I'm probably jumping the gun a bit for starting one in late August, but there's always many of us who want to do things very early on.
Anyway, likes previous threads including the Fall 2012 Chemistry thread (), I would like to hear everyone's preparation for the 2013 application season! This time I would like to include Chemistry and Biochemistry since I consider them sister majors.
Who's ready?
(So far) I'm applying to UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, and Arizona.
Optionally, you can also include your stats (years of research experience, GRE scores, etc...)
