so47 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Alright, the count is in! Can finally post my battle record Accepted: Cornell, UNC-CH, RPI Rejected: Yale, Dartmouth The decision is hands down between Cornell and UNC. Did both the Visitation weekends, and currently stewing on it to consider my options I am very happy with my situation though!
chemchem Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I just declined my offer from Michigan. I hope it helps someone in the waiting list. I would also encourage people not to wait until April 15 to decline offers, (if you have multiple offers, have done the visitation weekends and are more than sure you will not be attending one/few of them). this really helps the people in the waiting list.

turgotine Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Hello, I am an international student applying for a PhD in organic chemistry. So far I have been admitted at NCSU, Purdue University and Ohio State University. Still waiting from UVA, does anyone have heard from them? I keep checking my status everyday but no word about any decision, do you think there is any hope? Thank you!
Nucleophile Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Rejected by UT Austin today - checked their online site (https://utdirect.utexas.edu/admissions/status_check.WBX). I still have 4 left though. Best of luck to the rest of you!
jags Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi, This is my present situation Accepted- UIUC, U-Washington Rejected- Yale, MIT, UCSF (Chemical Biology), JHU-SOM Interviewed- Rockefeller Pending- UT Austin, UC-Boulder, Columbia Waiting for Boulder and Rockefeller's decision (liked many research groups there). Most likely to take up UIUC. Any of you going to UIUC for sure ?
Tarheel_or_Bluedevil? Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 To the people who visited UNC during it's first visitation weekend. What was it like? Was it set up differently from other visitation weekends you'd been to?
Ziegler1988 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Scripps and Columbia will let you know your decision if you email them. I finally have all my decisions now: went 4 for 12 but I applied to way too many reach schools.
turgotine Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 nO word from UVA... I will refuse Purdue Offer if it could help somebody to get in! Good luck people
so47 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 To the people who visited UNC during it's first visitation weekend. What was it like? Was it set up differently from other visitation weekends you'd been to? I went to the first visitation weekend there. I went right after my Cornell visit, and I felt that it was set up a bit differently. It was more "independent" than Cornell's, as in I felt like there was less opportunity to interact with the grad students, you were on your own a bit more. You kind of had to seek grad students out to talk to them, whereas my other visit had more events that the prospectives got specific time with the grads. UNC had your host give you an informal tour when you got there on Friday, then to be honest my host didn't talk to me again when I was there. I really felt like there were only a few grad students I got to talk to, and they were the really extroverted ones who made a point to be involved. I also felt like it was more independent in the sense that you had to make your way around on your own, to and from the hotel and your appts, etc. I guess overall just a less structured approach than my other visit. Which depends on the each person, it can be good and bad. It gave some time to walk around on your own and figure things out, get your bearings geography wise, take pics, etc. I even had time to go to the hotel to take a nap, so it was slightly more relaxed schedule wise than my other visit. Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any more specific questions.
Chem Grad Student Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Is there any one who are waiting the respond from UT Austin and Colorado State Uni?
Nucleophile Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Is there any one who are waiting the respond from UT Austin and Colorado State Uni? Did you check the UT app status site? That's how I found out - they never sent me an e-mail nor a letter.
Chem Grad Student Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Did you check the UT app status site? That's how I found out - they never sent me an e-mail nor a letter. I check the UT app status site every day, it has not changed until now. I hope receive the decision from them soon. Even Good or Bad
Chem Grad Student Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Get rejection from UT Austin by Web, Mar 26
Shiryatsya Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 didn't want to double post, was wondering if anyone had any advice.
