Fall 2012 Chemistry

[speedyjen116]

Huh I am from California too... haha I guess the wait just continues!

I am looking organic. I talked to the admissions director today and he said they sent out all the final decisions on Monday, I live on the east coast so it took 2 days to get here. Its possible they are still holding a few on an unofficial wait list (I know schools do this sometimes), but he made me believe that they have sent out everything.

I also was just some anxious kid calling him, so he could have just been giving me the run around.

Hi guys! I am going for computational or theoretical. Ten days ago I got an acceptance offer from Princeton. Anyone else going for campus visit?~

[process chemist]

Well just got my rejection e-mail from Vanderbilt (Organic). Stated they received an unprecedented number of applicants this year (no surprise). So far, have 1 admit, 1 rejection, and 2 others pending (Boston (Organic), Michigan Applied Physics)

had any one heard from UPenn..?

Is MIT over with the admissions?!

[Alexzzzzz]

eek. UChicago now sends out E-mail notifications instead of mail? Freaking out!

I emailed Melinda, but she told me that Our Admissions Committee will announce its decisions by the middle of February.

So where are the rejections and offers coming from???

I heard back from them through email around the mid-January and they sent me an email for checking application status through their website yesterday.

Is anyone here waiting to hear back from Northwestern...?

It seems like they're almost done with the application review, and setting up for visitation dates.

Heard from a friend of mine in Northwestern that the application no. is extremely high this year (500) which is 200 higher than last year...

[Chronos]

Yay! Just heard back from Columbia University via e-mail! Don't give up hope and stay strong!!

I notice that a couple people have received interview offers from Scripps in the past few days, so I guess it's not too late for me to hear back.

I suppose she meant that's when they make their last offers, but I was accepted there in the middle of December (email from a prof. I had corresponded with before applying). The first visiting weekend is the 16th, but there's a second in March.

I need an offer!

I emailed Susan Brighton recently but she hasn't emailed me back.

Please do post when/if she responds, I'd also like to know.

twb your acceptance status is almost identical to mine.. except Scripps. I guess we probably would meet a lot during March

Yeah, I'm waiting too. Don't really care at this point, because UIUC is ranked equally in chem, so I'll probably go there if I don't get in. It would be nice to hear back though!

Is Berkeley done with their admissions? Haven't seen anyone with offer recently.

I emailed them, they told me most admission offers are sent out in January, a handful in February, and the rejections in March.

I emailed them, they told me most admission offers are sent out in January, a hand full in February, and the rejections in March.

Does the application status page changes once a decision is reached or is it fixed on submitted.

[Sulay Patel]

I havent heard back from UCLA till now. Shall i consider that as rejection..?

Almost always you get the e-mail first, before they update the application page.

January admissions were considered 'early admissions', so I infer that in February you will probably hear back.

Once I had emailed Susan Brighton, I didn't receive a response. Then I e-mailed Lynn Marie Guthrie and received an immediate reponse. I suggest you to send your inquiries to Lynn in the case you need info.

I also emailed Melinda and got the same answer. I guess it may be the time for physical chemistry or theoretical chemistry.
