I'm leaning towards Michigan. When I visited their department, the faculty seemed very down to earth as well as having really great research and funding. I didn't get to spend as much time with the faculty at UCLA, however they were great as well. When I emailed U Minn about the waitlist, the lady told me that they have 29 people on the waitlist and they do not rank/tier them. I guess when the rejections come in, they go back to the pile and find a few more to send invites to. Hopefully we get in!

Will they possibly let you know after the deadline of April 15th?

Hi there, I got wait listed there as well on 3/11. I'm in the same boat. I emailed them today about position on the wait list but they have not responded yet. Best of luck to you!

Another update: Accepted at Davis and wait listed at U Minn Applied to: Minnesota [Waitlisted 3/11] Wisconsin [Rejected 2/11] U Michigan [Accepted 1/30 w/ aid] UCLA [Accepted 1/30 w/aid] UC Davis [Accepted 2/28 w/aid] Northwestern [Waiting] University of Colorado [Rejected 2/26] About me: Colorado State University, 3.8 GPA, 3 summer internships at LANL, 1 year chemical lab research experience (no papers), vice president Tau Beta Pi on campus, GRE: 164Q, 156V, 4.0W

Another update: Rejection from CU Boulder I really thought I would get into this program because it really fits with the research I have been doing, and I have even analyzed samples for my research from some of their groups. I think it's considered less 'prestigious' than other schools I have gotten into as well. I guess it's impossible to predict where you get into.
