Expand Received an email from grad admission that an update has been posted to the U Chicago portal but I couldn't find how to access the update after logging into my portal. Are you having the same problem?
reaction Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Has anyone else received an email from Chicago on the updated application status? I accessed the site but can't seem to find a change, except if memory serves correctly, an "Attention International Admitted students" notice. I think this is a positive sign, but I'm not certain. Should I give the site more time to be updated fully(?)?

Expand Same issues with the portal for me, if anyone is wondering about stipends...because they didn't say anything officially yet I'm not sure (hoping they'll send stipend and visit weekend info soon), but I have a friend that's currently a PhD student there and said the stipend is higher than most places despite Chicago not being too expensive for a major city.

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Expand I talked to a PI last week and he said the department is most likely changing it, possibly to March because of COVID. But even the PIs have no idea when it will actually take place and will find out whenever official acceptances are sent out. I'm concerned because that may conflict with visit weekends at some California schools ? Edited January 11, 2022 by chemnerd101

Expand Oh that's interesting...not sure if the COVID situation would be better or worse by then...but hopefully a lot better...Hopefully they fix this issue soon so we could access stipends/fellowship information
alChemist_07 Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Hi, anyone gone through the MIT chemistry Phd interview process? Got invited to a 15-minute interview this week "to learn more about you" so super stressed. What sort of questions do they ask and how promising is getting an interview invite? Thanks in advance

Talk about a time in your research where you had an exciting result/something you were proud of. 2. Talk about a challenging time and what you did. 3/4. Why do you want a PhD and what drives you to get one? Good luck tomorrow! They were quite nice. They did ask a couple follow up questions regarding my research, but I wasn't being grilled by any means. Edited January 12, 2022 by maplelatte chemnerd101 and Collegesenior 2
MonkeyFan Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I was starting to think caltech might reject me since I didn't receive an interview invite last week but I just got an invitation for a 10-minute interview. The dates are Jan 13th and Jan 18th.
