Caltech 2022 Question

Is there not a portal for you to review your progress?  

There is, my message was to confirm if the letter had been attached and if I needed to do anything else.

My son never saw what the coach had done or included to indicate his support with admissions, so I doubt you will see that kind of information in your portal of info.  If you applied early decision or early action, I assume you'll be hearing soon whether you got in under those circumstances.  If coach isn't available to confirm his support, I don't know what else to tell you.  Good luck!

Okay thanks, I'm just hoping for the best

My son also had a couple of very good phone calls with Coach Whitehead, along with a few email exchanges. I know the coach submitted a letter of support to admissions office by end of Oct. We were guardedly optimistic, but unfortunately my son did not get accepted.

I'm not sure how many kids the coach wrote letters for, but I thought he mentioned he was looking for 7 players. I haven't seen anyone 2022s say they've committed there yet - I was expecting to see a couple by now, since early action decision was on 12/18.

Yeah I didn't get in either and was surprised to not see anything about people committed. When I talked and did a campus tour he said his athlete acceptance rate is around 50% so he most likely wrote for about 14 people.

Mg19 -  sorry to hear you didn't get in either. I figured he had at best a 50/50 chance, but it is a crazy hard school to get into. Are you pursuing any other D3 HA schools? My son was in contact with 8-10 coaches in late summer, but probably only a couple that he's seriously considering and applying to.

I applied to MIT EA without a letter of support and was deffered. I  didn't have a 780+ math on the SAT so I wasn't able to get a letter of support there so if I happen to get in this spring I would walk on there. I'm also looking at Harvey Mudd as well and I plan on applying there RD and am in contacts with the coach there. How about your son?

He was deferred at Case Western (along with seemingly every other EA applicant), and has applied at Rochester, but would be walking-on either school. He's applying RD to MIT, but that is a reach school, even with a 790 SAT-Math, perfect grades and a dozen APs. Harvey Mudd is on his list, but I'm not sure his FB velo is high enough (T83, 80-82). He met the coach at WPI at a showcase this summer, and also considering Univ of Chicago and possibly Carleton.

Yeah I wonder how many recruits got in EA at Caltech because I figured I would have seen at least one person by now. I wish the best of luck to you and him and hopefully he ends up somewhere he loves.
