hey guys! I am FGLI and was just wondering if Caltech WiSTEM was worth it for someone with little funds, I could gather the money but I’d like to know if it’s prestigious and worth it, will it help or harm my application for the Questbridge College Match? Thanks guys!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I've discussed this w/ upperclassmen in my house and have received generally vague responses.
I've just finished the first-year, and I got out with the GPA I wanted after a (at least for me) very strenuous term on grades. I can barely get up for SURF and I want to sleep 12 hours a day to recover from the all-nighters. I took 51 units, and I'll be taking at least 48 until senior year to stay on track to graduate.
I'm aware that I'm at least slightly burnt out, but the marathon has just started and I have lots of more difficult terms to persist through. How do you maintain the stamina to keep a good GPA while also not having severe declines in health?
Is it still easy to make the team or has it gotten harder with people getting cut?

I'm planning on applying to this program because it sounds interesting and helpful, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the program other than the short email I received describing the program. Does anyone have first-hand experience they can share about the program? It would be much appreciated :)
