Very professional.
did anyone screenshot this / remember what it said? It's deleted now, but I'm just curious.

Same here.

I'll be attending Harvard as a Ph.D. student in the fall, and I'm a bit lost when it comes to finding apartments. I know that most of the leases start on September 1st, but my program requires us to be in the area for orientation on August 23rd. Because of a job commitment this summer, I won't be able to move until around August 15th, and I'd rather not pay for all of August if possible (though I could if necessary). I also have seen that August 1st leases aren't nearly as common as September 1st ones, which would make me even more hesitant to do that since I don't want to be living somewhere for a year just because it was one of the few okay options available.
Any advice? Would trying to do Airbnb or something from August 15th - September 1st even be worth it? Would that even work out well in terms of actually moving (I plan on buying most of my stuff other than clothes once I'm there since I don't have all that much non-clothing stuff to begin with).

Hi, I am in the same boat as a few people it seems - I still have not received an update email and have checked all my spam folders etc. I also did not receive the January email so I am concerned that something went wrong with my application. I have emailed STI multiple times and have yet to hear back. When I called about a week and a half ago they said they were still making decisions and would be sending out the remaining emails in the next couple of days...so who knows what's going on. It sounds like they are adjusting to the new system. We'll see! Best of luck to everyone.
I'm in the exact same situation! I emailed twice, heard nothing back either time, and when I called the woman who answered sounded very annoyed and simply told me that the decisions were still being made. Still don't understand why I wouldn't have gotten the updated graduate education information email though, so I don't think I'm still being considered at this point :/

Does anyone know/seen any indication of whether Harvard is still reviewing applicants (Chemistry and Chemical Biology program)? Seems like a few people got in this week, but their website says they announce decisions in February.
Wondering the same thing! It seems like last year the four people who posted their acceptances on the Results page all heard back on the same day. Prior years seemed to be slightly more spread out though?

Does anyone have an offer from Caltech/Harvard for Organic Chemistry or know anymore information about the progress of their Organic Chemistry admissions?
According to the Results page (if you search "Harvard Chemistry"), the acceptances for Harvard went out like January 25/26 so I'm assuming it'll be similar this year. As for Caltech I'm not sure.

Does anyone know for MIT and Stanford what the likelihood of being accepted after the interview is?

Just got into UC Berkeley for Organic! Cannot believe it!
The e-mail says "By this time, you should have been contacted by a member of Chemistry's admission's committee" but this has not happened haha. Should I e-mail the person back saying this hasn't happened? Or is there no point?
I got the same email and also haven't been contacted by a member of Chemistry's admissions committee - I feel like replying might not be worth it but I'm unsure.
-
Does anyone who has received an acceptance from Berkeley know when the visit weekend dates are? I got the acceptance notification via email from the Graduate Division, but they didn't include any information about visit weekend / financial package and whatnot.
