clothmon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hey everyone, I applied to 3 schools last fall (UNC Chapel Hill, University of Washington, and University of Kansas) for OChem and was rejected from all 3. I graduated with dual degrees in Chem/Bio + a minor in math. My overall GPA was a 3.3 and chem GPA was 3.5. My transcript has a large upward trend as a result of a late ADHD diagnosis that resulted in proper medication midway through undergrad. I have 1.5 years of research experience and am first author on a procedural paper for org. syn. I want to reapply to more schools, but now that we're quarantined I'm not sure how to build experience to become a more competitive candidate. I'm also unsure of which schools would be realistic for me to apply to. Any advice would be stellar. TYSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemen Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 If you are an under-represented minority, the ACS Bridge Program could be a good option in your case. It may strengthen your application. https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/students/graduate/bridge-project/about-bridge-program.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
