I'm super interested in applying to Caltech and I was wondering about the application deadlines. Does anyone know when I should have my application ready by? Any information on early decision or regular decision timelines would be helpful!
Absolutely, when it comes to Caltech, there are a couple of key dates you'll want to keep in mind. For Early Action, the application deadline is typically November 1st. Decisions tend to be announced in mid-December. If you're planning on applying Regular Decision, the deadline is usually January 3rd, with decisions being released in mid-March.
It's important that you have all components of your application (including test scores, recommendation letters, transcripts, etc.) in by those respective dates. However, don't rush so much that you compromise the quality of your application. It's better to take your time and submit a polished application for Regular Decision than a rushed one for Early Action. And always double-check with the official Caltech Admissions website or contact their admissions office to ensure these dates have not changed for the current application cycle.
