nechalo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone hear back from the following schools: Northwestern UCLA Cornell ? I e-mailed UCLA and they said they are reviewing applications but decisions will not go out until late January/early February which is still a couple weeks away. There is one acceptance posted in the database but we don't know many details or why it was so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contretemps Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Received my first rejection, U Chicago when did you submit your application? I'm assuming international students would get their decisions much much later. Is U Chicago the only one who gives out admission decisions via post? Even if they make the decision about my admission today, it would still take at least a month for the mail to get here. freakingg out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

this_isnot_here Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Waiting on Northwestern and UCLA. Can't wait to hear! Same! Good luck, and maybe I'll see you there when (if, lol) we both get accepted. I e-mailed UCLA and they said they are reviewing applications but decisions will not go out until late January/early February which is still a couple weeks away. There is one acceptance posted in the database but we don't know many details or why it was so early. Sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvanwood Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 For those (lucky!) individuals who have gotten accepted to MIT: First, congratulations! Second, are any of you going for materials/physical chemistry? I'm still holding out hope that my division (materials) hasn't me yet... same concern. It seems to me that physical chemistry is usually later for sending out admissions from last year's result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quimico Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone hear back from the following schools: Northwestern UCLA Cornell ? I got accepted to Cornell on 12/29/11. They said I was an early admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Does anyone know how many acceptances does MIT offer for chemistry by year (aprox)? Also, for the ones who have been admited at MIT via email, was it an email from a professor or directly from the school? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the number of admits, but my email was from the chem dept in general, specifically, Lynn Marie Guthrie.

process chemist Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think that since a number of people received early admits before Jan 1st., people are expecting to hear from all of their schools like yesterday. It is only January 13th, and many grad coms are still making decisions on first round admits (Vanderbilt's deadline isn't until Jan 15th). ah233 and mcstev13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veele Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Those who have heard from Caltech, did any of you apply to theoretical chemistry? Any internationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twb Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Those who have heard from Caltech, did any of you apply to theoretical chemistry? Any internationals? no and no for me, but if you look here http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=caltech+chemistry it looks like 2 international students have been admitted this cycle.

SpenzK Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Berkeley seems a little slow this year. I hope that more than two of the great applicants on this site get accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you applied to a lot of UC's, then don't worry! They usually take a long-ass time (except for SD; who are quite prompt!) Usually last week of Jan. through Feb. is when they start going out.

I just submitted my application to UCSD at Jan 9 and have no idea when I would receive the decision. Btw, the original deadline of UCSD was Jan 11 but I noticed that it was recently changed to Jan 18. Anyone know what happens? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nechalo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was accepted to UCSD on January 12 via e-mail. I'm in organic chemistry. The only UCSD updates I see in the database this year are about interviews, not acceptances (I didn't think chemistry did interviews so I actually thought they were for biochemistry instead). Were you accepted after an interview? I haven't heard back at all and I'm in Physical/Organic Chemistry; I'm curious about where my place is right now. In other news, Northwestern seems to be making acceptances now! I saw one in the database yesterday and I got an acceptance by e-mail from a PI today! So excited, they are one of my top choices!

Yeah, I got an e-mail Jan 12, but I submitted my application in mid-December. I think they read them chronologically, so you get accepted like that.
