Oh, so it's supposed to be free? I didn't know that. haha. Thanks!

I was wondering where new students buy their lab coats. Is it issued by the school or do you buy it online? Obviously I would want to buy a new lab coat for when I start research in the summer. Do you have any suggestions about the material, etc.?
This blog seems informative: http://blog.chembark.com/2010/09/21/buying-a-lab-coat/
But I wanted to know what you guys think.
-
Yeah, pretty much had the same experience. The only difference was I was the one making all the noise (my keyboard was so noisy!).
-
I think it depends on the school. One school I applied to, I sent my IELTS test score in August and apparently you need to have an online application first so that they can track it. I ended up resending it in December.
-
e-mail the schools/programs directly.
-
I'm convinced. I'm buying one later.

I am starting research first week of July, and I've also made housing arrangements. They only started processing my I-20 last week! *panic mode on*
-
60% (3 out of 5 PhD programs)
Last year obviously it was 0%, but that was for MS Programs.

yup, same here! no word yet about the I-20. I keep on asking them and they always say it's too early. I'm actually leaving by first week of August because I still have English classes for International TAs. I'll just trust that they know what their doing; I've been too stressed panicking about this for days!
-
Haha, I didn't realize I repeated what Andsowego said.

competely off topic (I apologize) but this thread title was cut off on the front page to say "How do you get over bad tea" and I came in wanting to know more!
ME TOO! I love tea!
OnT:
In my case, I experiment on different teaching styles for every class and see where they respond best. If I have a bad teaching day now, I'll try a different approach the next time.

I was studying French last year while reviewing GRE vocabulary words. Somehow, this was the only word that I remembered, LOL.

Although I'm kind of worried about the housing situation since I still haven't heard anything from the admissions officer. I can't believe I'll be leaving for Baltimore in a few months!
-
Yeah I agree with SPDFG, maybe they're just waiting for the national deadline to finalize all the offers. I'm hoping that I'll hear something in a few days!

I plan to update it when I'm actually there, enrolled. I'm kind of superstitious, LOL. Some of my friends have updated their education info as soon a they're accepted, though.

Zotero!

In my experience, if your end goal is a PhD then why not apply directly for one after your undergrad? I think it's all a matter of luck and timing. Last year I applied to 3 MS programs with 0 acceptances. This year I applied to 4 PhD programs and got 3 acceptances. The only thing that changed in that 1 year is an additional year of teaching experience.

-
I accepted an offer exactly one month ago and the admissions officer told me he/she will get back to me in a week or so. I haven't heard from him/her ever since. What do I do now? I'm kind of freaking out because I don't know what to do next. I've talked to a few grad students about housing but I feel like nothing is really final until I get the I-20 form (I'm international, btw).

April 15 is just around the corner so I'm bumping this up.
Chem GRE's and Applying Early???

A quick e-mail to the schools with early deadlines won't hurt.
