ghostar Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I e-mailed the coordinator last week because I may have had conflicts and I wanted to know when the decisions were going to be made, and she said the latest decisions will be made is today. And judging by previous years, they said they sent e-mails. So I'm assuming they're going to send you an e-mail later today. However, that doesn't show on my application page... So now I'm worried. Goodbye top choice... Do you see an "Interview" tab on your application page, in addition to "Application" and "Status"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancyfeast Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Uh so for the interview dates for UCSF - how many show up as available for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostar Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Uh so for the interview dates for UCSF - how many show up as available for you guys? Just two Mondays, March 2 and March 9, which is consistent with the CCB webpage. fancyfeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragneo Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I guess this means I probably wasn't selected for an interview. Oh well. Congratulations guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Isotope Defect Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Just got invited to interview weekend at Michigan! I'm very excited, they're one of my top choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanEvansLam Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Congratulatiosn to everyone on their acceptances! If history tells us anything, next week should begin with the announcements from Princeton, MIT, and Caltech. The week that follows should be Harvard. chemblah and michelium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemSet Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I was accepted to Penn today. Pretty surreal, I will have to go on a widespread motivational speaking tour for students who found chemistry later during the course of their undergrad and worry about becoming competitive applicants. One year of research, no publications, bombed the chem GRE, and I still got into Penn. Feels good! I really appreciate how personable and thorough all of these departments (at least the schools I've encountered) are with this whole process. They could have written me off for a school like Penn for a number of reasons and I can't help but feel like they gave me a chance to convey how strongly I feel about this. Great day! Congrats to everyone else on acceptances, you've earned them no doubt!! Very cool to hear about you great scientists prospectively studying at places like Berkeley, Yale, Scripps, UNC, etc. I'm anxious that some have heard from UWashington and Michigan, I do love those schools. Can't wait to start hearing about UC Irvine and Santa Barbara, for my sake! We're the future of chemistry, guys. Who knew!

Darren Xu Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Anyone applied to graduate programs at chemical biology or systems biology at Harvard and got news? Heard that systems biology@Harvard has already sent all the interview invitations. I feel very sad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltagrey Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Newbie here. Question for all the others accepted to UC Berkeley: did you all receive calls from POIs? I only received a generic department email, and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruehl Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Any physical chemist here who got accepted to UC Berkeley? I keep seeing that more and more people get some sort of acceptance letters or calls from POIs from UC Berkeley this week but I haven't heard back... Just getting a bit nervous because Berkeley was one of my top choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interviews are held in the first two weeks of February, so I really hope that the decisions get sent out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vene Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I see, do you think it means anything if you have a POI personally call you versus if they don't? I think that procedures are likely to vary so much across different departments and universities that'll you'll drive yourself crazy trying to analyze this question. ghostar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnubisGate Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks! I'm starting to worry after seeing the acceptances from these schools. I'm trying to tell myself that there aren't many applicants for this field and that we have it less competitive. But that's probably a lie, hahah! Who did you list in your SOP for Stanford? I put down Todd Martínez, Thomas Markland, and Ed Solomon. Todd and Thomas were in the ChemWipes comedy skit for 2015. It was pretty funny http://youtu.be/Uh43Rz00sbQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
