<p>yeah, according to the incoming class profile, there are 253 students enrolling
(down from 257, but still too high? The year before was only 241, and it looks like that is still on the higher end)</p>
<p>It would be a lot of trouble for the admissions office, and they don’t really have any reason to accept me other than that it’s what I want, and it seems pretty clear that they don’t want me. (Not that it’s unreasonable at all…I wouldn’t want me either if my class were overenrolled. But yeah it was kind of sad that all of the recruiting things are not that sincere and only meant to try and get exactly the right number of people :P)</p>
<p>I think I will just go to MIT, even though I like Caltech more. Things will probably turn out okay, and if I really hate it at MIT, I suppose I could try to transfer to Caltech after all the extra people drop out when they find out what it’s really like. (Just kidding about that last part! 
)</p>
