[li]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: Congratulations to all who got in! I think my lack of research/science and math extracurriculars/not perfect SAT II scores were what kept me out.[/li]Well, Caltech was my dream school, so I’ve learned the hard way that where you go to college doesn’t define you. I’m still me, and I still got a 5-foot beanbag for my birthday, and I’m still a nerd, and I still love space. Maybe graduate school, then.[/ul]
