PaulinaTheChemist Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Do you by any chance know what's up with Duke? (I see you're waiting for them as well)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScience Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Do you by any chance know what's up with Duke? (I see you're waiting for them as well)? No clue what's going on there. According to their website: "Offers of admission are typically announced from mid-January to mid-April, but the majority of offers are extended before the end of February." ...which basically means not much lol I would guess they are not done sending out acceptances but I don't think they will extend more than a few offers at this point.

PaulinaTheChemist Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah, that's how is seems to me too :/ Still hoping though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bskaplan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 no posts in 2 days on here? Starting to get awfully quiet, guess decision season is coming to an end. Not looking good at the 4 remaining schools I've yet to hear from, although a lot of people it seems still have not heard from Duke. Hoping they're just a little behind in the process this year.

St Andrews Lynx Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've got my first visiting weekend next week. Quite excited. It involves flying from the UK to the East Coast and I got several days extra to look around the area/get over the jetlag. I've already visited this school, but now I get to stay in a nice hotel, feel like a proper grad student and chat some serious chemistry. Safe travelling everybody!

madchemist_04 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 yea although I'm pretty sure I got rejected...I havent heard anything either from Vanderbilt either. sigh Their Dean's department is taking there sweet ass time. I talked to the graduate coordinator and she was trying to tell me I got an offer without saying it because "She can't legally tell me I got accepted or rejected" but she did say that they had decided who they accepted and rejected but it was just a matter of sending out the emails because they have 17 PhD programs and the Dean's department handles all of those.

UBackwardsChemistry Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The #1 thing that I learned from my first visit weekend is to NEVER sign a napkin contract pledging your acceptance of an admissions offer unless you fully intend on attending the school...apparently it can lead to some awkward (but hilarious for those not involved) situations Quantum Buckyball, St Andrews Lynx, synorg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulinaTheChemist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 To all those still waiting for Boulder - I emailed them today asking about the decision and this is the reply I received: Hi xxx, I can tell you that we have received your full application, but that our committee has not yet reviewed your application. Our first round of decisions have gone out at this time, and decisions will continue to be made until about April 1. You will get a letter with their decision as soon as it is made. Thank you, Chemasst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bskaplan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 tried calling duke today to find out what's up...got an automated message to pick administration to talk to or just someone in general. Tried both and both brought me to someones voicemail. Wish they would let us know what's going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraday Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) As far as Duke goes, I vaguely recall meeting two different people this past weekend who said they had gotten into Duke and there was already a visit weekend scheduled. I don't recall the date. Maybe two weeks from now? I suppose this isn't good news but if you haven't been straight up rejected you may be on a wait list so stay optimistic!

Their reply somewhat reminds me on the kind of things you find in fortune cookies In the very near future you will receive an email directing you to view the decision letter in Applicant Self Service.

Thank you, Chemasst. I was rejected by Boulder like some two weeks ago, good thing is that they are still considering you as an candidate, hang in there! Also, received an admission offer from University of Rochester this morning, I recall that someone here is also waiting to hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheminal Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Anyone rejected by Cornell? I am waiting. Grad Cafe Chemistry Cornell results lead only to acceptances for fall 2013, making me worry if I should wait any longer. I have got into a program whose professor's awesome and it's ranked among the top twenty five. But Cornell is a good program too. Has anyone heard from them? I keep calling them, but no one replies except with answering machine, from Patricia Hine to everyone else. I even email them almost everyday. I was told on February 12 that decisions were being finalized in a week or two. It's way past two weeks now and I haven't heard from them. I don't think they're past their schedule. I know my decision is made but I can't wait. If anyone hears from them please let me know!| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
