<p>I’m currently a freshmen at Caltech too, and I also got in Regular Decision unexpectedly. The coursework here is definitely doable if you put in enough effort, and the school is WAY more laid back that you’d think. At the moment it’s finals week and there’s still time to goof around.</p>
<p>Just to let you know though, the finals are insanely hard here, at least whilst you are on pass/fail and dislike proofs. :)</p>
