"in this thread, only around 5 or 6 people are talking..." yeah well when the caltech descision came out there where 5-6 people more.. but you can't estimate the number, a lot of people don't actually use CC at all, or don't even know it exists.. i think CC is mostly filled with intl students anyway, and there isn't a lot of int students on the waitlist
"The letter had to be POSTMARKED by may 1st, so they can't expect everyone's decisionto be received by today."
ok they are insane, there are some letters the maybe wont arrive for two weeks...
"caltech said last year the waiting list was 290 students..."
they did? it says in the letter that "In the past five years the number of students accepting a place on the Waiting List has ranged from 123 to 291", but not how many people where last year... oh god, i hoped they don't have a big waiting list like MIT
well, i guess we have to be patient a couple of more days, and just see what will happen..
