Anyone been accepted into UC Berkeley or Harvard for chemical biology? For Berkeley, I applied through chemistry but I don't think I've seen anyone explicitly say they got accepted for chemistry with interest in chemical biology. For Harvard, I know some people had interviews/acceptances for the chemical biology PhD program, but people have also gotten rejections? Maybe people were rejected from the chemistry and chemical biology department - the names are confusing ;__; either way, could anyone give more details? #dying

My guess would be if you dont hear anything from them during the first two weeks of Feb. it is most likely rejection. I am also waiting but I dont have high hope.

For those who are interested... just heard this from Columbia:

"We are still making a few offers.  We also need to determine if we will have a wait list!

Check back in a week or so.

 

Thank you for your patience!"

Waiting for it too......but if last year is any clue the decisions should have been out by now 

[BioChemie]

Brown is still in the process of making decisions!

Berkely organic anyone ?!

[Shine the Light]

So excited to have been offered admission to Carnegie Mellon University!!!

[EMDO]

I got accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill's organic program today. The email was in my clutter/junk folder, so remember to check there for emails!

[Solaf]

Another email... Apparently scripps sent out 99% of their selections. Rejections will go out on Monday 02/01.

Like the person actually said "99% of invitations were sent out" yet continues to say "final selection(s) are still being made"

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, what is your field for chemistry? And who was the person to contact you about your acceptance?

I am materials and the email was from Kristie Boering, though the tone of the email implied they aren't finished making decisions.

Congratulations! I am also waiting for results from Stanford. Do you mind telling me when did you receive the interview invitation?

[JoeZ]

Has anyone heard back from Stanford and MIT? So anxious waiting for these two schools.

sure  I just got the invitation today. but I didn't mail my official transcrips earlier on. They just reiceived it one week ago I think

I'm international

P.S. I also never hear anything from MIT. but this might also because of the transcrips

Yeah, I've also heard back from everywhere except Stanford/MIT.  Here's hoping we hear back in the next couple days.

"The checking of all the records and official response of the graduate school takes a few weeks, but this is just a formality in your case" this is the relevant part of the email! There's definitely still hope. I thought I was getting denied because I hadn't heard back yet.
