chem2021

I was told the waitlist is short but I’m getting sick of waiting lol

Anyone have yet to hear from Vanderbilt lol

Mine just says “not recommended” so I assume that means I’m not honorable mention too lol. Reviews were good though I’m glad I know

Wait did they not email results??

I feel like as soon as they saw I wasn’t applying from a big school it was over lol

Anyone hear anything yet?

Is anyone planning on rejecting their Vanderbilt offer? I’m waitlisted and wondering if there is any hope of getting off it

I am also waiting and have no idea when we will hear back

Same I hope their waitlist is short for ochem !

I’m pretty sure with this interview you’re basically in if you get one. Like mine only lasted 15min and the prof just asked if I had any questions about the department and why I was interested in BU. And then asked my opinion on the virtual visit weekend and how it’s set up lol. So there is a solid chance you’re going to be accepted !

Wait yay that’s awesome. There is gonna be a visit on March 26th I think bc people have too many conflicts next weekend and that’s the one I’m going to. Hope to see you there!!

Anyone else hear nothing from duke still?

The waiting is driving me insane lol and I don’t want to email and ruin my chances somehow but I’m so impatient. And oh yeah you should hear soon. hopefully they send them out like Friday or Monday.

Omg that’s exactly my situation with UNC and duke it’s stressful and sucks not knowIng if you’re going to be far away or not. The visit weekend is the 12-13th but they are hosting other days if students can’t make it/if students are accepted past that date. I hope you hear back soon!

I got my official offer today and it was a mix of teaching and research fellowships so maybe that’s why I heard a week or so sooner bc it wasn’t just a teaching one. I’m sure you’ll hear next week probably it seems like they are way behind

Yeah I think it would be and rejects have already started being sent so I feel like you’d have to hear for an interview at least. And you’re basically in once you get the interview they are just making sure you are not an academic robot and can talk like a person lol

I got interviewed at the end of January but I think the organic prof that interviewed me was ahead of the others and getting stuff done quickly. I also got that email so I feel like you’ll probably be contacted by the end of this week maybe. Idk so many schools are disorganized this year I wouldn’t worry too much especially since you’ve been in contact with faculty

Have you interviewed with them? I got accepted last Monday but haven’t gotten my official offer letter from the dean yet

If anyone else is waiting like me, Vanderbilt just emailed me back and said that results should be sent within the next two weeks

I’m only assuming bc it seems like a lot of rejections went out already according to the grad student I talked to. I thought about emailing but I’m gonna wait a little longer before I do that

I applied to 10 also and I am waitlisted at duke I think too. But yeah crossing my fingers both of us are high on those lists !!

I guess there were a bunch of people not responding to the emails for it. Hopefully some of them turn down the offer sooner rather than later if they know they aren’t going to accept

From what I understand I think we are waitlisted. I know a Chem grad student there and a bunch of ochem rejections went out already. We are probably waiting for students to start rejecting the offer to find out if we got in or if we are finally rejected. The first visit weekend was this weekend so hopefully we hear soon

Has anyone heard from Vanderbilt yet? Still have heard nothing and I’m super impatient lol

Yeah it’s very weird I wonder if it was sent out one day early lol and same but now I wanna know if I’m rejected or not
