She thought I was still in UK and asked me if I can go to London in Mid Jan during her meeting in London. I told her I'm now in Singapore. Then she said we will have Skype interview. She will be in touch with be "when new year comes". This conversation was on 21 Dec. After that no more update... not sure if I should send her a follow-up...

I think you should, if anything to let her know you are still interested. You might want to wait until next week though in case she was just at the conference to give her some time to get back in the swing of things. (But I also get nervous about sending important emails on Fridays in case they get lost in the recipient's inbox over the weekend or while they're in crunch time before the end of the work week....)
SWNT Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Hello! Has anyone heard from Washington or Colorado yet? So far been accepted to Davis, UCSB, UCI and UCLA. I'm totally content with those, but (as we all know) the wait is nerve-wracking anyways.
uabiochem Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Just got my first acceptance! Texas Tech Chemistry PhD!
crystalettuce Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Has anyone heard from UNC Chapel Hill Yet? I submitted my application like back in November, and I've only seen one person post their results on the results search!

Has anyone heard from: Northeastern, Boston University, Boston College, Tufts, Dartmouth, or University of Oregon? The application deadlines were between Jan 1-Jan15, so it's still a little early to hear back. But I'm just too nervous/excited/anxious! Northeastern will be responding by February 10

ChemEnthusiast Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Their website says that they will send out decision in Feb
Solaf Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Anyone heard from Yale, umich, UCB, caltech or MIT ? Also if one didn't get an interview from scripps, are chances over ? ( any insight from last year or people applying now ?!) thanks !!
phenol Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I just got a call today from my POI at Caltech confirming my acceptance, though I haven't received any email or a formal offer of admission yet.

Thanks Phenol. Are you organic ? Also, was this POI someone you mentioned in your SOP ? Did he/she happen to mention when official notifications are out ?

But from Oct on wards we didn't continue the catch up. I even didn't inform him when I sumbit my Caltech application. I regret that I didn't... Past results show that we can still expect it to send offers next week, in terms of the timeline. But the number of offers indicate that they almost done with sending offers... I start to mentally prepare to attend Princeton

My roommate was watching a movie on full blast at the time, and I was too busy fist-pumping into my bedroom mirror to catch exactly what my POI was trying to say, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned that I should get the official notification next week. Unfortunately, I was too nervous to ask him to repeat himself.

uabiochem Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I had an interesting conversation with the Graduate Admissions Coordinator for SDSU today. I applied to the SDSU/UCSD Joint Degree Program for a PhD in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Apparently this is the first year that they are accepting students straight into the PhD program without starting as Master's students. They are not doing formal campus visitations, nor do they do any formal lab rotations. From our conversation it sounds like most of this happens on the initiative of the students. They also said it will be about a month until they start sending out any firm decisions for the program. Does this raise any red flags for anyone else?

ChemEnthusiast Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 It's a brutal day for Northwestern Applicant. Guess it's not meant to be madcafe 1

Gleevec Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Hey hey, anyone had any news from Berkeley? It seems pretty quiet so far on the results page. For Columbia too?

I received an offer in December from POI, but just recently received an official offer. - my fee waiver just processed as well. Seems like they'll be rolling out offers momentarily if they haven't already. GL
