I wrote to both POI's, one of them replied. Thanks so much, for personal reasons I want to be in SoCal. I'm declining offers from Wisconsin Madison, UChicago, Stony Brook, John Hopkins and UDavis. If anyone's on these waitlists, I hope you get my spot. Cheers.

Waitlisted at UCLA, if you're not planning to go, please decline.

It'll go on till April 1, I called them up yesterday.

They do international admissions later, but "in the coming weeks", and that was when I wrote to them last week. Good luck!

That's reassuring on some levels! Thanks for the info.

Congrats!! That's awesome news. I'm still waiting to hear back from Caltech and UCLA. I guess they do international applicants later. Did you have an interview with Caltech, btw?

I dont, it was last Wednesday. They said I could expect a letter in a week. Good luck!

That was dumb of them. Its a whole different story for international applicants, so don't lose hope yet!

I got an email for an interview on Jan 29 for Feb 3, which apparently was just a formality at that point. Got another email of confirmation today, saying the official offer should be here in a day or two. PChem, btw. Good luck, and hope this helps.

Oh bless you! Thanks so much for the information. Do you know when they'll send out the letters? I need to accept/reject an offer from a really awesome place before the Feb 3. But again, thanks so much for the info.

Ooops, sorry! I was ranting out Any news of Caltech? Anyone?

Same here. Did they accept ANY application? jeez.

Accepted at Scripps!!! yay !!! Happy as fuck.

Congrats! How much, btw?
