<p>Whether Caltech can accept more students or not is not a question of being nice or not, it’s question of what works well for the school. </p>
<p>So let me now rephrase: you think Ray Prado “isn’t the nicest of people” because he didn’t respond to one of your emails without being prompted AND because of a second-hand account you read on the internet of him saying that “the class is closed” (not “case closed”). </p>
<p>I’ve known him for over three years. I might have a slightly stronger position here…</p>
<p>Edit: I should be clear: I don’t really care if you agree with me or not, and I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I just want to make very clear to anyone that reads this thread what the basis of your opinion is and what the basis of mine is. I feel confident that they will come to the correct conclusion based on that evidence.</p>
