<p>chaoticcranium, I’m glad you were finally able to make a choice between two great programs, and although I would have been happy for you regardless of your choice, I’m glad you’re going to come to Tech!</p>
<p>There exists a message board created by and for 2009 admits, if you want to meet the admits who don’t hang out on CC: <a href=“http://caltech2009.ctyalcove.org/[/url]”>http://caltech2009.ctyalcove.org/</a></p>
<p>I’d like to register for those forums, but I don’t have access to ‘the 10th word of the last paragraph of the acceptance letter’, as I’ve been in the
South of Nepal with an INGO since January, and will be until late August. Can someone either post this or email it to geoffgalgon at gmail dot com? And though internet access is indeed difficult around here (2 hr+ bike ride, made more difficult by the coming of monsoon), I’d like to start getting an idea of what the next 4 years may bring. Thanks.</p>
