[Fall 2012 Chemistry]

Congrats jonotanVII! Just wondering, when did you hear from UCB? Was it via email, phone? Don't want to lose hope for this school just yet, thanks!

I heard back from them yesterday morning (the 11th) by email. Are you going into organic chemistry too? I think that each division makes its decision at different times.

Thanks Amirhossein B and twb! I don't really have a top choice since I wanna visit the schools first before I decide. And yeah I'm gonna be doing organic synthesis, looking forward to it . How about you guys?

[Fall 2012 Chemistry]

Had to wake up in the wee hours to drive my sister to school, came back and got my acceptance email from MIT! Here are my stats

GPA: cumulative 3.88, major 4.00

GRE: V 154/64%, Q 164/91%, AW 4.5/72%, chem 850/88%

1.5 years of research experience in a synthesis lab, 1 publication (2nd author)

Not really sure about my LORs but probably 2 good ones from different research advisors and 1 ok from a professor

[How much stipend are you offered for Chemistry Fall 2012?]

For MIT, they're offering 2,530/month which turns out to be 30,360. Makes sense since the living cost in Cambridge is really high...
