Yeah, I'll be "visiting" (undergrad here). What type of chemistry are you interested in?

200 admitted in chemistry?? This can't be true.

Do you think all the Caltech, MIT, and Scripps interviews/acceptances are out? I'm getting really anxious and stressed, and kind of wish they would send rejections out already...

Ouch. Getting ready for that Princeton rejection

I put my application the day it was due and got the acceptance two days after. I had been in contact with 2 profs.

I got one of my recommenders a CD because I know he's musical. I'll be getting another a book or a bottle of wine... I don't usually attach notes because I see them in person regularly, but when I give them the gift, I tell them I really appreciate that they go out of their way to write recommendations for me and thanks for being cool people.

Yeah some early acceptances have been sent out.
