  1. I got my acceptance from Rochester on 01/28
  2. Is anybody else visiting UCLA (3/12-3/14) or UFlorida (3/26-3/28)?
  3. Rejected from UCI and OSU today To be honest, I am really disappointed about UCI
  4. I applied for the organic division. Sorry if it seems early(?). I do not know how they work, I was just happy and posting my results. Sorry
  5. Thank you! I got an email with the acceptance and an attachment with all the information. They also had a link to a form to sign up for the visitation weekend and whatnot. When I login to check, it says the same thing though so I don't really know how that works lol.
  6. I just got an acceptance from UCLA and am very excited! Congratulations to everyone else as well, it seems like there are so many people getting into great schools!
  7. thank you guys for all your insight its really helpful and gives me some hope
  8. also, i make less than most stipends anyways lol
  9. I appreciate the feedback. I was thinking the work LOR would attest to my work ethic, but I guess it is not a great idea. The reason i work so much is because my family moved away and I live by myself (the world is expensive). I do not have any debt that any other college student would not have. I explained this in my SOP, do you think that would help in not having them think negatively about me? I really appreciate the insight though, thank you.
  10. hey thanks so much for your advice! unfortunately, my job is managing a local deli/convenience store. nothing related to chemistry at all but i will definately keep everything you said in mind. i really appreciate the help
  11. thank you so much, i appreciate your thoughts
  12. Hey everybody, I have searched through the threads for a while and could not find anything similar to my situation, so I figured I would ask for any insight. I am going to be applying to graduate schools this year (for Fall 2015) and have been worrying a lot about my lack of research experience. I am a non-traditional student and have been working 40+ hours a week since starting college. Unfortunately, this did not allow me the time to pursue research opportunities thus far. I have started working on a research project with a professor at my school over the summer and plan to continue until I graduate (Spring 2015) but I am worried it is too little too late. Just for background, it is an organic synthesis project and I wish to attend graduate school for organic chemistry. I explained my situation in my SOP, and I am getting LOR from my research advisor, the head of the chemistry department, another organic professor, and the assistant manager at my job (I've been there 11 years and known the manager for 9). They all know me very well and I believe will write great letters. I am taking the general GRE this weekend and the chemistry GRE in october. I have been studying all summer, and I believe I will do well. My overall/major GPA is 4.0. If I do well on the GRE's, is there any chance I could get into a good school? I would really like to go to UCI, and was also going to pick one from top 10, one from top 20, etc... If anybody has any advice I would be so grateful. I just do not want to waste the time preparing applications if it is not practical. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
