Academics Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have been actively following theGradcafe Result Search. Like 5times per hour and I am glad to see many Chemistry 'acceptances'. However, I haven't seen more than one International Applicants. Although, I have seen very few International Applicants getting accepted into other Programs. This leaves me to wonder if Admission Committees only review International Applicants much after they finish with Domestic Applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it is common for many schools to make decisions on domestic applicants first. An adcom member at my institution mentioned that often this is merely a result of the process being more tedious for international applicants. For example, international schools occasionally have different grading scales, course studies, etc. Don't worry too much. It's still very early in the game!

I have not heard back from anywhere desptite completing apps well before deadlines. However someoe on the forum has had several acceptances despite being an international.So it is not the same for every univ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to apply as an international student although I went to HS, and did my undergrad and masters degree at an American college. I just hope we hear back soon.

lellies Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So is that to say if a domestic applicant hasn't heard of any decisions yet,they're most likely rejections,or is it too early to tell? I'm very nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassAppeal Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just heard from University of Florida via email. Stipend is just under ~$23k which is the smallest I've seen so far.. but then again, Gainesville has a really low cost-of-living. Visitation weekend is March 20-23 for those who're wondering!

I've had a few things from schools end up in there, for some reason or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist921 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So after checking this website every 10 minutes and thinking that a PhD in chemistry was not going to happen to me, I got an e-mail saying that I got into PRINCETON!!!! WOW! Overwhelmed with emotions. Feeling sooo much better, so happy! Best of luck to all other applicants. loginofpscl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lellies Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Inorganic. Again, congrats! It seems like there aren't many people applying for physical, or at least haven't heard back yet. I'm hoping to get into Princeton as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
