Should I even consider Caltech as a possible college to apply to?

I thought the exact same thing OP, and almost didn’t apply. I ended up going with (for my 3 things): computer animation (with a lil programming), an internship I did for the summer before Junior year, and an engineering survey course I did the summer before senior year. Not exactly primo math/science competitions or clubs. :P

But…I got in. So, if you want to go to Caltech, go for it.

You’ve got the test scores, just let your love for programming/math/science rock out the essays. :)
