appchem Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 10 hours ago, Organic for days said: I'm not sure, a lot of schools will just plain accept you, but I know that schools are more likely to interview international applicants rather than accept them right away, whether that be over Skype or in person. And what do interviewers usually cover? I'm assuming the usual topics - research, goals, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEnthusiast Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think most school will only interview you if they really have doubt about their decision or they just want to test your English skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluorineforlife Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Is anyone applying to Stanford? Clearly they have received all my LORs and official transcripts as they updated the website like 2 weeks ago but my status is still "Incomplete". I am not worrying too much as Stanford admission team seemed to be nice in recent years when they emailed people to let them know when their application was missing something. I would email them to ask but the uni website says it's close for Xmas. Wonder anyone is like me. That might mean they somehow haven't updated everyone's status yet at all.

ChemEnthusiast Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) My application is in the same situation. They received everything but still mark it as incomplete. I wouldn't sweat about it tho. Edited December 23, 2015 by ChemEnthusiast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My transcripts although had to fly from the UK, arrived about 2 weeks ago. And they still haven't changed the status. Seem like I don't need to sweat over this and just let them enjoy their Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemEnergy Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hey all! Wanted to get some input on my profile since some of you have already been accepted! I applied to Berkeley, UNC, Colorado Boulder, Washington, and Notre Dame. Stats: Chem major and math minor; GRE- 160 V, 163 Q, 4.0 AW; 3 years research experience @ university; 1 summer program at my university and 1 international REU; Chem GPA 4.0, Overall GPA 3.97; 3 conference presentations (A poster at PITTCON in which I won an award, a poster at ACS 2015, and a presentation at a symposium on international research at ACS 2015); General, Orgo, and Analytical Tutor; Orgo and Analytical Academic Fellow; Work in the stock room of my school's chem department I haven't heard from any university yet, although, I didn't submit any applications until mid-late November. The waiting is obviously a little nerve-wracking, so just thought I'd see what some other people thought. Thanks for taking a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted into Notre Dame in November with a much lower stats than yours and I also submitted mid November. I think my current research project fits one of their group really well. I think you should be able to get an acceptance from them with your stat. I dont know about other schools so I cant give you any insight but your stats seem impressive so I think you have a good chance with each of them. Most school will send out their decision in the week of 1/4 so dont worry about it too much and enjoy your holidays.

My last LOR submitted on like 11/30 so I figured that didn't leave very much time for the possibility of early acceptances. Enjoy your holidays as well and goo luck with the rest of your apps!
