<p>Swimmy – by my definition, I would say you’re quite into math and science. One doesn’t have to strap oneself to a chair and force oneself to enjoy math and science for some time…</p>
<p>I’d consider myself quite interested in mathematics, just for example’s sake. And no doubt, in spare time, I often get excited just thinking about the future prospects to learn some interesting, complex stuff. I find the subject very pretty. And I’m not very interested in most other extracurricular involvements – I like good company and good conversation, find philosophy and literature quite entertaining to talk about for some time every so often, but at the end of the day, I can’t sit down and think about those things for large portions of time. I think this is the sort of thing one must have.</p>
<p>Though, I mentioned several other compatability conditions to really like Caltech besides this basic one of “really liking” math/sci/engineering.</p>
<p>And thanks Lizzard! I described based on a few alumni’s accounts, plus what I’ve read online.</p>
