Yeah I'm not too down about it. I'm still riding an emotional high from Berkeley. Still waiting on the official email from them though, so a very small part of me is convinced that sent me the wrong thing lol.

Unsurprisingly, it's a rejection from MIT.

Got an unofficial email on Saturday. Visit days are the 4th, 11th, and 18th (of March).

"The checking of all the records and official response of the graduate school takes a few weeks, but this is just a formality in your case" this is the relevant part of the email! There's definitely still hope. I thought I was getting denied because I hadn't heard back yet.

I am materials and the email was from Kristie Boering, though the tone of the email implied they aren't finished making decisions.

Just got into Berkeley!

rejection from Harvard, no surprise there.

I applied to Caltech for Material Science and just got invited to their visit day.

Got into Northwestern

Congrats Kaffee! I loved the summer I spent at Northwestern, really hoping to hear from them soon. Did they say when official information would come out? I've been refreshing the admissions tracking page fairly regularly.

Oh well I don't have the slightest idea. It wouldn't surprise me though.

I have no idea. I always thought interviews were more common in Biology programs and/or for international applicants. Did you get an interview at MIT? I applied and haven't heard anything since I submitted my application.

I haven't heard anything, but I also don't really think that I will get in because I didn't send them my Chem GRE scores. Since the scores were optional and I didn't do so hot it didn't make sense for me to pay and send them when they wouldn't help my application.

I've gotten an unofficial acceptance from a POI at UCLA!

I just took the GRE and got a 161 V and 162 Q. Are these scores considered good given the rest of my profile?
