Do you know if those accepted were all emailed by their POI that interviewed them?

And was each person interviewed by their POI? I was, but that's all I know

I have no idea lol, I was rejected without an interview

I got accepted to MIT (ChemBio/Biophysical) today. I was interviewed by my POI and received a personal email from my POI today.

My interview was so awkward that I cannot imagine being accepted, so consider me rejected, might as well. My POI specifically emphasized the parts of her research that did not match mine. I guess it's my mistake for writing about the parts of her research that I liked? Never mind that I had two other POI who my current works matches great with :')

MIT Organic acceptees - did any of you hear back from Tim Jamison?

[organic path]

Has anyone who applied to Caltech and did not get interviewed got rejected?

UCSD stipend is also in the same range as U Chicago 

Just wondering, did you receive the official admission letter from UCSD? They sent the nomination letter a while ago.

Has anyone belonging to inorganic track heard back from MIT after interviews? 

[MomoNasty]

Anybody hear back from UPenn recently for organic?

If they are gonna reject some of us after interviews, what's taking them so long? My friends who got rejected without interviews are far better off right now and planning their visitation weekends at other unis while here I am refreshing my mail every 5 minutes like a maniac ?

Especially since they seem done with results for with the other divisions of chem... I feel you

[ilsc]

So I applied to 10 schools, three safeties and seven reaches. Accepted by the three safeties in December and rejected from another three this month. Should I just assume the rest are rejections?

The four I'm waiting to hear from are: Emory, Georgia Tech, University of Florida, and UIUC.

Accepted: UofSC, Clemson, UGA

Rejected: UChicago, Duke, Princeton

[eg2000]

@ilsc I got my UIUC acceptance in Dec so probably a rejection there. idk about the rest

For those who got accepted from Princeton in Organic, did any of you put Robert Knowles or Paul Chirik as your POI? Just curious.

I put both down as I applied along the organometallic line.

Also wondering if official admission letters have started coming out. Haven’t heard anything from UCSD and given nomination letters went out ages ago I’m expecting the worst

I am so so so sorry for both what’s happening to you and for laughing. Hope these di..heads respond soon love! 

[UnstableRadical]

have people who interviewed with UCSF heard back yet? 

[NBUIC]

Anyone has heard from Vanderbilt? JHU? Am I to assume these two are rejections? 

[chemgrad2022]

got my first rejection from berkeley 

[reaction]

At this point, even rejections are kind of soothing..... So glad chemistry is one of the fastest majors that announce their decisions. The wait is really stressful

Haven't heard back, seems like CCB decisions came out around 2/18 or 19 last year.

[hartree]

Has anyone here applied to theory and computation/pchem track for the following programs? If so, were all the decisions for that track released at once?

MIT, UofMichigan (Ann Arbor), Caltech, Cornell, and UChicago
