Forest Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 UCSD update! So, I called and it turns out that it looks like they've made all the decisions so far...so, if you haven't heard, you're kind of waitlisted. Final decisions will be made next week. Analytical accepted a very small amount. Apparently UCSD had a large amount of students accept the offers last year so this year wasn't as big. So, if you haven't heard, good luck to everyone! Thanks for your update but so sad to hear that. Does the so called "waitlisted" mean "rejected"? Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh5639 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for your update but so sad to hear that. Does the so called "waitlisted" mean "rejected"? Good luck to everyone! The guy I spoke with said that after the visit this weekend they may accept more people. He looked thru a stack and said I was kind of a 'finalist'...which he said was pretty much wait listed/just getting an idea this weekend...so you can interpret it however...oh, well, I'll take it for now. I kind of wish these schools would say something like, 'not taking applications for the following depts' or 'limited spots for following dept' instead of letting us spend all this money.

speedyjen116 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone heard anything from Rice? Yup! I was accepted by phone last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sareth Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone heard anything from Rice? Yup. My understanding is they're making ~40 offers, approximately 20 domestic/20 international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lynn Sharp Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yup! I was accepted by phone last night Congrats! I saw a couple of acceptances posted on here, but I've heard nothing. I heard about the whole 40 offers thing. I guess I should prepare myself for a rejection email.... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contretemps Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hang in there guys! It ain't over 'til it's over! I swear, even after receiving acceptances, the wait is still unbearable. Brandon Lynn Sharp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconutman39 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 So I went onto the Scripps website the other day to see if my application status had changed, and I couldn't log into the system. It made it seem like my application had been deleted. I am assuming rejection if that is the case, kind of a strange way to find out. Anybody else have that problem?

Coconutman39 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I just got the following email. "Thank you for your email and interest to the Kellogg School of Science and Technology at TSRI. As of February 1st, the login is no longer accessible since they have expired. This is because the program is reset for the new year applicants for fall 2013. At this point, the admissions committee is still in the process of making their decisions of who will be admitted into the program as we received over 700 applications. You will receive an email stating the interview schedule no later than the end of February if you are chosen for an interview. If not, you will receive a decline email sometime in April." Well, at least there is still hope, but I am not going to hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least there is still hope, but I am not going to hold my breath. hmmm this seems strange because when I was offered an interview they said that the only dates that they are doing interviews in La Jolla are 2/24 and 3/2, and they wouldn't let me go a different weekend. So if they don't tell you until the end of Feb., then that gives you like no notice to go to one of the scheduled interviews. Maybe it's different for the florida campus? Anyone know what percentage of the people that they interview are accepted? Also, if anyone hears anything from MIT please provide an update!

HaElkoshi Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Also, if anyone hears anything from MIT please provide an update! I just called MIT, they told me applications are still being reviewed and responses are still being sent out, and it may be a few weeks (!) before all decisions are made. I haven't seen any admittances on survey in a while, so I'm still hopeful, but not too optimistic. twb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smck99 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I haven't seen anyone else applying to Northeastern on here, but just in case, if you get an invitation to the open house it means you will be accepted even though the email says that it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I was confused, but my POI said they only send them to people who will be accepted. For some reason though they don't send out the acceptances until after the visit.

I wonder why they are taking longer than other peer institutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analytical accepted a very small amount. Apparently UCSD had a large amount of students accept the offers last year so this year wasn't as big. So, if you haven't heard, good luck to everyone! Hey, is this also the case for physical chemistry at UCSD? Or was your post specifically about analytical chemistry? UCSD is the only school I haven't heard back from, it kind of makes sense because of their late deadline (though I submitted early December), but on the other hand there is your message and the fact that a lot of people have already heard back from them. I also read on this forum that UCSD does not accept many international students (I am an international student), and it seems to be true looking at the "results survey" that shows only domestic students got accepted so far (and bothered to fill in the result survey). Does anyone have more information on this, or is it just a vague suspicion that people have? Edited February 11, 2012 by cynder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't just UCSD do not accept many international students, it is the public schools in California (in general) accept a lot less international applicants. All the schools in the UC system accepts fewer international students compare to private schools or public schools in other states. If you want any numbers, Cal accepted 52 students in 2009 and only 2 of them are international, as far as I know. And I'm pretty sure what you read about UCSD @ tgc is pretty accurate thus far.

I haven't heard from them either, but I have heard from schools that had later deadlines... and I pretty much did all of mine at the last second possible. I'm doing organic though.

It's the chemistry department in general. The whole department did not have many spots and analytical even less. I've seen plenty of organic and inorganic acceptances go out, but no analytical..that's why us analytical people were hanging on. So, some may still hear good news but I'm guessing most will not. Oh well, I'm looking on the bright side, I'll probably end up going to the lower rated school over the higher rated I've already gotten into anyway!
