ChemDogg Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 To the poster above me waiting for USC - call them, they'll tell you.
srg35 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I haven't heard anything either, and I'm not sure what it means. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! Just got a letter from MIT. Denied! Though, just got back from visiting Pitt and was pretty pleased with their department. Anyone else applying to Pitt?
so47 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Rejected from Yale. Got a nice but short response to an email I sent to the department asking about my application status. Just glad at this point to have an answer, sick of playing the waiting game and having it over my head. Plus I think I like Cornell and UNC-CH better anyhow

so47 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 You going to UNC-CH this weekend for visitation? Yes sir! Plane gets in around 3pm. I assume a certain mountain man is making an appearance there as well?
srg35 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Well, game's over. Final tally: UNC-CH - accepted. U of Chicago - rejected. U of Pittsburgh - accepted. MIT - rejected. UPenn - rejected. Yes sir! Plane gets in around 3pm. I assume a certain mountain man is making an appearance there as well? That's right, I'll probably be down there the same time, if not a little later. I'm driving, leaving that day.
gmr02 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Game is over for me as well... batted under .500 MIT, UPenn, Princeton, UNC-CH: rejected Boston University, Johns Hopkins, Emory: accepted
chandramoulipalit Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 got a reject from UPenn today accepted: CU Boulder rejected: UPenn waiting: Cornell, TAMU
so47 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Got a rejection from Dartmouth today...which I find very amusing, since it was one of my "safety" schools, and I was accepted at my top 2 choices. I heard some stories about people getting into their top choices but not safeties, I just didn't expect it to happen! I'm wondering if I will be rejected from my other safety (RPI) at this point, since I haven't heard from them lol.
chemmefatale Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I have a weird predicament. I was accepted to WUSTLÂ and I've already visited them, picked out professors, envisioned my life there, etc. Yesterday I found out that UCD had rejected a person from the results page, but nothing comes up for me. Furthermore, I am waiting for Washington and Boulder to get back to me. Are they waiting for funding for me? What are the visit dates for Washington and UC Davis? I want to plan a vacation before I fully immerse myself in grad student life.
spectralScatter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 How grown up are you feeling right now? Because the advice I was given (aside from that TSRI is an excellent institution) is that going there would be more like going to a job than continuing the college experience. There are no undergraduates there, no undie run etc etc Both would be a good starting point for the kind of career you want. I am also interested in UCSD and I saw on their chemistry page that about 65% of their phds go on to work in academia. Maybe that just means they cant find a job so they all become post-docs it is very much a 'job' type of feel. but there is great science and placement. jeez decisions ahhhh

cluelessgrad Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Has anyone heard from TAMU or boston college.......I called up TAMu and they said that decisions are still being made As far as boston college is concerned they said that my application is still under review though they had a Jan 2 deadline....does that mean i have been waitlisted?
Ziegler1988 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Has anyone heard from TAMU or boston college.......I called up TAMu and they said that decisions are still being made As far as boston college is concerned they said that my application is still under review though they had a Jan 2 deadline....does that mean i have been waitlisted? I got my acceptance from BC the middle of last month by postal mail; their visit weekend is at the end of this month so I would imagine they'll be making the rest of their decisions soon.
cluelessgrad Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I am waiting on TAMU too Oh! thats good to know......atleast I am not the only one....I called up the grad office and they said they are still reviewing applications for international students and will let them know by end of this month so i guess nothing left to do but wait
nucleophilicity Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Just got rejected from Yale via the "view decision" link on my application page. Final tally, Accepted: UW-Madison, Columbia, UNC-CH, Northwestern Rejected: Yale I will be accepting UW-Madison's admissions offer.
so47 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Just got rejected from Yale via the "view decision" link on my application page. Same, though I had emailed them and found out earlier this week. Glad to just finally get a decision, was so tired of waiting. I'm still waiting on a safety school which I don't care about anymore anyway. I guess I should probably email them just so I can give my final count as well
chandramoulipalit Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Received an admit with funding ffrom TAMU today morning....yay!! still waiting for Cornell but dont think thats gonna happen...so mostly will be going to TAMU applied: UPenn, Cornell, TAMU, CU Boulder Accepted: CU Boulder, TAMU Rejected: UPenn Still waiting: Cornell

Nucleophile Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Called UT Austin today and they said that they've made most of their admissions already, but they will be making a few more. I'm keeping high hopes!
cluelessgrad Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I checked on the results search page......another international student has heard from TAMU regarding admit......Since I havenot heard anything from them yet I guess its a reject for me
