[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't CMU way less selective than CalTech?[/quote]

Not exactly. They like different type of students. Based on my public school, CMU admits the top students with perfect scores, competition awards, USCO Goold, etc. Cal Tech like the one involved in deep research. I knew at least 2 students who getting into CalTech with GPA even not in top 10%. But both had good research experiences, publishing paper, attending conferences, etc.  [/quote]

I have a student who has done deep research. Published. Perfect stats. (not a brag. just trying to find them a place that won't deny based off of yield protection or deny because they don't have the awards. Just a hard, hard worker who didn't like comps) Where does that student fit? [/quote]
 
With research but without competition awards, generally this is Cal Tech type in our school. You need to send all research materials including conference posters. Cal Tech will let accordingly professors to read and judge. MIT definitely likes competitors. CMU seems to prefer the ones with perfect scores and competitions too. But I am not a college counselor. This is just based on our public school in the past several years. If I were you, I'd apply all of them, but focus on Cal Tech. [/quote]
