oh, it showed up now. I think maybe they sent them in batches based on which housing you got. Deadline for mine is the 28th.

Taken from one of the professors on the admissions committee at my undergrad institution (which is top 10 for grad), if you want to do physical/theoretical, you really need an 800 Quantitative to even be considered. I know that's not necessarily what you want to hear, but you may want to retake the test and see if you can improve on that.

Do you know if they've sent all of the housing emails or just the ones for people starting during the summer?

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting the posts I've seen from you recently, but are you planning on applying to specific divisions within programs next year based primarily on how easily you'll find a job afterwards? I can't help but think that that is a good way to ensure you'll be miserable for 5-6 years, if you end up choosing a field that way as opposed to what you actually find interesting and exciting to study.

Anyone going to March 11 at UCLA or March 25-27 at Princeton?

MIT doesn't seem to have send out rejections for inorganic chem. I'm kind of just functioning on the assumption that schools who still haven't told me anything aren't going to accept me.

Just because it's my top choice and I'm super excited. BTW, for people who are still waiting to hear, their visiting days are February 25 (deadline to tell them has passed), March 11th, and April 1st.

I added them to my signature. I'm a domestic student. I'm a girl. I got a publication just in time (it was taken as an advance article in November). I suspect my recommendations were pretty stellar. I didn't start doing research til my junior year, though.

I was accepted by them on the 9th. I'm inorganic materials, I'm not sure if that will make a difference, but I turned in my application on January 14th, so I was surprised to hear back so soon.

Me neither. I suspect that they've finished for organic and not for other branches of chem (I'm inorganic materials)

What if I still haven't heard *anything* from MIT? At this point, I feel like I'm rejected from the last 3 (of 9) schools that I haven't heard from, but I just want closure.
