In rolling admissions, the committee picks the first, say 100 applications, and then decides, then moves onto next 100 keeping some they were on the fence about. I applied pretty much applied to all my places week before December 15. In medical school decisions, yes, applying late is a disadvantage, but I can't comment on Chemistry ones. If you haven't heard back, call them and ask when you will know. But you should know before end of February if you got in or not. Never hurts to call.

If you're asking me, then American citizen.

Um...for numbers, which I don't think are that crucial, GRE: 800 Math, 540 Verbal, 5.0 Writing, GRE Chemistry: 870, Overall GPA: 3.6, Concentration GPA: ~3.85. For research, I've been doing Scientific research for the past five years. First year (school) was biological, next three (school) were physical chemistry (first author publication, patent, copyright), and now I work in a company doing organic chemistry research and drug development. I went to a school of moderate reputation, but one that is well known. But I think I have four killer recommendation letters though. If you didn't get word yet, don't worry about it. Most of these are rolling, and my view on all this is, if you don't get in, they're the ones missing out on someone fantastic.

Actually, yeah, I'm curious about Berkeley too. I got into my first choice, MIT, but I just want to see for closure reasons. Could everyone please post how they heard from these schools? Here is my yuster profile: http://www.yuster.com/school/profile/ishyesh
