<p>I said that I was pretty sure "Caltech doesn’t really care that much about how good you are at English no matter where you’re from. "</p>
<p>This is different than not caring about English. My point is that Caltech often accepts people with SAT Reading scores far below their Math scores (and in many of these cases, I would also not consider those students particularly strong writers, but this is purely based on my own anecdotal experience–I worked in the writing center for a short period of time). </p>
<p>Caltech most certainly cares about raising the proficiency of written and verbal communication of its students (and therefore, English) once they have arrived at Caltech–hence Caltech’s 12 required terms of H&SS, etc.</p>
