Scramblase Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I got an interview invite for UT Southwestern Organic today! The main interview day seems to be the same as the UT Austin date I signed up for which is unfortunate. I'd also be interested if anyone heard back about Caltech organic or chem bio (I'm not personally expecting to get an interview though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this applies to you, what division did you apply to? I'm trying to figure out if NW organic has made any decisions yet. Thanks! I just got in today for inorganic! I'm excited lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it seems like Caltech did not send out interview invitations before Christmas this year. Are we expecting to hear something soon? Still haven't heard from UCI ?

No word for me from Caltech, I'm in Theoretical/Computational. Perhaps they aren't doing interviews this year? It seemed like interviews were new last year, so perhaps they decided against doing more of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling decisions/interviews are possibly delayed because of Caltech's recent loss (Grubbs) since he was still an active professor, I'm only guessing (and I think this would only go for organic).

swimster Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I finally caved in to making an account once Caltech interviews were mentioned lol?? Did organic division at Caltech send out interviews? If not, can someone that is organic and receives an interview post about it here whenever they do? Desperately wanting to know if I will get an interview or not lol, I can't play this waiting game Edited January 6, 2022 by swimster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
