Hi all, I'm probably not the only person in this boat so I wanted to share this to hopefully put some minds to ease.

I was asked to leave with a masters degree in my last PhD program in chemistry (against my PI's wishes, no less). Applying this current cycle I was of course worried that no other department would want to take me knowing this. But I just want to make it known that I got an accepted to another chemistry PhD program today. If you haven't heard back from your schools yet, I'm sorry and just want to acknowledge that I know how horrible that feels. However, I hope it gives you hope to know that there are opportunities out there!

Same situation but not that lucky...

Leave PhD program in 2019 with a master's degree and no publication, organic division, international applicant in the US

Rejection from Emory (1/7), Penn State (1/23) and Mich (2/3). No interviews, no offers for now.

Still waiting for UCSD, Ohio State, etc.

Ohio State's visiting weekend seems to be last weekend according to one of PIs' twitter

Good luck to you guys all
