<p>^^You appear to be a current student at Caltech; am I correct? How does Caltech award AP credit (if at all)? I’m guessing that Caltech uses placement tests rather than AP tests for math and science.</p>
<p>Thanks for the more encouraging remarks.</p>
<p>Our school’s system of transcripts, counselor recs, and teacher recs prevent us from applying to more. I live in California, so the limit is fairly reasonable considering the caliber of our in-state public schools (except for budget cuts…).</p>
<p>I plan on taking physics courses either at the local CC or with EPGY next year (unless I can convince my school to let me take Physics C), so hopefully that can help me show strength/depth in physics.</p>
<p>I still don’t know if I’ll apply to Caltech or not, but it’s not off my list yet.</p>
