[brooksja5]

Hello all! 

I'm currently looking for some advice from you guys.  I'm at the point where I need to start narrowing down where I plan to apply.  With the following credentials, what do you guys think my odds are for getting into certain programs (also following!)? Aim for PhD!

GPA: 3.96/4.0 @ a small liberal arts college in south central MN

 

GRE: 153V/159Q/4AW

Chem GRE: Have not taken yet, Oct 19

Research: Spent summer @ Northwestern synthesizing nanoparticles (REU Program), Will have 1 full year of "in-semester" research once I graduate. 

Schools I plan on applying to:

University of Minnesota
University of Illinois, Urbana
Purdue

UW Madison

Iowa State
UNC Chapel Hill

Indiana U


What do you guys think? Thanks!!

I won't be too much help, since I only applied to 3 places total and know little to nothing about what they care about, but I think you're in good shape.  When I applied, I had a 4.0 gpa at a fairly small largely commuter based university, 167/160/5.5 GRE (though I really don't think most places put much emphasis on that), no chem GRE at all, a couple internships and 1 semester of undergrad research.  Taking everything together you seem to be in a pretty similar boat.  Out of the schools you listed, I applied to Purdue and IU and heard back from both pretty quickly with fellowship offers.  I only didn't apply to a couple of the others because they required the chem gre and it was too late for me to take it.
