Just got rejected from Caltech...

RIP, didn't get an interview. Guess I'm rejected!

Anyone hear back from MIT yet for organic?

RIP

Yeah...it kinda did, oops. Thanks for letting me know! I'm just super stressed because I haven't heard back from anywhere yet, so I kinda jumped the gun a bit there.

All of you guys have such amazing stats... Getting worried I'm going to get rejected from all my schools!

I see. Sad!

Didn't get any phone calls (am abroad) or emails, but this appeared in my portal for Scripps: Is this a good sign?

Congrats!

Still waiting on Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Caltech, and Scripps!

Princeton is also just "submitted" for me. Now I'm worried I got rejected ?

Someone else (God I wish it were me) from my school got accepted to Northwestern for stat mech!

Congrats!

Nice...Scripps was the only "free" school I applied to unfortunately...

I feel lucky that I only applied for 6...10+ sounds terrible! Where did you guys apply?

Made an account because I couldn't bear the anxiety. Applied to 5 schools for orgo and 1 for chemE.
