Caltech Class of 2028 Official Thread

My son still sees the banner “Current Application Status: Awaiting Decision”. Please note that my son has received likely letters from both Yale and Columbia Engineering.

Keep us updated. I think they are just in the process of uploading decisions and yours will disappear soon.

Where do you see the fee date change on the portal?

As of 12:20 AM Eastern, the Application Status banner is still there. May be it will disappear in the morning or before the decision release.

Had banner for a long time, but was removed yesterday. Don’t think it means anything.

As the decisions from Caltech admissions arrive today, I wanted to take a moment to wish each and every one of you, including my son, the best of luck. Remember, the mere act of applying to Caltech is a testament to your courage and ability. Regardless of the outcome, each of you is already a winner in your own right. Wherever you end up, it will be the perfect place for you to thrive.

Any portal astrology?

Yes. If you wait two hours, you can find out your decision! This method works with 100% accuracy! But seriously, if you’re stressed right now, go do something else. Watch a movie or play video games or something.

We visited CalTech- had an amazing tour. Good luck to all, it’s an odd feeling knowing the rejection rate is like 96%. My son got into UC Davis yesterday so he is happy!

what is the application status banner? can’t find anything similar to it in the breakroom

wait so when r decisions dropping? CST. I thought it was 11:13

It should be between 11:12 and 11:14 depending on how you interpret their time-release problem.

so should be in an hour?

best of luck to everyone!

That was PST time. Decisions expected to come out by 11:22 AM PST.

I suppose it is actually 11:30 since 11:22 rounds to 11:30 and no college releases decisions at an unrounded time (except if you’re MIT)

Caltech can be quirky that way. Have you seen their T-shirts with MIT printed on the front?

Caltech gave a science equation with the release time. Should be 11:12 to 11:14 ish, maybe 10 minutes later. The equation this time is kind of ambiguous.

good luck to everyone!

Good luck to everyone. My daughter calculated it to be 11.20.02
