Other institutions you've applied to? Very worried...
Quantum Buckyball replied to MONKEYMAN's topic in Chemistry Forum
Yes it could, my PI is on the admission committee and they only makes offer to applicants who are "more" likely to attend our program. -
You'll be okay because you are in the synthetic methodologies field, it's hard to produce papers.

just finished watching American Horror Story season 1 :-D

This is true, most incomplete applications won't be reviewed by the admission committee, at least it's the case at my school. Most schools now have the auto-cutoff system because they receive so many applications; more than the admission committee can handle. For instance, there is a total of 5 professors on the admission committee it's very hard to review 1000+ applications and go through 3000+ LORs in a such short amount of time. I would highly recommend that you submit your application early and have everything turn in ASAP. Unless there is a professor really wants to recruit you then they will most likely make an exception.

It's about how your future employers would think...well, unless you start your own company...

I would suggest you to avoid this if you were in the life science/physical science field. It would be very challenge to land a good post-doc position, or a decent job in the industry.
-
I would say that most top 5-10 schools will only care about your record on publications/scholarships/fellowships and letters of recommendation.

Research experience during high school
Quantum Buckyball replied to StenoLubr's topic in Applications
No, you should not include anything from high school in your CV for grad school applications. You should only focus on what you have done or achieved since you started undergrad. My PI is on the admission committee and I've heard so many bizarre stuff people included in their SOPs . -
yes, you are eligible to take out student loans as needed.

Oh boy can I relate to this. I began graduate school heavier than I would like and I was on a weight loss program, now that school has started my weight loss regime has gone down the drain. I can't make my Weight Watchers meetings and my eating is out of control. Hoping to get back on a system and not gain back all that I lost prior to starting school.

had a dream about getting married two nights ago, and then another dream about getting kidnapped last night...what the hell?
-
a LoR from someone who've only known you for 2 month carries a very little weight, almost barely none. Plus, it could do more harm than good in my opinion because of commitment issues.
-
Personally, I would use the letters of recommendation you used for your Masters instead of try to get one from your current advisor because you've only been in the program for 2 months.

I know someone with a history undergrad degree and did a 2-year MA in biology and got in the biochem program here
