I am thinking about going to the University of Washington for my PhD in Chemistry and was wondering if anyone had any insight on what they think about the program/seattle area in general?
for reference, i am planning on joining the chem bio track
Their Inorganic Program is spectacular but Seattle is very expensive to live and it is a great university overall. But their investment in analytical and inorganic is far superb. I do not know about chem bio.

I've had an unusual experience regarding my application to Boston University for their chemistry PhD program. I did not receive any information about the status of my application till mid February, when a PI of my interest contacted me asking for a Skype interview. They never followed up on my reply though, even after a reminder, and so I never had that Skype interview. Then at the end of February I got an email from the grad office saying I was on a small waitlist, stating that they could only make a limited number of initial offers and that they didn't have space for me in that initial round, chatrooms hence the waitlist. I responded to that waitlist email basically saying thank you and that I look forward to the result.omegle
So my three questions:
1) Is it worrying that the PI never had the Skype call?
1) Is the waitlist email a standard boilerplate response?
2) What would my chances be of getting through the waitlist? BU is very high up on my priority list of universities.
3) Is there anything else I should do, or just wait till the 15 April deadline and see what happens?
Btw, I'm an international student, if that would be of any relevance.
Most of the time, it can mean a waitlist. But I would wait until April 15th to have an idea on who accepted you and denied you.

If I still haven't heard back from schools at this point (UIUC, UF, GTech) should I just assume it is a rejection? I want to accept an offer so I can begin looking for housing but I'm still "awaiting decision" to my top choice.
Most likely yes I wait until April 10th so you know exactly what is up

I have question for PhD in person interview. Does those event means that you are likely to be accepted. They are paying for it all expense and I have no idea what are the odds of me getting in that institution.
