Has anyone heard anything from Scripps? Seems like there’s only 1 acceptance in the result page.
Surprisingly Harvard has been late with their rejection this year...oh well...
Scripps finished sending out interviews mid Jan, so idk if that acceptance is real or not since interview starts in late Feb

Has anyone heard from Yale in January?
The result section only shows some early acceptances in late December.
They told me they have finished sending out acceptance on 1/25

Worries: I'm an unconventional applicant. I have a sub 3.0 undergrad GPA but a 4.0 master's (non-thesis) GPA. I also have two years of solid industry experience in my field (I don't have pubs yet but I do have trade secrets?♀️). I did not apply to any Ivy league schools and only 1 "highly selective" school, but I'm still afraid my atrocious undergrad GPA will prevent me from getting admitted anywhere. There are legitimate circumstances that caused it, which I do briefly mention in my SOPs, but I still don't know if that will cut it.
Excitement: I'm coauthoring my first paper at my job right now and excited to graduate with my master's in may!
You should be fine. They mostly care about GPA of your last institute. Did you hear from anywhere yet? Good luck!

I had skype calls with few professors which led to a few acceptances. They mainly asked why I am interested in their program, and why do you want to pursue PhD. They also discuss about future goal of their research since it is usually not on their website. All I did was making sure I understood their research thoroughly, be able to discuss about mine, as well as understanding about the program. You can ask about their research project, how do they operate their lab, the environment in lab, or funding, rotation required in the program.
I wore a shirt, so just business casual. Make sure you have steady wifi, no disturbance. Be yourself and excited about the science. You will be fine. Good luck!
For the record: I'm chem PhD applicant this cycle

Applied to 7, focusing on analytical chemistry. International student enrolling in a master program in the US now. I had some positive contacts with the professors in the schools I applied, but after I told them I submitted the applications I haven't got any reply. Very worried...always checking email.
I think they are just very busy during these times! hope it work out well

Although I have lost hope entirely on finding a romantic partner (and not because of my age, but rather because of the life choices I have made), today was a good day because I did not cry once.
I hope you will find a good partner on your next journey in PhD school
