twb Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 do the people who heard back from MIT today mind sharing their information?
JonotanVII Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Had to wake up in the wee hours to drive my sister to school, came back and got my acceptance email from MIT! Here are my stats GPA: cumulative 3.88, major 4.00 GRE: V 154/64%, Q 164/91%, AW 4.5/72%, chem 850/88% 1.5 years of research experience in a synthesis lab, 1 publication (2nd author) Not really sure about my LORs but probably 2 good ones from different research advisors and 1 ok from a professor twb 1
Amirhossein B Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Congrats JonotanVII!!! I wish you success in your future studies. Is MIT the top choice on your list?!
GalliumSpoon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 TWB, did you get a strange e-mail from Yale saying "Your application has been made available for review... etc." before you were accepted? Any time frame on that?
twb Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 TWB, did you get a strange e-mail from Yale saying "Your application has been made available for review... etc." before you were accepted? Any time frame on that? i got two emails from them, both after i'd been called. the first one said that my application has been made available to review and the second said that i could log in to check my application status. The emails arrived within a day of one another.... congratz JonotanVII! are you looking to do synthesis in grad school?
JonotanVII Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Amirhossein B and twb! I don't really have a top choice since I wanna visit the schools first before I decide. And yeah I'm gonna be doing organic synthesis, looking forward to it . How about you guys?
alvanwood Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Anyone heard back from MIT are biological chemistry?

Just wondering, when did you hear from UCB? Was it via email, phone? Don't want to lose hope for this school just yet, thanks!
Groove Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Yay! I just got accepted to Georgia in Athens and U of Utah! Woot!
Amirhossein B Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Amirhossein B and twb! I don't really have a top choice since I wanna visit the schools first before I decide. And yeah I'm gonna be doing organic synthesis, looking forward to it . How about you guys? It's a nice opportunity for you natives that you can visit your future schools before deciding! I am not counting on MIT at all, so my top choice is the University of Toronto and after that British Columbia. I am going to do bio-organic.
SpenzK Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Anyone heard back from MIT are biological chemistry? I applied to MIT for biological chemistry with secondary interest in inorganic and heard back on December 28th. I believe that other biological people have heard back too. It's still very early, so I wouldn't be too worried yet if I were you.

Worried that they may not get transcripts. They never respond to my emails..
SpenzK Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 mm.. I have my secondary choice as physical chemistry. Worried that they may not get transcripts. They never respond to my emails.. The best person to contact at MIT for questions regarding your application is Susan Brighton.
JonotanVII Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Congrats jonotanVII! Just wondering, when did you hear from UCB? Was it via email, phone? Don't want to lose hope for this school just yet, thanks! I heard back from them yesterday morning (the 11th) by email. Are you going into organic chemistry too? I think that each division makes its decision at different times.
process chemist Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Has any one heard from Boston U yet? I applied for synthetic organic, and I am just a little worried. By the way, what is the stipend for Boston? That stipend has to be serious because Boston is serious.

By the way, what is the stipend for Boston? That stipend has to be serious because Boston is serious. I would imagine that their stipend is pretty high. Schools are generally pretty good about covering cost-of-living expenses. After all, wouldn't you just apply to medical school if you wanted to incur more debt?! ;-) In other news, I got a call from Caltech today! I was told that official notices would be sent out sometime within the next week or two. I'm so excited! Good luck to all applicants!
twb Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) I got a call from caltech today too!!! Edited January 13, 2012 by twb
clemson448 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Is anyone applying for the UNC at chapel hill BBSP program? Or have you heard if they are still extending invitations to interview?
process chemist Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 UNC, BBSP, January 27-29 (5 other dates)
quimico Posted January 13, 2012 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...
this_isnot_here Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone hear back from the following schools: Northwestern UCLA Cornell ?
yesnwp Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Waiting on Northwestern and UCLA. Can't wait to hear!
