ucla caltech mstp interview question

[bluelamin]

so on their website it states that these guys only interview about 20 people for doing a phd at caltech. do they only accept 2 out of the 20 or more and then wait to see who withdraws?

Your question was very poorly worded. I had a hard time understanding what you were trying to say.
UCLA had 10 matriculants last year.

I think you misunderstood the question. The 10 matriculants to UCLA last year includes 2 that got into their joint program with Caltech. OP is asking how the acceptances to the joint program at Caltech is executed.

If I were to guess, they probably start with 2 acceptances and compile a waitlist and go from there. This is definitely a question that you could ask the program themselves or their current students.
