Hi! I applied to OSU. I was wondering what are my chances of getting in... 

 

GPA: 3.086

GRE: 159(V), 160(Q), 3.5 (A)

year and a half of research experience, and a year of working in industry

 

I applied to Chemistry department.  I would really like to go. 

 

I also have three good recommendation letters.

I think this rate for undergraduate not the graduate.

I think your GPA is a bit low, but since you have a decent amount of research experience plus industry experience, that might make up for it. On the other hand, I just took a look at the chemistry program's website and it says they invite accepted students to a recruitment weekend in mid-March. If you weren't invited to that weekend, then it is unlikely you will be accepted. However, I don't know when you applied, so if it was late in the application season, you might have applied too late to be invited and you still may have a shot.

I applied really late, about 10 days ago. They were still accepting applications. My professors were asked to send rec letters last week.

Also, they did not ask for my CV. Did any of you guys who applied send them one anyways?

I applied to a different department at OSU, but it also didn't ask for a CV. I submitted one anyway.

I submitted CV as well, but they didn't ask.
