YaBoyAR Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (Congratulations!) Trust me, academia never sleeps. Even on Christmas Eve most of the admin staff were in for at least a half day, if the faculty weren't physically present I bet they were still "working remotely". It doesn't help that the weather in this part of the world feels more Spring Break than Christmas Break. Haha. Good point. Great blog, btw!

Zaea Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I got into Yale! I just need the interview. Were you notified that you'll need an interview? A professor just emailed me saying that the department is going to accept me, but there's no information about any interviews in the email or on Yale's graduate admissions and chemistry department webpages.

Westcoastchemist Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Couldn't find it - I'm curious as to what your stats were. Chemical biology undergrad at large Canadian university. 3 years research experience (took part in the co-op program here, which for me was 16 months full-time labwork in 3 different labs). 3 strong LORs from professors at my school: my thesis supervisor, co-op supervisor, and a professor for a course I did well in. No publications, but I presented at several undergraduate conferences, and won an award for one. A few extracurriculars and scholarships relevant to the field. GPA: 87% overall, 91% major (converted to 3.79 overall, 3.96 major) GRE: 169V 170Q 5.5AW GRE Chemistry: 890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
