Is that yours? I was wondering if they have started reviewing or not. I applied to UW-Madison, mine is also "received and will be reviewed by your program". The staff told me that their committee won't start reviewing until late December, but I don't understand if it is like this, why do they say they use a rolling review rule?

Yeah, mine is the same and I didn't understand this too. Results of the previous years were all on a rolling basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've applied to similar grad schools as yours, give or take a few! However, I am applying for physical/inorganic materials. From what I recall, these schools do not make decisions until late this month and most of them stream in Jan so the wait ensues... All the best for you at Scripps, hopefully you get the call for the interview weekend soon!  Pillarsofcreation and chemthrowaway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggsalads Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just got into Duke! Still waiting for: UCSB, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Boulder, Princeton, MIT. Have heard that Washington often makes early decisions, but have also heard that they usually do a second wave of later decisions, so there might still be hope on that one... chembioforlife and Pillarsofcreation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
