Hi guys,
I am under the impression that no one applied to caltech EE this year :P.....prove me wrong by sharing any info.... :)
On a serious note, has anyone heard back from pasadena(EE Caltech) yet? I guess the probable candidates might already have had their interviews?

This is the only grad school I am waiting for. If they reject me, I will accept the offer from UC Berkeley and put an end to this painful process.

I expect rejections from Caltech at the end of this month considering data from previous years.

2011 April, 4th-5th
2010 March,30th-31st / April,1st
2009 April, 1st,2nd...

I have also sent an email to Tanya Owen (Academic Options Coordinator, Electrical Engineering) but she hasn't replied yet.

don't know why they take like ages to announce the results because in the end only 20 or so guys make it to EE, around 15 for Phd and the rest for MS.
btw, looks like caltech released the ''first batch'' of admits today, and judjing from the number of available slots, a 'batch' here could even correspond to just a single admit :P

Yeah...no idea. I heard from Stanford on the 21st of February then MIT by that Saturday (25). By the way do you know if they are emailing or mailing their decisions?

@nablaa
I guess all the acceptances' would be sent latest by the end of next week(till 23rd March) and the sugar-coated two-liners, as you pointed out, by the end of march.. :)
