Thanks Eigen, I didn't realize the proposal doesn't necessarily have to be your final dissertation work. You are correct in that I will be doing rotations my first quarter (it is a California school) and will then choose one of the PI's I rotated with at the beginning of the next quarter (which is the end of November I believe). Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try to look into the NIH fellowships a bit more as well. They just have so many funding opportunities listed I have no idea what to look for.

Hi guys. I'm starting my Ph.D. program next month and I will be applying for the NSF fellowship and probably some others too. Does anyone have any experience applying for this fellowship? I'm confused as to what to write for the proposed research essay considering I won't even know which lab I will be working in until after the first semester. Any advice? Also, if anyone knows of any good fellowships for organic chem other than NSF or DOD, please let me know. I checked NIH but their website is way too confusing. Thanks!

I used the Kaplan MCAT organic chem review book to help prepare for the chem GRE. It was definitely helpful for refreshing my memory for common reactions, but overall it doesn't cover much of the material you will find on the GRE. Honestly, I think the only way to effectively prepare is to take the practice exam that ETS sends you and hit the textbooks to brush up on your weaknesses.

Thanks for the info! I hope thats the case.

Has anyone heard from UT Austin recently? I have tried contacting a few people there and gotten no response. Also, their first visitation weekend is coming up this week. Can they really be done sending out offers already?

I'm curious about UT Austin too. Maybe I'll email them this week.
