fancyfeast, i haven't got that feel from berkley. I got a call from a PI i had listed on my SOP (who pretty clearly had just given my app materials the most perfunctory of glances), and then a formal acceptance email but other than that no contact, although im sure any number of factors might affect that.
1. the March 27-29 weekend.
2. Pros:
- very strong program
-heard great things about the city, and location in general (i know many people will say that the location doesnt matter because you'll be living in the lab, but i can't really bring myself to live somewhere i hate none the less)
-some very interesting work going on in my field there (physical/analytical chem)
Cons:
-i must agree with ghostar that everything seems huge (particularly coming from an undergrad with about 3000 students [9 chem majors in my year]) but i am sure i will get a better feel for this when i visit
hey guy, this question falls into the "should i be worried", "what are my chances" type category
i got a 3.0 (15%) on the analytical writing for the GRE
my verbal and quantitative where both in the 90s percentile wise
i have a strong GPA (3.86 from small liberal arts college) good research expereince, and should be getting good LORs, should i worry about my low AW score?
