<p>Here is the message from Caltech admisison director:
</p>
<p>!!!
21.66 acceptance rate. 27.86% defer. Seems like they rejected quite a lot. 50 % !</p>
<p>For the curious/lazy</p>
<p>Accepted: 21.7%
Deferred: 27.9%
Rejected: 50.5%</p>
<p>^as far as im concerned, that seems like a pretty good chance of not being rejected-compared to regular decision(i think its about 80% rejection).
Either way, i’m not going to be upset if i get deferred/rejected, although acceptance/defer would be awesome.</p>
<p>well i dunno. I know some schools like defer like 70% of their early applicants, so 50% rejected is quite high in that respect.</p>
<p>ugghhhhh…i’m dyingggg…looks like i’ll find out by mail first if it comes on friday to CT or online first if mail comes on saturday or later.</p>
<p>I am in the northwest so i will prolly hear by mail on friday i am thinking. Well maybe thursday since the thin envelopes prolly take less time to travel. lol.</p>
<p>I live about two hours away from the school. Didn’t come in today.</p>
<p>I live in the city of Los Angeles. It arrived.</p>
<p>ThisCouldBeHeavn,</p>
<p>Do you not want to post your stats?</p>
<p>it’s in the other thread.</p>
<p>wow
coolness
!!!</p>
<p>Makes me feel much better. Those who got deferred were in the top 50% of the applicant pool… I feel like I’m somewhat legit now.</p>
<p>^^^totally same, millerl1te!! I looked at your stats, and out of all other ppl’s stats posted, i think mine could be the most similar to urs.</p>
