Chemisto

My experience says that whole process is very random(atleast for intls)...so apply to as many schools as you can afford to. Some of the schools I thought were match-I got rejected! Some of the schools I thought were reach-I got accepted into! Getting into some top schools and being rejected by much lower ranked does not make sense esp when I hardly changed any part of my app. I really don't know what Adcoms decide on! And I agree with @bhilaianupam . Strong academics will get you into good places even if your research profile is not so great. But the key is to have an overall good profile.

Seems many univ celebrated "Rejection day" yday..

Thanks...I hope I also de get a reply soon....with 2 Nobel laureates in their faculty now, they certainly are a very strong dept!

Hi If u dnt mind telling, when did u v interview from USC?

Has been a quiet Friday!

I also applied in the same division and they had replied couple of weeks ago that the material chem adcom was on their second round of decisions....As somebody mentioned earlier, they notify as soon as the adcom makes final decision....

Yeah...any info will be appreciated!! Silence for past 10 weeks...

And here I have a dozen "official" decisions to come out yet..

I think it varies by state and your nationality. Different country students pay different amount of taxes due to treaties with US govt.

This is what they replied on last Thursday that a certain sub "committee is on their second round of decisions at this point" I v not seen any Boulder admissions in results lately...

^^^ That is also obvious since everone has this in their account!

Similar emotions here. Application process followed by couple of months waits has been grueling .Hope it ends today!

Yes Southern California! South Carolina uses "SC" Their email was even more confusing when I asked the same question "Please know that you should be able check your application by using the 4 digit application number that you were given" The application number is 5 digit and not 4...:/

Anyone who has applied to USC, can we online track the progress of application? The e-mail on submission of application said "As you may have gathered from our website, the site allows you to track the status of your application."

I did but being an intl i thnk ll get a reply after 24th.
