Hey, everyone knows that Caltech is academically strong in science and engineering, but, in terms of admission of highschoolers applying, how much does it matter on your application if you aren’t very strong in english and history. By strong I mean having A’s but not taking AP’s or honours. I read somewhere that Caltech wants “spikes” in their students, meaning that they want students that have a primary focus on math and science. So, what are your thoughts?
