[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.admissions.caltech.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/standardized-tests/standardized-testing-buckets Interesting approach. Less stress for kids?[/quote] ""We feel like we lose a lot of people who self-select out of our pool that we would have wanted to admit." the Institute has typically admitted a handful of students with scores below 750 each year. " I don't think people self-select out because they don't have the perfect score. They self-select out because CalTech is for students who want to pursue Ph.D. and research. Unfortunately, a lot of high scorers want a different path, Wall Street, med school, or law school for example. But good to know that they do differentiate between 790 and 750. [/quote] Do they really? I’m not sure that they will in the actual process based on their remarks. Two missed questions can be a 770 or a 780 depending on the individual test, it’s just not that accurate.[/quote]
