Hey there, When did you each hear from Northwestern? I am playing the most awful of waiting games right now, as they are my final school... Additionally, do you know when visiting week is? (Accepted: UC Davis, CSU, Georgetown || Rejected: U Washington)

I too would love to know if you've heard from Northwestern. They are the only school I do not have a decision from yet...

In a list that included MIT (couldn't apply b/c I didn't take the chem GRE), the only school that my professor pointed out as "notoriously difficult"/"don't get your hopes up" was UW. ?

Got the same letter today; still waiting to hear from Northwestern.

Just wanted to say that I *still* have not heard from Northwestern or UW, but I've been accepted to Georgetown (hooray!!!) and also Colorado State (not originally listed) since my last post.

The Davis response felt instantaneous. Making me nervous for other schools, especially due to the random "missing" GRE Scores. Still holding out for Georgetown as that's my top choice.

Undergrad Institution: PNW Liberal Arts School Major(s): Chemistry GPA in Major: ~3.65 Overall GPA: 3.77 Position in Class: Don't know... Type of Student: Domestic, male, small town roots GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 161 V: 159 W: 4.0 Chemistry: Didn't take Research Experience: 1 summer working for a professor creating SC XRD curriculum for lab courses, 1 year on senior thesis (organophosphate pesticide degradation) Awards/Honors/Recognitions: ACS Undergraduate Award in Analytical Chemistry, Dean's List Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Teaching assistant for 3 semesters (one of which, TA'd for the inorganic course that I had not taken, but created SC XRD lab work for) Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Presented research (talk) at the Murdock College Science Research Research Conference and (poster) at the ACS meeting this spring. Special Bonus Points: Excellent connections in my proposed field, 2 alma mater recommenders, research in curriculum creation/interest in education Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Attended the American Crystallographic Association summer school and was one of two undergraduates present. Basically a week of post-doc level courses and hands on learning with the best of the best. Applying to Where: UC Davis -- Inorganic Chemistry (Crystallography) Northwestern -- Materials Science and Engineering (Conservation Science) Georgetown -- Inorganic Chemistry (Crystallography) U Washington -- Inorganic/Materials Chemistry I have been accepted to UC Davis!! (Dec. 15) However, UW and NW both show that they have not received my GRE scores and I'm not sure what to do. Also, video for NW??? That field cancelled out after I selected my program... Is it because I applied for the school of engineering instead?
