Same and UCB !!

Anyone waiting on UIUC ?

Any opinions on Penn grad program ?

Another email... Apparently scripps sent out 99% of their selections. Rejections will go out on Monday 02/01. Like the person actually said "99% of invitations were sent out" yet continues to say "final selection(s) are still being made"

Berkely organic anyone ?!

Just got an email from Scripps saying all apps were reviewed and final notifications will go out next week!!!

If it makes you guys feel better, I am also still waiting to hear from Yale, UCB, MIT, Scripps and Caltech.

I like the enthusiasm (:

Ok thank you. Yes, from previous years, it seems like email notifications were between 22-29 of this month. Let's hope for the best.. I also mentallly start to prepare to attend UPenn.

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any insight about the chemistry department at UPenn ( especifically the organic division)... What is it like to be a first year ? How are the classes set up ? Also, in terms of research, are PIs approachable ? Is the environment supportive overall ? How long are people expected to be in labs ?! sorry for the many questions. I appreciate all thoughtful opinions in advance (:

Thanks Phenol. Are you organic ? Also, was this POI someone you mentioned in your SOP ? Did he/she happen to mention when official notifications are out ?

Thank you both so much for the insight ! I appreciate it

Anyone heard from Yale, umich, UCB, caltech or MIT ? Also if one didn't get an interview from scripps, are chances over ? ( any insight from last year or people applying now ?!) thanks !!

Hi everyone ! I have a question about stipends for grad school. I recently got accepted (unofficial offer) to UC Davis, and I was told that my stipend will come from TA or the PI. I know that probably for the first year I will have to TA. When I do so, is my monthly payment the equivalent of the base yearly stipend ? Or is it an addition to the stipend ? Once I get on the PI funding, does that mean I will only be getting the base stipend ? The other thing I was wondering about is when do grad student recieve these payments ? Can I request some in advance to cover moving cost and rent before the grad program starts ? Sorry for the many questions, but I will appreciate any insight in advance. thanks (:
