I heard plenty of peeps got in. Not sure, but if it helps, I applied inorganic... They might be doing it by discipline. Also, they sent me a very generic "check your application status" email before I got any other acceptance emails, so maybe if you didn't get that email yet, they're still deciding?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got that acceptance letter from Duke! I applied to analytical/ bioanalytical so I don't think the discipline matter much. There seems to be another wave of acceptance in early January so everyone else, keep your hope! eggsalads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeter59 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Probably not cause for panic if we didn't hear from Columbia today, yes? Seems like last year they sent out acceptances throughout January and then rejections in February... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebee Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 @chemthrowaway Ehhh maybe try a little bit harder if you wanted to stay anonymous? Saying that you included your current institution on the list and listing your state in the location part is like lowkey hoping someone would recognize you on Gradcafe. It seems this entire process stressed you out way way more than it should lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
