for me, I'd say definately! just wondering what others on CC were thinking though ]]> California Institute of Technology littlemikey4-220069 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/813153-caltech-your-1-a.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/812720-get-email.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:11:32 GMT I got the email today saying they have all of my info and it says decisions should be sent on the 15th or something like this... does that mean arrive around the 15th or actually sent of the 15th?

Do I have a chance of getting in at caltech?

Here's my info:
4.583 G.P.A
SAT I (I took it twice):
CR:800,730 MATH:800,770 WRIT: 800,800

SAT II: US HIS:770 MATH II:760 BIO: to be taken.

Class rank 1. I'm female.

AP classes and scores: calc ab:5; calc bc:4; chem:4; comp sci a:4; us his: 5; world: 5;
art his: 4; english lang:5; euro: 4

Math/science extracurrics:

continental math league/ amc high scorer
honorable mention at CA state science fair for my project on how math is innate
ophthalmology related community service project in india

other extracurrics:
varsity tennis 4 yrs, MVP, captain
mock trial
community service clubs
work at the temple
symphonic band
indian classical dance, tabla (indian drums)
ap national scholar, RYLA, CSF, NHL

Though my extracurrics don' really scream math/science nerd, i love those subjects. i'm taking ap bio right now, and my area of interest/research would be with telomeres. and i'd like to continue my science fair project to other species.

do i have a chance? what should i emphasize most? ]]> California Institute of Technology chumpchange-254004 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/california-institute-technology/811022-chance-me-i-love-math-science-buy-my-extracurrics-dont-really-show.html
