Thanks a lot, guys, for sharing your thoughts about Scripps!

Tomthegreat and sleechem, are you considering accepting to the CA campus?

Hi everyone!
I'm about to accept an offer from Scripps Research, but I want to ask your opinion about this school before. I just don't understand why so few people (in this forum) applied to that school if it's ranked as one of the top schools in chemistry. For example, why did some of you choose UNC or Purdue over Scripps? Can anyone share their opinion on why they decided not to apply to that school?

I'm planning on accepting the offer from scripps as well! I think you just see less chemists overall applying there since their chem department essentially only has chem bio and organic people, which reduces the # of applicants from other subfields a ton. However, within both chem bio and organic I think Scripps is highly highly regarded and often ranked top 5 in both of those fields!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently debating between a few programs, including the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, and Yale for chemical biology. I am pretty much equally interested in the research and the PIs, and am curious what you all think about these programs from an outside perspective? Thanks!
