Applicants must submit either the Common Application or the Coalition Application, along with required essays, letters of recommendation, and high school transcripts.<\/p>\n<p>Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are currently optional due to pandemic-related adjustments. Caltech also considers extracurricular achievements, particularly in STEM fields. Interviews are not required but may be offered. The institute practices need-blind admissions for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, with financial aid available. Deadlines typically fall in early November for early action and early January for regular decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"question-category":[404],"class_list":["post-12874","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-overseas-education"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is the admission process of California Institute of Technology (Caltech)?
