How about yourself? I agree, I got good vibes from the program in general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHH Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Is there anyone who has not heard back from Berkeley? It seems like they sent out rejections very slowly... and I don't know if they would not send out acceptance anymore. International students in theoretical chem here.

The invitation I received falls on the March 12-14 though. How did it go? What can I expect on the event? I'm a little shy, but I'm considering attending if it will really help my PhD journey. Thanks! Yeah it is! This is just the first weekend! It's going good! It's fun to meet with other accepted grad students and the grad students already there are really nice and fun and doing their best to help us feel comfortable. The professors are really cool and they all just want you to find the best place for you, even it it's not A&M. They're not pressuring people to accept or anything!

I guess they were ochem rejections which makes me think maybe I’m waitlisted or something idk we’ll see @chem2021 have you heard back from them (UNC) in the last week or so? I'm still waiting on them also and am considering just emailing to ask about my application status since acceptance seems unlikely at this point anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a Chem grad student there and a bunch of ochem rejections went out already. We are probably waiting for students to start rejecting the offer to find out if we got in or if we are finally rejected. The first visit weekend was this weekend so hopefully we hear soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to UCLA and they told me I was on a “pending” list... so let’s hope they have low yields, too! chem2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joule123 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 hello, so I haven't been rejected from Texas A&M, but now am wondering what is going on since virtual visit days are coming up apparently. Is anyone in the same boat as I am or knows if I'm on some sort of waitlist?? I've reached out for a status update, but didn't get a reply :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether you are waitlisted yet, but the deadline for confirming for the virtual visit is on March 1. There are still many days to come so you might receive the decision before then I really hope so! I contacted valerie.mclaughlin@chem.tamu.edu. Her contact was listed under Admissions Questions on the graduate studies website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigredtootasty Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Has anyone not yet heard back from CalTech?

Still waiting to hear from 8 schools. Waiting on 3 different UC schools. Hii, Congratulations on your Purdue offer. I was admitted last year and deferred to Fall 2021. I'd like to know, have you gotten official acceptance from graduate school, please? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should have your official letter from Purdue by now but I'm also not really sure how deferrals work. I got a bunch of emails regarding financial offers, the official letter, etc. They have a virtual visitation next weekend. Wouldn't hurt to contact them Lawal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
