So many interesting posts, and expect your D will have more acceptances that will make the waters murky but inviting.

Just thought I'd caution one to think that Caltech kids need incentives to socialize. I never heard of "coupons". My S is pleased that meal plan doesn't incude weekends,so kids don't feel guilty about going out to eat. The Houses sometimes plan weekend parties, where they build mazes or pirate ships in the courtyards or just barbecue. For some kids, its a nourishing & exciting place to spend 4 years. As nngmm wrote, it is different from Yale, and Yale is quite diferent from Stanford.
