nucleophilicity Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Is anyone planning to visit UW-Madison? I got the acceptance letter on 12-23, and will most likely attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prolixity Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Is anyone planning to visit UW-Madison? I got the acceptance letter on 12-23, and will most likely attend. Letter came in the postal mail or via email? I haven't been at home since Dec 17th, but I've also applied and they're rated high on my list.

prolixity Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 E-mail and postal mail. Thanks. Congratulations, I hope to hear the same news soon. It's an awesome school (but I hear the Winters are brutal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemmefatale Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I just toured a few labs at UC Davis and I was quite impressed. The professors were knowledgeable, friendly, and excited to talk about their research with me. There were some AWESOME laser systems including several home-built NOPAs, a Terawatt system for high energy nanoresearch, some really interesting work on photochemistry/water oxidation, and what I found to be fascinating (unexpectedly), was a forensics laboratory employing surface science techniques such as laser desorption, UHV apparatuses (FT-MS, FT-RAIRS) and some other cool stuff. I've been accepted at much higher ranked schools, but rankings don't really mean anything in the broader scope. The research was exciting and dynamic, and the university itself is on an upward trend as older professors are being replaced with younger PIs. I'm inching closer and closer toward sending Davis my SIR. You have no idea how happy I am to hear this. Davis would be a great school. I am banking on the fact that my recommender (also known as my boss' boss) knows a lot of people there and works with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm interested in organometallics, and have applied to: Toronto British Columbia MIT Michigan - Ann Arbor Washington - Seattle Actually, I haven't applied to the two Canadian schools yet (Canadian deadlines are generally later). KevinM, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I am curious: where are you applying? From your list, I only applied to Washington. Also applying to a few schools in the northeast but no top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi guys I'm new to the forum. I'm interested in chemical biology, bioorganic, drug design, and carbohydrate chemistry (mostly synthesis). I've applied to UCLA USC UC Davis UCSC UCR Brown Dartmouth WUSTL Arizona Colorado-Denver USC Pharmaceutical Sciences I haven't heard anything yet... but I just finished my apps 3 weeks ago, so I'm not surprised. Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnMarie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 My top schools that I am applying to are: Rockefeller U Vanderbilt U Johns Hopkins WUSTL then I have some fall backs too. I interested in bioinorganic / organometallic and then NMR spec for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucleophilicity Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm visiting 2/18-2/21, but through the IPiB (biochem) program. you? I'm visiting 2/26-2/28 for organic chem. Seeing as how you're in biochem, do you have any interest in the Kiessling Lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectralScatter Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Can someone help me decide what the major differences are between the programs at TSRI (Scripps) and UCSD ? It is really hard to decide which department is best for chemistry / biochemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
