I didn't apply to MIT or Columbia but was admitted to Northwestern on Jan 5 via phone call followed by an official letter a few hours later on the same day. I'm organic/chem bio.

Had my caltech interview today (chem bio) and they also asked me these exact questions with a few follow up regrading my research.

The portal issue had been resolved btw. Really competitive stipend in my opinion.

chem bio, what about you?

I was starting to think caltech might reject me since I didn't receive an interview invite last week but I just got an invitation for a 10-minute interview. The dates are Jan 13th and Jan 18th.

Oh that's interesting...not sure if the COVID situation would be better or worse by then...but hopefully a lot better...Hopefully they fix this issue soon so we could access stipends/fellowship information

I believe the two visiting weekends are Feb 3-4 (online) and Feb 23-24 (online or hybrid). Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Received an email from grad admission that an update has been posted to the U Chicago portal but I couldn't find how to access the update after logging into my portal. Are you having the same problem?

Does any know how much the stipend is for U Chicago? I've only received an unofficial offer from a PI, no official offer yet.

nope, still waiting for Berkeley, Caltech, and Harvard

I also was given 38k from Yale
