I'm currently considering transferring to Caltech and want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines. I think Caltech has a specific transfer window, but I'm not quite sure when it is. If anyone has transferred there or knows when the transfer application deadline is, I'd really appreciate the help. I'm trying to plan my applications carefully and manage my time effectively for each school I'm interested in applying to. Thanks in advance!
According to Caltech's official admission policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle, the transfer application deadline is February 15. This includes your application form, academic transcripts, two instructor evaluations, SAT or ACT scores, as Caltech requires them, and the application fee or fee waiver.
It's important to remember that Caltech's transfer admission process is highly competitive, with a limited number of spaces available each year. The university usually accepts a small number of transfer students, often fewer than 5 each year. So while getting everything in on time is crucial, you'll also need to ensure your application is as strong as possible. Keep your application focused, and well-organized, and be sure to highlight your academic achievements and passion for the STEM field.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your application process!
