Admitted student here. I want to purchase a Caltech pennant. The ones sold by the official bookstore don't have the Caltech seal on them, only the word Caltech in white font. I found two websites: Link 1 Link 2 that sell pennants more akin to MIT's or Berkeley's and in my opinion, look better. I have 2 questions:

1. Does anyone have a pennant with a seal/any pennant that isn't just white text on orange, and if so, where did you buy it?
2. I feel these websites are slightly suspect. Anyone have any experiences with them?

I'll be visiting the campus in-person soon. If the bookstore sells other pennants not listed on their online website, I can buy them then if needed.

I'm committed to Georgia Tech, but got off the waitlist for Caltech today. Undergrad, not grad.

Major: AE at Georgia Tech, MechE with minor in AE at Caltech (they don't offer an AE major for undergrad)

Career goals: Either NASA, Blue Origin, SpaceX, RKLB OR patent law OR PhD/Masters.

Financials: NOT a factor.

Main concerns are: aerospace (specifically astronautical) industry reputation and career prospects.

If anyone has been to either school: Positive and negative of the engineering/AE programs? Industry connections/internships? Social life? Overall recommendation?

Got the call today!

Mechanical engineering major with minor in aerospace engineering, since they don't offer an aerospace major.

Actually can't believe it. Seems like a dream come true. I sent off my application as a "lol what if I do get in", expecting nothing. Surprised when I got waitlisted, shocked when I got the call today!
