St Andrews Lynx Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Received my first offer of admission from Rutgers University (Organic Chemistry). Relieved I've got SOMETHING to look forward to in Fall 2013. What's the average amount of funding people have been offered? Rutgers have offered me $3.2K for the first year (TA, scholarship, tuition fees & health benefits)...that seems to be on the good side...?

Rutgers have offered me $3.2K for the first year (TA, scholarship, tuition fees & health benefits)...that seems to be on the good side...? Congratulations!!! Usually stipends reflect the cost of living in the area, but either way, that's a decent chunk of money! Here's some previous data:
Artoy Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Thank you for all the congratulations!! Here's my stats: *International with US degree from a top ten public school *Cumulative/major GPA: 3.70 *GRE: 152/164/4.0 *Chemistry: 780 *About a year of research experience in an organic lab *Three 2nd author publications on pretty decent journals (the lab is small, I work/learn fast, and I guess I was really lucky!) *Three solid recommendations Last year, I had no publications and I got rejected by all the programs that I applied to. Cookie 1
ChemLeg Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 3.2 K? Or 32K? That's actually very good. 20-30K is typical. I see Duke has started rolling out decisions. FINGERS CROSSED!
St Andrews Lynx Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 3.2 K? Or 32K? That's actually very good. 20-30K is typical. $ 32K Thanks for the intel & well wishes, useful for me (as an international) to know what to expect.

Do you mind telling us what you did on your in between year? Work in the lab where you got your publications?
Artoy Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Do you mind telling us what you did on your in between year? Work in the lab where you got your publications? I actually came back to my home country right after my graduation. And two months later, I got a job which I have been working since. My PI did offer me to stay in his lab but thing just didn't work out in the end.
rayray09 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 To whomever just got into UNC congrats and remember to put in a good word for me!
HeliosLLC Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Just heard back from Harvard! Their visiting dates are March 15th and 16th. Good luck to everyone!
Faraday Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Just heard back from Harvard! Their visiting dates are March 15th and 16th. Good luck to everyone! Congrats! It looks like you hit a grand slam there going 6 for 6.
UBackwardsChemistry Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Just heard back from Harvard! Their visiting dates are March 15th and 16th. Good luck to everyone! Congrats to everyone that got in to Harvard. Based on the number of admissions on the results page it looks like I probably didn't make the cut...oh well, I'm pretty happy with what I've got!

Kava Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Those Washington acceptances are making me worried since its one of my top picks. But still congrats to those who got in! Check the website under the status link. I was worried too, so I checked the website yesterday and it showed that I'm offered admission into the program - I'm not sure why I didn't get an email. Also, I checked with the department and they said that the official offer letter should arrive shortly.
bskaplan Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Just got an email saying georgia tech didn't receive 2 of my LOR. I wish they had an online system that let me know whether or not they were received like every other school because I would've emailed my profs until they did it. Luckily the graduate coordinator said I could have them email her the letter directly. Hope it all works out but both profs told me they submitted all of mine. Does anyone know if this will negatively effect my chances? Edited January 23, 2013 by bskaplan
