I'm hoping you get an acceptance ochemist! Mine is still under review When did you submit your application? I submitted on Dec 1st. Aww thank you!! I submitted mine on November 19th, but my last recommender sent his letter on Nov 30th. I'm sure they'll review yours soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibenzofulvene Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Also, I decided to not apply to University of Pittsburg, University of Maryland College Park, or UT San Antonio for various reasons. So, my final school list is: UCLA, UC Irvine, Northwestern, Scripps, UW Madison, UPenn, UNC Chapel Hill, Purdue, Boston University, U Michigan Ann Arbor, UIUC, Yale, Princeton, Stanford Sending good vibes to you all!

Dibenzofulvene Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 My Northwestern Application is "Complete." However, my Stanford application is "Incomplete." From previous years, I believe that this is just a computer error. They are pretty good with notifying applicants whose files are incomplete. Anyone else applying to University of Chicago?
