I assume we'll probably get some closure tomorrow.

Why tomorrow?

[MurphysLaw]

Received a rejection letter from Boston College on Friday.... still havent heard from 5 other schools...

[BioChemie]

Brown releases at the end of this week.

Well Stanford rejections are out, and I would know, because I got one. 

Pretty much mentally attending UT Austin right now.

I guess it's only fitting that as a Berkeley student I'd be a Stanford reject.

[dells_of_bittersweet]

Ah MIT, where art thou?

Anyone still waiting on Vanderbilt?

Me! Any idea when we should hear back?

Based on past results, I would think we would hear sometime this week.  It's encouraging that no acceptances have been posted, but I feel like it's getting pretty late in the game.

Wherefore art thou, MIT? Deny thy program and refuse thy chemical concentration.

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my application,

And I'll no longer be a Caltech applicant.

Me ! I emailed them last week and I got a reply today telling me that the adcom is hoping to make decisions within the next few weeks and that they will email me if they do come to a decision

I did an interview. Haven't heard anything.

I was asked to send an updated transcript last Tuesday.  I would think they have to be close to sending out decisions at this point.

So I called the MIT chemistry graduate department to inquire about my application status.  They confirmed that they are still making offers, and that if you haven't received a rejection email, your application is still under consideration.  They told me that I could expect a response in the next "couple weeks", but also reassured me that if I was accepted I would have time to register for a graduate visit weekend.

Looking at the submissions page, though, it looks like rejection emails might be trickling out again.

How about Caltech? are they still making offers?

I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope, judging by last year's results, though I also wouldn't expect a rejection email anytime soon.

Interesting to know, tho last year there were no acceptances after they started rejecting people, so you're probably right that there's probably another wave of rejections coming.

[Say No To Entropy]

Anyone still think there's hope for UPenn? They seem to have sent out a bunch of acceptances around January 20th this year. I'm feeling doubtful at this point...

Denied from Northeastern University. This is not a good start...
