I’m not PChem, but I sent them some updated materials and they accepted them and told me that applications are still under review. So there is still hope!
Yeah, I really wish they just sent any updates out at this point. Based on last year's cycle it seems they inform you in late March, which I feel is kind of messed up. UCLA was my top choice over any school, but it is what it is! Just work hard wherever you do end up!
Got an email from Director of Grad Studies. Needed official transcripts, sent them, and then got an email back later saying I was accepted. Official letter will be coming sometime in February. Hope you hear back soon too!
Someone on reddit mentioned that the date for selecting a visitation date has passed for UCLA, which I think means they probably sent out all the offers already. Was really hoping for UCLA too, but it was a reach for me.
Very nice, congrats! UCLA is my top choice and I’m going for organic as well, specifically organometallics. I hope I get an offer, but I fear I might not be a strong enough applicant.
