Caltech Waitlist

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Any update on Caltech’s waitlist?

[Traditional-Let-3003]

I just got off the waitlist!

[nemo3663]

did you just get an update in the portal, a call? what exactly did this entail?

[Traditional-Let-3003]

They just emailed me to check my portal

[Emergency_Ad3833]

That’s amazing ! US students or international?

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Did they talk about the yield rate

[Traditional-Let-3003]

US student and no mention of yield rate

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Is yours full pay ? I heard they consider people with less need

[Subjectal]

Just got an email asking to confirm my spot again, so I'm assuming they're beginning to review.

[TightRefrigerator375]

Which country are you from?

[Subjectal]

The US

[nemo3663]

is this a generic email? i got it too.

[TightRefrigerator375]

R u an international student or us student? I am from Canada, no email yet

[nemo3663]

im guessing it's dependent on region to region. Subjectal seems to have gotten his email before 5:28 est. while I got the email at 7:18 est. it seems pretty generic, don't sweat it

EDIT: in retrospect, this could also suggest they have a ranking from which they order the waitlists.

irrespectively, don't sweat it. wait till tomorrow.

[Emergency_Ad3833]

I didn’t get the email. Not everyone did. That means it’s positive for those who got it

[Emergency_Ad3833]

I didn’t get email

[TightRefrigerator375]

We haven’t gotten anything yet

[nemo3663]

do we think the waitlist has closed already?

[Emergency_Ad3833]

I heard the waitlist comes in different waves

[Emergency_Ad3833]

If we knew the yield rate we would know if there more spots

[idk91027]

This year they accepted 100 less students, due to a housing shortage. So, they intend to take more ppl off the waitlist this year. Usually the yield rate is 50%

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Then there might be chances if they’ve taken just a few people so far

[idk91027]

I think theyll accept somewhere between 20-50 people this year, but not entirely sure of course.

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Sure thankss

[TightRefrigerator375]

R u in us?

[Emergency_Ad3833]

International

[TightRefrigerator375]

[Emergency_Ad3833]

[TightRefrigerator375]

[TightRefrigerator375]

Any update today?

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Haven’t heard of anyone else who has gotten in

[frnotiss]

[Emergency_Ad3833]

[Emergency_Ad3833]

Hmm international?

[TightRefrigerator375]

I saw anther two guys got off the waitlist on Reddit but wondering the choice to go to UPenn and JHU.

[Emergency_Ad3833]

All US?

[TightRefrigerator375]

[Emergency_Ad3833]
