  1. I agree with mad science choose the person that you could see yourself working hard with, but still enjoying yourself. I'm not sure your exact interests, but uw is doing some awesome work and has been generating quite a buzz in some of the protein computational work. Also remember that on your Sunday off, hopefully you allow yourself/are allowed to take it off, you want to do something fun and take your mind off work. So make sure where you choose has activities that you can see yourself getting involved in. They all are good schools, and you are in a great situation to have to choose between them.
  2. It's awesome everyone's so pumped. I can't wait to read your future publications!
  3. UCLA!!! I'm moving from one coast to the other!
  4. I think the your chances are decent, the best thing you could do is contact a faculty member and start some dialogue about their research. Don't mention the wait list though, because they may view it as trying to use them. Good luck!
  5. I'm down for visiting that Belgian brewery they talked about in the brochure after hours.
  6. So who all will be at Colorado State in a week?! Getting pumped!!
  7. I don't think it's bad, they're just giving you their estimates on when you should hear back. Thanks for the news though I applied there as well.
  8. Is the chemistry department split so you can't switch? Is this a usual thing?
  9. Hi, I have a friend who is looking into grad school for sports psychology, but does not know of many places that offer that program. I was wondering if anybody hear knows of any? Thank you for any help!
  10. I just meant i was hoping 20 admitted students from the chem department show up. I'd rather room with a chem student. Faraday you can stay on your parents health insurance until you're 26, so you may want to talk to them about that.
  11. I'm hoping that maybe 20 people show up. If I end up accepting their offer I'd like to try rooming with another person in the chem program.
  12. To whomever just got into UNC congrats and remember to put in a good word for me!
  13. I think you have a good chance if I got in. My gpa and gre's weren't great, but I have a ton of research experience. I applied December 18th and got in on January 18th. I have a friend that goes to csu and he had nothing but good things to say about Wood and Ferreira. I have not asked about Rovis, Williams, or Shi though.
  14. Congrats on getting two acceptances in one day! My friend who attended Irvine spoke very highly of Santa Barbara's program.
  15. Faraday, http://graduate-school.phds.org/university/colostate/program/ranking/chemistry/3673 This link confirms the health insurance policy, I have also seen it on another website that I can't recall right now, but it said that you can buy health insurance thorugh the school for $740 or $940
  16. Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have a chance of getting into these schools. I'm sorry this probably gets pretty annoying, but I'm so nervous and would like some people's opinions. I'm applying to: NC State, Vanderbilt, Colorado State, Indiana, UCLA, UCSB, UC-Irvine, and UNC as the dream school. My GRE scores are v:154 q:157 and w:4.0 and my gpa is 3.27 in chem and cumulative, but I have two semesters of undergraduate research, and two summers working at a government lab full time (which got me a co-author on a publication). My letters of recommendations should all be really good as I got them from my boss at work (300+ publications), my organic professor that I do research with, and an organic professor whom is my advisor. I have taken every single chem course that was available to me at my school and I genuinely love chemistry and would like to teach it. I have contacted professors at all the schools and told them I was interested in their research and asked if they had spots open. I have done Cross-Country and track all four years of undergrad and that takes up at least 21 hours a week and am regretting doing it a little now after looking at some of these gpa's, because you guys all seem awesome. If anyone on here is on a admissions committee would you mind telling me how athletics look on a resume on a applying undergrad? Thank you for any help and I wish everyone the best of luck!
