sreeIISER Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Can people suggest a list of good universities for Theoretical chemistry??? I have decided to apply for 8 universities out of which I have finalised on 7(UC Irvine, UC Merced, U Colorado, OSU, UT Austin, Purdue and GA TECH). I want to apply to one more!!

I heard that they don't start reviewing the applications till early February!! Is this true? U can always browse the result section to get an idea about the decision time for internationals. Some univs donot do any distinction in decision time b/w nationals and internationals.UIUC, Chicago to name some...some (e.g Penn state) do.

Academics Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I don't know if anyone is in my shoe...? I just couldn't stop checking my email everyday even though I know that Admissions decisions won't come until say January/February. How I wish I could fast forward the hands of time. Meanwhile, can anyone tell me another forum website where I can find more info on admissions process just like thegradcafe? Also, I have not seen anybody who is applying to the University of Kansas and Georgia State University. I am an international Student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UW-Madison is one of the few schools that specifically mention that they do rolling admissions. It'd be nice to hear from them soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4ss5pec Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm hoping somebody will post about hearing from UW soon... According to UW's website, they say they'll start reviewing applications on Dec. 16th. It'd be great if they actually do that; when I mentioned the timeline to my PI, he just laughed and said there's no way they'd start before January... Here's hoping it'll be good news for everyone if they do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaBoyAR Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Area of Interest: Organic Synthesis (Natural/Drug Development) Programs Applied: U of Washington, UI-UC,UC-Boulder, Vanderbilt University I really want to go to Washington out of personal reasons. I'm worried either the size of my undergrad institution is too small, my research isn't extensive enough, or my GRE scores are poor. But you applied to reasonable schools for your stats. Your gpa is great and at least you have some research experience. The awards are nice as well. Illinois is obviously going to be the most difficult of those to gain admission. Otherwise, I'd say you're likely to be competitive at the others. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassAppeal Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just got a phone call from a faculty member at UNC that I was accepted! Full disclosure, though, I had previously spoken in-person with this faculty at a conference earlier this year because one of his areas of research is very very close to the kind of research I was also presenting on at the conference, so my application had some "non-traditional" elements. Visitation is sometime in March, and he said they were actively going through applications now (applications were due today) so they're working on it!

Cookie Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 From what I heard from the Seattle visit weekend in April, UW sends out first-wave acceptance emails in the first and second weeks of January. Thats when I got mine as well. That might have changed this cycle. Just dont freak out this early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously solid scores with GRE's...and coupled with ur research, u should have acceptance from most of these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4ss5pec Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just got an email from a faculty member at UWashington about an admission offer! Sounds like they're already starting on acceptances; the email also said that the visiting weekends are on 2/28-3/1, 3/14-3/15, or an independently scheduled time. Things are gettin' started!
