I am interested in theoretical chemistry and I am having a hard time deciding between Harvard and Northwestern. I visited both schools and they have completely different environments. Any insights on the goods and bads of northwestern and harvard ?

Thank for your help. I am mostly interested in molecular dynamics and structure calculations. Eigen, which schools did you apply to?

Thank you so much Eigen. My adviser recommended me to only apply to top school as reputation matters a lot in graduate work. That is why I don't have any safety schools. But after getting my Chem GRE scores, I feel like I should add some safety schools. Is the Chem GRE score going to affect a lot?

Hello, I am an international student doing an undergrad from a US institution. I am planning to apply for a PhD in computational/ theoretical chemistry. Here are my stats Major: chemistry and math GPA: 3.93 2.5 of research which includes an honors thesis as well. did two summer researches. I think my recommendations will be strong. I did very poorly on my standarized tests. I just received my Chem GRE score today and got only 620 on it, which really sucks and I have no time to retake it. I got 560: V, 780: Q and 4.5 AW in general GRE. I am applying to Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UW- Madison, Northwestern, Princeton, Yale and University of Minnesota. After seeing my Chem GRE score I am thinking of changing my grad school list and applying to lower ranked schools. What should i do?
