    Yale

    Hi folks, I shall be heading to Yale next fall for a Chemistry PhD. Nice to meet all of you.
  2. I was personally asked by one of my programs several times by several different professors. Though this may not be universally true, if they have already accepted you, they will likely try to convince you of the superiority of their school over your other competing choices. I am not sure how it can hurt you in any way to answer such a request.
  3. Hi guys. I have been following this site a lot lately, but have finally decided to post, seeing as I could use some advice. In Fall 2011, I will be entering a PhD program in synthetic organic chemistry. I have heard back from several schools but am having a lot of difficulty deciding between UIUC and Yale. Yale is technically more renowned and closer to home. However, all of the professors I am seeking to work with are new. They have recently joined the institution, have not yet obtained tenure and likely have limited experience managing a lab group. UIUC has, in my opinion, more experienced professors working in fields closer to my interests. I have also been personally contacted by a professor I would love to work with. Despite UIUC's ranking as a top chemistry school, my parents are not convinced it is the better option over Yale. Any input would be very much appreciated.
