Thank you so much this was so helpful! Ik this is super late but i'm a junior right now and i would literally die to go to caltech its my absolute dream school but i was looking at the caltech supplementals and i was wondering what you wrote down for the section where it asks for what specific STEM awards you have? bc i am seriously lacking in that department lmfao!
Hey! I didn't have too many STEM awards. Most of them were just honorable mentions at math competitions, and I also participated in state round Knowledge Bowl competitions with a team. If you don't have many awards I would focus on personal projects that you may have done to show your particular interest in STEM. Good luck!
Kind of off topic but since I saw your interview with Amy, I'm curious. Would you choose Caltech again if you could go back? I'm accepted for 27 bur I also have Georgia Tech and Berkeley as my options and I just wanna be in a place where I would be happy and successful and not depressed. I'm scared of Caltech quite frankly. 😅
Congrats on your acceptance! I would say it depends on what you want out of your college experience. I wanted to go to a small, strong academic school in California while still being able to play volleyball, which is why I chose Caltech. Though every school has its downsides, I have made many friends and had great experiences here, so I would choose Caltech again. It's very challenging and daunting of course, but I have enjoyed my experience here and am not sure how I would fit in at a different school. I also really enjoy the house system and collaborative aspect here. Best of luck with your decision!
Dont give me hope 😭😭 Seriously though, thank you for making this video. Would you say that a lot of other students at Caltech are similar in this way? Also, have you seen anyone with a less than stellar gpa? (3.8 ish)
You can do it! I would say everyone did different things in high school, and there isn't a single "right path" you need to follow to get in. I know several Caltech students who hate math and never did any competitions. I also never asked people what their gpas were, so I'm not sure. Good luck!
@@galaxybidhan1034 This means you don't need to submit your ACT/SAT scores when you apply. From what I heard, they do not take your test scores into account when reading your application.
Thank you!! I emailed the head coach and sent them my game highlights. Caltech does recruiting differently where you have to still be able to get in academically, and you are essentially on the team if you do get in and were recruited!
@@kaixinyan555 I reached out to the head coach during my sophomore year of high school! That's great you're interested, I would suggest you reach out to the coach as soon as possible :)
I guess this is 3rd/ 4th tym I’m watcg ur vid…. I keep coming back to dis amazingly informative vid… KINDLY share can we change COMMON APP essay for particular university we r applying …. 😀
@@arshveersinghdhanoa I believe you can only submit your common application once, but it might be possible to change it for each college you apply to. I do not remember because it has been quite a while since college applications, sorry!
@@arshveersinghdhanoa I personally did not attend summer schools aside from summer camps, but they could be pretty useful if you want to continue learning during summers!
THANK YOU!! This video really helps to relieve my stress as I just transferred to a US high school TT. Caltech is always my dream school!!!
Good luck! Let me know if you get in :)

@@wAngel5 Thank you!
Do Caltech accept SAT Now I am willing to do
I think they are still test blind right now!
@@wAngel5 blind what you mean?

Wait... Are you Amy's sister?
Yes, I am!
Please how apply here ??
Hi, you can go on the Caltech website and find the application there!
@@wAngel5 you know the name of Website ?
Here it is: www.admissions.caltech.edu/apply
@@wAngel5 thank you very much ☺️🙏
you and your sister do not agree on the usefulness of math competitions for getting into a stem college but do agree that math is not a stem....
i really love this video and your advice! I was wondering how you got onto the caltech vball team. did you get recruited or did you try out?
Thank you!! I emailed the head coach and sent them my game highlights. Caltech does recruiting differently where you have to still be able to get in academically, and you are essentially on the team if you do get in and were recruited!
@@wAngel5 oo ok so you sent in your game highlights after you got in right? haha I'm also interested in caltech and the vball team
