Still receiving? I thought deadline was December 22. Anyway, so it's okay that I haven't heard anything yet?

Does anyone know if Berkeley has sent out all the acceptances already?

Thank you! I applied to 8 schools actually: Purdue (my alma mater), UC Berkeley, U of Chicago, Northwestern, U of Arizona Tucson, U of Colorado at Boulder, TAMU and UT Austin. I'm really interested only in Berkeley, Chicago, Northwestern and Austin though. When I called, the lady just told me the dates and I didn't want to get annoying and ask if they made the decision regarding my application already. My Berkeley POI said that he is interested in me a lot, but it was in November, and I never really talked to him again - he is extremely busy professor. I'm sure you'll get acceptances. I know, Purdue started releasing their decisions on Dec 15, and I got mine only yesterday. Same with several other schools - I've seen the acceptances in the Results Search, but got mine only recently. I don't what which order they are considering the applications, so I'm sure yours are still in the process. I understand your nervousness though, it is kind of a scary waiting period. Please let me know if there are great news for you soon All the hopes are sent your way!

Got in to all schools except for one I applied to - Berkeley. Called today to ask about visit weekends to plan around and have my weekend free for them. Is that okay it is taking so long for the decision to come? I'm getting kinda nervous.

Hey I have similar stats to yours, and I'm also international but got my BS from Purdue. Don't get disappointed or whatever in your stats - I got into 3 top institutions with no problems, and two more less highly ranked; if you get BS in the US, you are considered as a domestic student anyway, so don't worry about being international. Good luck!

same question and situation; I was asking current graduate students, they said to better not email and rush, but I still really want to write.

Dear fellow chemists! I need your feedback I'm an international student from Uzbeksistan, but I am obtaining by BS at Purdue graduating this Spring. Here are my stats: GPA: 3.76, Major GPA: 3.89, GRE: Verbal - 148, Quant - 160, AW - 4.5, Chemistry - 730. 4 amazing LORs, 3 years of research experience in physical and computational chemistry (2 research groups simultaniously), 2 years of teaching in the helproom, one summer internship in Germany at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, several poster presentations, one publication, mentor in Women in Science. Applied to: Purdue, UC Berkeley, U of T Austin, TAMU, U of Arizona, U of Chicago, Northwestern, U of Colorado Boulder Accepted to: U of T at Austin, Northwestern, U of Chicago, TAMU and U of Arizona. My top choice is Berkeley, and I still haven't heard anything yet. Do you think there is a chance? Also, for those who got into Berkeley - when are the visiting weekends? Thank you very much! I appreciate your input!
