Bremsespor is right. Unless you were really, really lazy in math class throughout your education, getting those kinds of scores is not a sign that you’ll do well at caltech or like being there. this is a place were you eat math problems or math related things every single day.

But I could be wrong. Maybe you had a bad day or something. lol.
care to explain in your defense?

and I also want to mention that all of us are just trying to see if you’d enjoy being at caltech and get the most out of it. we’re not trying to discourage you from pursuing your dreams. don’t ever give up your dreams (unless its like curing cancer before graduating college or something like that). so heck, if you do love math and think you can improve in college, by all means apply and tell caltech that.

good luck!!
