Yeah, you're right. And when you say visitation days: you mean for all schools, even those that I was not invited to?

My pipe dream is either Columbia (where a prof who was foundational to my field has his lab) or Berkeley (my old PI went there for undergrad and they do crazy inorganic chemistry), but I'm being recruited quite strongly by A&M. I'm wondering since I haven't heard from these schools if this portends bad news, and I should just pull the trigger on A&M now. I ~think~ that I have a strong application and folks from my undergrad with nearly identical apps got acceptances from these schools, so perhaps there's a chance. But I'm curious if y'all think waiting for these other schools is a lost cause. Thanks in advance! Hey! I got into TAMU as well and I haven't heard anything at all from the other schools I applied to. It's still pretty early in the cycle (we've still got 3 months left) so I wouldn't say just accept your results yet. I did a deep dive into the results posted from last cycle and there were still quite a few acceptances that went out at the end of March. Don't give up yet, maybe just allow yourself to relax and know that at least you have somewhere to go! Atom345 1

I know it is stressful to wait around, but you don't want to pull the trigger prematurely. elle_chem and lilbroccoli13 2

Tbh I don’t think it’s too likely I’ll change my mind: my bf has an interview with the pharmacology program and they have one of the best in the world. If he gets in, it’s a no brainer for both of us so fingers crossed!!! His interview is today so I’m just trying to distract myself haha Edited January 28, 2021 by ashortchemist

I think they are probably mostly done with admissions as I have seen they have sent out rejection letters. But if you haven't gotten a rejection you may be on a wait list of some kind, they will probably admit a certain number of additional people once they get a better idea of how many of their offers are going to enroll. Hey are you going to MW's visit weekend? If so, I may see you there!
a.rose Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hey, I talked to a grad student and they reminded me that many schools are just getting back in session now so they won't send out acceptances for a week or two! We're gonna make it guys! Just a while longer and we've got it! Best of luck to everyone! Don't give up! elle_chem 1

Some people mentioned they were contacted by potential PI, but I had not established contact with any PI during the application process and was contacted by the chair instead.

Med_Chem Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Has anyone here applied to the medicinal chemistry PhD at University of Washington? And if so, has anyone heard anything?
Atom345 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Did anyone else apply to the Chemical Biology program at University of Michigan? (This is a separate program for some reason lol).
Beau Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Anyone know what's up with UMichigan Ann Arbor? I saw 4 rejections on Results page usually they seem to release all rejects at once
