Well, as an undergrad, I will cry if it's in May

Especially since they seem done with results for with the other divisions of chem... I feel you

MIT inorg profs pls put me out of my misery already I have other schools to go to now :')

My interview was so awkward that I cannot imagine being accepted, so consider me rejected, might as well. My POI specifically emphasized the parts of her research that did not match mine. I guess it's my mistake for writing about the parts of her research that I liked? Never mind that I had two other POI who my current works matches great with :')

Do you know if those accepted were all emailed by their POI that interviewed them? And was each person interviewed by their POI? I was, but that's all I know

You never know. Maybe you're in the second wave if enough people turn MIT down. Wait in pain with me for our reject letters

Ah good. I'm not dead yet. Inorg hours~ I'm going to be so stressed sleeping tonight. I have a feeling if I don't hear tomorrow, I'm dead tho

I see that gradcafe post too lmao.... too bad my POI probably distain me after that interview

Thank you guys!

Elaborate on hard lol please I beg you. Mine is in the next few days, I hope they don't ask me to rattle off boiling points or draw an MO diagram.

Lmao I had no follow up questions either. God I talked too much about my projects and probably too fast. Same questions as above tho (inorg). edit: I'm still mentally melting, I need to tell someone that

Someone please confirm with me that Stanford is done sending out interviews so I can mark myself rejected and forget about them lmao

edit: Jk maybe not, all the interview slots aren't all filled.

I'm going to be a robot. Also guess what. MiT just sent out interview invites. 15 mins, talk about your goals, and I'm ???? oh god okay. edit: talked to a caltech phd, it's supposed to be chill, so we should both relax some

Inorganic! I don't know what these 10 mins will show....lol

I got an interview from Caltech and I'm scared lol

I just got in today for inorganic! I'm excited lol

Spicy. I'll take it lol

Why does it seem like the chem bio profs procrastinate less and read their apps before the break.... ;-; Congrats btw~

Curious, what is your field? Bppy as your username makes me think inorg

Got into UT Austin and UIUC~

And I just got in

No single typo will get you rejected, unless the typo is writing "lmao I actually don't want to go here at all." at the end. Worry less! I've reached the point of having a job lined up for when I don't get in anywhere.

Maybe if they have something they don't understand on your application they'll ask you. Or an elevator pitch about your research, or the classic Why Stanford? Or a quiz on the profs you wrote down. Or random quick maths question. How many carbons are in a benzene? What makes you stand out from other applicants? Tell us a original research proposal on the spot. Where will your area of chemistry be in 25 years? Will you be employed after finishing here and if so, where? Or are you secretly here for a $120 masters degree? Or maybe you'll log in and they'll read out every typo from your application and then laugh at you for wasting $120 for the remaining minute. I'm memeing. Why did they have to send that email and scare me like this. Oh well I'm fully ready to be rejected from Stanford anyways lolol

Too late I just applied hahahaha......
