Hello! I've heard back from a few schools so I figured I'd post here.

I spent one of my summers doing research in that lab and another in one of the synthetic organic groups at UC Berkeley. I also did a semester of orgo research in a lab at my study abroad university.Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Merit scholarship/2 year research fellowship from my school, ACS Inorganic Undergrad Award, POLYED Organic Undergrad Award, CRC Press Freshman Gen Chem AwardPertinent Activities or Jobs: TA for Orgo I and II labs for two semesters.Publications: None (professors at my school don't publish much since we're a little school without grad students)
Presentations: Just poster or oral presentations at my school and the other schools where I've done research. My school has an annual undergrad research conference-type thing and I've presented at that twice. No conferences. Special Bonus Points: Woman in STEM? (don't actually know if that counts as a bonus point)Applying to Where:
I am interested in natural product total synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
Accepted to UT Austin and Pitt (emails from admissions people a couple weeks ago) and UC Berkeley (got a phone call this evening from the professor I did summer research with and want to work with again for grad school)
Still waiting to hear from UPenn, Columbia, UNC, MIT, Stanford, and Georgia Tech.
