I applied for Caltech EE MS, and received an email from a POI on 3/2. In the email he said that the official admission letter is coming "very soon". It seems like most EE applicants received similar email on 3/2-3/3, and have been waiting for the final notification since then. I saw someone said said that the official decision usually come out around mid March. Anyone in a similar situation is welcomed to share any thoughts here.

Thank you so much!

Hi, everyone. I received this email 3/2 Wednesday. Anyone have ever heard of a "Recommendation for Admission"? While this email says it's unofficial, it really confuses me what is the procedure of making admission decisions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been recommended for admission into the master’s program in Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. While this unofficial letter serves as a useful source of advanced information, you will receive a formal letter from the Graduate Office very soon. If you do not receive this letter within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of this email, please contact our Electrical Engineering Option Coordinator, Ms. Tanya Owen, at tanya@caltech.edu. As a graduate student pursuing a higher degree at one of the pioneering research institutions in the world, you will have a wonderful and exciting time here. Congratulations, and we look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
