<p><em>Sigh</em>…I miss high school</p>
<p>Well…to be perfectly blunt, you are pretty screwed… 2380 SAT just doesn’t cut it today. 3.88 uw GPA is abysmally low. If you don’t take all possible AP courses in high school, Caltech adcom will think you were slacking, unless you had an extremely good excuse (such as being a captain on 2 or 3 varsity sports). Also, in case you haven’t heard, Caltech is instituting a strict “no Asian males” policy next year.</p>
<p>I would save the application fee and maybe try and find a job at Starbucks or McDonald’s…</p>
<p>Out of interest, why do you want to go to Caltech?</p>
