re: Caltech wins conference game for the first time in 26 years

Some interesting info...

Caltech is not for everyone, and getting in is not easy. By campus tradition, the target size of the freshman class is always 215—the number of seats in the physics lecture hall .

Compare that to the fact that 2,760 applications were received and the 551 letters of admission that were sent in 2005; do the math and you’ll see that it is a highly selective process. Although there are no strict requirements for test scores, the academic achievements of the freshman class are always very high. The middle SAT I scores range from 700–770 Verbal and 780–800 Math ; eighty-eight percent graduated in the top tenth of their high school class.

Intercollegiate sports are open to almost any student who can commit to daily practices, and almost thirty percent of the student body plays on Caltech’s eighteen NCAA, Division III teams. There is cross-country, soccer, basketball, baseball, fencing, and more, but for over a decade now, no football team. There are also a wide variety of physical education classes for students to fulfill their PE requirement, ranging from traditional sports to yoga, scuba diving, and rock climbing.
