About CalTech

Transferring to CalTech has been my dream goal.

My parents have always told me to get the best for myself, and so I really looked out for myself. But then there are naysayers out there, friends or not, discouraging ones who scoff at the idea that I can EVEN DREAM of going to Caltech. Some of them have my interest in mind and wants to bring me back to reality. Some just don’t friggin’ care and just want me to fail.

And then there’s my own perception of my ability. I’m not exactly the best student in class. I’m not the first person classmates go to for help, and I’m not the one with the best scores for exams and assignments. I know all these. In fact, at some destructive period of my life (which goes in a cycle and arise at some point or another in a quarter, always), I get passive aggressive, not do my work, lie for the work I haven’t done, get dependent on classmates, and just don’t give a crap about my education. I think there’s miles of improvements to go for me when it comes to responsibilities and discipline.

And what took the cake was this:

Five-year Totals	Applicants	Admits
Total	956	95
U.S. 2-year institution	310	31
U.S. 4-year institution	371	25
Non-U.S. institution	275	39

The keyword here is “Five-year totals”.

There’s 4 days to deadline, I haven’t started, and I’m not sure if this is what I want anymore.

Quotes of the day:

“That knowing is better than wandering.”

“That waking is better than sleeping.”

Oh the things poet do to hide away their dysfunctionality.
