My interview was 1/4, she told me I would hear at the earliest, 1/15, but im anticipating hearing back sometime this week. I know some people were interviewed the week of 1/11, which makes me think only second round people were interviewd again for 5 mins?? I have no idea tho TBH, and it doesnt really matter because it is out of our control. Bottom line- dont worry! If you are admitted or not it is likely for the best quantummoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeetamus Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 To respond to some of the Caltech questions: I was emailed on 1/11 for an interview that happened 1/12. Heard back on Sunday asking for a short zoom meeting which was today - it wasn't a second interview, just letting me know I was accepted. I'm in the organic division. quantummoon and Atom345 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantummoon Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Oh yes, re:Caltech I'm going Pchem, if that matters. From what I read on here and the results page it sounded like all the interviews for pchem went out already so I'm not hopeful haha ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemintuition Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Update for those in the organic division, Purdue accepted me January 14th at like 1 am and have been declined from Emory and Vanderbilt. Still waiting to hear from 8 schools. Waiting on 3 different UC schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting to hear from 8 schools. Waiting on 3 different UC schools. I was also rejected from Vanderbilt on Friday night, and I applied organic as well. The research fit was admittedly poor and I only applied to have another chance to stay with my boyfriend. It was shocking none the less, as I’ve been accepted into multiple top 20 programs with large fellowships. I contacted my PI about it and she said she heard Vanderbilt Orgo was really struggling with money, so please don’t beat yourself up about it too much. Sincerely hoping your remaining 8 are all acceptances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note does anyone know when scripps is doing invites to their virtual visitation weekend? The suspense is killing me. Also chem bio! Last week Scripps reached out to me to schedule a short, informal interview. The interviews have been taking place late last week and early this week. They should reach out about the virtual visit weekend in a few days! Edited January 20, 2021 by spaghettios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also chem bio applicant here, Scripps sent me their virtual interview weekend invitation in late December, but it sounds like they're sending out more this week/next week according to @spaghettios. Hope this helps! spaghettios 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly congratulations on the interview!! and wow, do you know if you'll know whether you're accepted after your informal interviews? I never did any informal interviews, just got the formal interview invite back in December to their interview weekends in feb and march and I have no idea if the weekend is more like a recruitment thing or a serious interview type thing quantummoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure what the actual visit weekend is either. But it's probably a good thing that you got your invite so early and didn't have to do the preliminary interview! I would guess I was probably in a pool of second-tier choices or something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.rose Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Being able to look here and see that we're all in the same boat waiting for responses is really nice. I hope that you all are hearing back from your schools and that you get into a school that you're excited about! These next few weeks are going to be stressful but we've got this!
