hey thanx for the info.....can u give me the list of places u find nice....i have found a couple of places i like till now...will like to have more options before i decide on a place TIA

is first week of august gud enough for reaching there and looking for houses?? I am an international student and can not move there any time sooner

so when are you guys moving to college station, cause I haven't found an apartment yet and was thinking of reaching there early august (my countries student association provides accomodation for s short period) and then look for housing myself....is that advisable?

Decided on Texas A&M for organometallic chemistry sent rejection to CU boulder today! hope someone out there gets a call from them

well i would like to explore the catalysis part..so some of my preferrences would be Bluemel, Hall, Ozerov, Darensbourg..but as i have not visited yet and have been strongly advised against emailing profs before you have actually met them...so i intend to meet these people when i start school....nice to know that u r interested in organometallic too...we should discuss stuff soon

I have some professors in mind...specially in the organometallic chem division. The tests they make us take are only to decide whether we are eligible to take grad level courses in those fields and doesnt matter if you fail them. it just means u wont be allowed to take a grad course in that

I am also going to chemistry department for a PhD!!

So who all here are going to come to Texas A&M then?

well I have full tuition+other fees waiver plus a monthly stipend...that should do it right?

Not too great GPA (2.92) But i think the positives that helped me get fully funded admits to 2 out of the 3 schools were: My GRE score quant:800 verbal 700 AW 4.0 My subj GRE score 820/1000 Great letters of recommendation from three professors I did projects with. All my projects were in the same area as I applied to...so that must have helped a lot

the offer letter should be evident for financial support right?

thnx for the help!! I was thinking of the new apartments only!! will try and pre lease

Well since I am moving from India...i was thinking that maybe for the first year or atleast the first semester, i will live in university housing and then look for off campus when i have a better idea of the city...is that advisable?? are the university apartments good?

the grad program at boulder is really gud if you are interested in BioChem. other sections are also above average....
