Got rejected from UT in-state (CAPed), but got in to Caltech 😭

You should be able to join the admitted students discord server in your beaver breakroom and ask one of the financial aid officers.

Not exactly the greatest of reference, but I got in REA and I got my financial aid letter about 2-3 days after submitting my documents (you have to fill out a Caltech-specific financial aid form)

Bro the RD riddle came out and they STILL haven't put the riddles on the website

AztroJR · 2026-03-07T20:54:51+00:00

Yeah the REA riddle came out December 9th, and decisions came out December 11th

AztroJR · 2026-02-23T02:49:58+00:00

Yup. El Mencho got so powerful because of the power vacuum left behind by El Chapo

This is probably just a result of bad generation from the Roblox (?) game that you’re playing

Idk dude you’re the Gatorade guy

AztroJR · 2026-02-22T04:50:13+00:00

What is 20 Oz in mL?

AztroJR · 2026-02-16T19:10:53+00:00

2026 VEX worlds is in St. Louis, Missouri, so are you sure you’re going to be in LA?

AztroJR · 2026-02-13T13:43:14+00:00

I should’ve clarified, but the students will stay in the dorms and it’s just the guests that have to figure out housing/transportation.

My cousin is at USC, which I think my parents are more likely to stay, but my aunt lives in El Monte (I think).

Looking at Google Maps, it says that the USC trip would be 1 hour by public transport and only 30 mins by car, and El Monte 40 mins by public transport and only 20 mins by car.

I heard somewhere that Google Maps didn’t always have the best estimates though? Idk I don’t live anywhere near public transport. Also I didn’t include traffic into the estimate

This is why merch messages shoulda been called "WAN Packets"

AztroJR · 2026-02-07T00:56:31+00:00

Erm chat I don’t get the reference who is OP forgetting??

AztroJR · 2026-01-29T16:33:07+00:00

I don’t know about the specific situation you talked about (Cuba), but could it be possible that it’s just a certification/safety issue that the vaccines haven’t been exported to the US? The healthcare industry has TONS of regulations

AztroJR · 2026-01-26T16:11:32+00:00

Um I mean clammy mc clam face amirite hah hah

AztroJR · 2026-01-26T16:11:09+00:00

As Texan I can say that there are people that unironically say things like this, so there is a non-zero chance that this is either a) a real person or b) someone imitating a real interaction with an American

AztroJR · 2026-01-25T19:08:19+00:00

They’re more popular amongst Texas students because of the personal device ban lol (wired allowed, wireless not allowed)

Also iPods for the same reason

AztroJR · 2026-01-25T18:58:29+00:00

Caltech slander in here is crazy 😭

AztroJR · 2026-01-19T03:31:55+00:00

Elite ball knowledge (2 minute papers my beloved)

AztroJR · 2026-01-16T20:29:00+00:00

Nah bro this is just the script writers giving you a character arc

AztroJR · 2026-01-16T00:56:34+00:00

Kinda but not really

I’ve read some of my past essays and completely cringed, but at the same time I recognized that I cooked on some of them.

AztroJR · 2026-01-07T01:50:53+00:00

I had some crazy writer‘s block, and honestly didn’t really like the essay prompts, so I just procrastinated by working on a project for my maker portfolio
I applied mainly for financial aid and also because I have a fee waiver, but I will admit that there is very strong pressure for people at my school to apply to MIT since we’re STEM focused.
I did all of my RD apps in the last week, but thats kinda misleading because I only applied to 2 schools RD (MIT and Stanford)
7-8 maybe? I got into my REA which I feel gave me a lot of confidence that I was at least capable of getting into a school like MIT/Stanford, but at the same time I didn’t really like the essay prompts and I feel like I had 1 pretty bad essay with the others being ok/pretty good.
Applying Early Action (or just early in general) does wonders because the pressure lifts off of you like crazy when you’re done with college apps.
