Generic rejection

Did anyone hear back about the open house event schedule from the University?

Not surprised! On behalf of the staff and faculty at the California Institute of Technology, we would like to thank you for your application to the graduate program. Regretfully, we are unable to offer you a place in our incoming graduate class. Please be assured that each application was carefully reviewed by the relevant admissions committee. Caltech is a small school, and we have limited slots in the graduate program. As a result, we can admit less than 10% of the applicants who apply each year, and we have to turn down many highly qualified candidates. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Best Regards,
