They seem to all belong to one department of chemistry and chemical biology There's the chemical biology PhD program (which allows you to work for PI's from outside of the chem department) and there's the department of chemistry & chemical biology (CCB). If you applied for chemistry, you applied to CCB, which doesn't have interviews. Edited January 15, 2015 by KineticIsotopeDefect
w0mbat Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Ouch. Getting ready for that Princeton rejection

tbqh Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 To anyone who got MIT or UC Berkeley, If you are sure of going to another school, please reject the offer asap & not hog onto it? Thanks!

Hijojo Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Accepted to Wisconsin-Madison today! Like others have mentioned, mine was in my spam folder, so everyone should definitely make sure to check there. I've been particularly antsy about admissions this week (this site is wonderful, but does not always help with paranoia and anxiety), so it's a nice relief.

Hopefully the lack of news from Caltech does not automatically mean a rejection I doubt that the lack of news from Caltech means a rejection, considering only one person has heard from them - from the previous years' results, the Caltech acceptances tend to go out in waves over a couple of days/weeks.

Have all MIT and UCB acceptances been made or something?

I doubt all the MIT and UCB acceptances have already been made. MIT acceptances first came out this week, and I think only 2 or 3 people on this forum have heard back from them so far. As for UCB, considering acceptances have been continuing to come out over the last few days, I'd give them a few more weeks as well.

Deltagrey Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Nevermind, I just noticed you were referring to Harvard.

Princeton's graduate admissions website for chemistry says that admission decisions will be shared on 2/1 so I guess they've only notified the more qualified candidates first so maybe there's still hope ..? Waiting for mine too..
AnubisGate Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah, I've lost all hope in my admission to Princeton. It's just gunna be nice to sleep tonight, and to be confident about something for the first time in about a month. Good luck to everyone, I wish you all the best. May the best man win, and I shall support it.

Darren Xu Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Having been rejected by SB and CB at Harvard, I feel very sad. But there is still one thing left in Pandora's Box: hope. I'm still alive. michelium 1
metallocene2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Has UCLA's organic chemistry division sent out any emails yet ?
Kinetic Isotope Defect Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Princeton's rejections have started going out. Oh well! Congrats to everyone who was admitted!

Congrats to everyone who was admitted! Just got mine too. Did you also get a generic email from the Dean of the Graduate School? I'm wondering if these emails are candidate-specific- mine said something about not being a good match for the program...
