Thank you for all the information.
When do most Mudd students start research? How much is done during the year versus summers? How accessible are profs for taking in UG students. We got mixed information - some said year round, some said mostly summers, some said they just didn’t have time b/c of workload.
We saw the announcement about Caltech’s latest class and know there is a huge effort to bring in women and URMs by the new Director of Admissions - do you think this will change anything about Caltech’s atmosphere or who attends (and no, I am not implying lower standards)?
And, let me reiterate, we know that getting into any of these schools is a major accomplishment and C may get into none of them! I just don’t want anyone to think that I am assuming C will get in, odds are not good. That being said, we are still trying to figure out pros and cons.
