Applied + Computational Mathematics PhD at Caltech

[dido]

Are there people here that applied to the program? Did anyone receive an offer/rejection or was contacted for an interview?

 

I believe that the acceptances are a very minor number and it is unlikely that many of them would read and write here.

 

This program is my most desired one but I can easily live with a rejection. I have nothing from them yet, neither was I contacted for an interview. I sent them an email and received an almost "non-personalized semi-automatic" reply that they are finalizing their decisions and letters should be expected the first week of April.

Same boat. I guess you have emailed to the secretary. They are saying that decisions are being finalized but the deadline is one month from now. I am also checking to see if anyone got interview or admit so far.

Yes, I emailed the secretary. Do you have any offers from schools or you applied only to top programs and now you are nervous about still not having any positive replies? Are you an international applicant (like me)?

 

I myself do not think that I am good enough for those most prestigious programs and schools although it is always good and desirable to get a degree from them. At least it is much easier to find jobs later. However, you never know where you would be happy. This is something you cannot know in advance. That is why I am pretty cool about getting a rejection.

 

Caltech is very inconsistent about the dates offers and rejections arrive (unlike universities like Berkeley). It also seems that "Applied + Comp Math" arrives a bit later compared to other programs. At least this is how it seems from the very small number of samples on the results page here. Also, every year is somewhat different from previous years, so you simply cannot guess what will happen .

 

Good luck! Maybe we will meet at Caltech or maybe we won't .
