[Fall 2012 Chemistry]

Some one (international) has been accepted into MIT via phone today... Could he/she please share his/her stats on research experience?

I'm the one I got an e-mail from a faculty (who I wrote on the SOP) that he wants to have an interview with me. We arranged the time and he told me at the end of the interview that I'll soon get an acceptance mail.

I have one year research experience on graphene nanomaterials in Korea (this work was published), another one year research experience on nanocrystals at UC Berkeley, where I attended to as an exchange student.

I'm so delighted that I'm done with the endless waiting tasks!!!

Those who have heard from Caltech, did any of you apply to theoretical chemistry? Any internationals?

I'm the one who posted it as an international student. I'm applying for (experimental) physical chemistry. no idea about theoreticals..
