chemicalcloud Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I received an offer from UC Riverside yesterday which includes Dean's Distinguished Fellowship (~25k/year). First acceptance so far. On 1/6/2016 at 2:49 PM, swiftninja said: Did anyone else already get accepted to USC? Do they not have an interview? I did not apply to USC but a friend of mine did and she was recently accepted (via e-mail, I believe) without an interview. She applied for organic chemistry there.

I'm crossing my fingers for Irvine, but at this point its clear I wasn't one of their top choices. I've heard they highly value research experience there, which may explain why they weren't eager to accept me. How much research exp do you have if you dont mind me asking? So I was waiting for Irvine as well, and just decided to check that grad tracker link they provided back in November when I completed my application, and saw an acceptance letter. I have not yet gotten an email or call or anything, so I was pretty surprised to see that I had been accepted. The pdf was marked 2 days ago. If you haven't checked that tracker in awhile, maybe you're in the same situation as I was and just haven't been notified by email or phone yet!

Just saw my acceptance on the tracker as well, with the letter dated from yesterday

FTY720 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 ^ I'm sorry. I'm sure more acceptances will come out soon! Good luck!
metallocene2015 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Congrats to everyone who's heard back from UC Irvine ! I am anxiously awaiting my results too, but my graduate application tracker still says "under review". Perhaps it takes them longer to review international applications ?
fluorineforlife Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I think they would take in consideration the US people first. I'm still waiting for all the places I'm applying to.
onceinalifetime Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Results search shows many UCI chem acceptances going out between mid Jan to mid Feb last year. They dont do interviews so it'll just come out of the blue lol
Orgo for days Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 It's been a bit quiet, but I'm feeling Princeton this week after looking up previous decision dates, best of luck, guys and gals! At least the rejection comes quick for those of us who don't make it.

NoOrgoPlease Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Penn asked for an update on transcripts from the Fall. So that hopefully means they are close to getting to/finishing reviewing all the apps!

Say No To Entropy Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 36 minutes ago, NoOrgoPlease said: UPenn! Now you have me nervous! I didn't receive such an e-mail. UPenn wants your fall semester transcript? Is that normal procedure?
sarl Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Got an acceptance email from a POI from UPenn a couple hours ago! From previous years it looks they admit people into feb so they are probably still going through apps. I wonder too, based on the way they wanted the SOP formatted, if they don't admit by sub-field in which case notifications could be spread out. Edited January 13, 2016 by sarl

I have no idea whether it is normal procedure! It just made me really want a decision even more.

What sub-field are you if you don't mind me asking? And did they ask you for your fall transcripts?

dells_of_bittersweet Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I see on the results page that a lot of people have been accepted to Yale. I applied but have not heard from them either way. Time to be concerned? I have 3 years research experience, good letters, GPA 3.53, GREq 75%, GREv 97%, GREw 92%, didn't send GREchem because it was 33%. I have been accepted to UT Austin with a TA offer. I have applied to MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Northwestern, Yale, UT Austin, Michigan, and Colorado.

In previous years people were still getting accepted until late January/early February, so you've still got plenty of chances to get accepted. If you can get into UTA, you've got a good chance at Yale too, as well as many of those other schools.
