TongueSten Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 This time last year a few people had received acceptances. Anyone heard anything yet? RutheniumMaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallocene2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I got an email last week from a POI I listed in my app-he said that he's on the adcom and that my application (in particular my strong research record) caught their eye and that he would like to hear more about my research. I wrote back and now he wants to call me to tell me more about his research (I also asked him about that). I also got another personal email from a prof from a school that I didn't apply to.

evanescent_wave Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Which schools were these for, metallocene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallocene2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 evanescent_wave, the first school is Oregon State and the second is Texas A&M. What division in chemistry are you applying to ? I am also applying to UMich and UC Irvine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaffeeCafe Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I received a call from a prof at UChicago saying I've been accepted + additional fellowship. I was surprised considering the deadline hasn't even passed yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late November while on Thanksgiving break. He claimed on the phone they do a semi-rolling admissions and sometimes will admit people if it is an obvious choice early on. (I was still surprised because I only have 2/3 LORs submitted!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEnthusiast Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I got accepted by Notre Dame on 11/30 and by U of Florida on 12/5 I think. very excited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanescent_wave Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Metallocene -- I applied for analytical divisions, generally. And congrats to all of you who've heard so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemicalcloud Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hello and good luck to you all! I am also applying for the Fall 2016 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo for days Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Found this page after nervously checking google about acceptance dates, glad to see a group of us together!

FTY720 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi all! Congrats to all of you who have been accepted so far! So far I've heard back from Johns Hopkins, UC Davis, and Temple with great financial aid offers from all, so I'm super excited!! Where else are you guys applying? Anyone heard anything yet from UC Irvine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaffeeCafe Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Great! Can people update if they know anything about UNC, Duke, UW-Madison, and Northwestern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEnthusiast Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have not heard from any other schools yet considering the deadline for most of these school was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgo for days Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Also, helpful webpage on grad cafe: http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=chemistry+berkeley&t=a&o= Allows you to search for other people's application results + enter in your own! I have typed in "chemistry berkeley," for example, and it shows results from only previous years, indicating that either no one has heard back or that no one who has heard back has entered their information in. Also, from looking over the last few years for a handful of schools, it seems that most people hear back mid-late January, so still a decent chunk of time left to wait for most of us.

ChemEnthusiast Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 yeah, I think only those obvious applicants get acceptance this early. The rest will be coming in in waves from late December to Early Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard back from Davis yesterday. Right before my PChem final haha so it was hard to focus. I put biological chemistry as my first choice, followed by analytical chemistry and physical chemistry. I'm really interested in materials chemistry and the biological applications of those materials, so that's why I put down those disciplines.
