flyingsuperman Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 i got the invitation to interview of UT Southwestern medical center. I wonder what types of question I could expect?

Expand Really? Awww. What are they looking for then? Tsk. I really wanted to go to Seattle. Tss. I can't go on with my NTU application since they want me to do research that's not in my line of interest. I guess the search continues. How did Northwestern go?

I know a few got accepted, but does anyone know whether all admission offers have been sent out? Expand i got an offer from duke last monday (jan 30th.) my guess is that duke hasn't finished sending out offers yet. best of luck! RazaXo and MoonPie 2
chemistkat Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Hi all. Was admitted to UCSD last week and I'm ecstatic since I have terrible stats. To give you an idea... Undergrad Institution: Top liberal arts college Major(s): ChemistryGPA in Major: ~3.1Overall GPA: ~3.1Position in Class: for chemistry majors, at the bottomType of Student: Female, low-income, US citizen but not a CA resident GRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 153V: 157W: 4.0Chemistry: 29th percentileResearch Experience: 3 labs: one for half a year (1 presentation); one for a summer REU (2 presentations); two years at currently lab for senior thesis. No publications. I only applied to schools in California (I'm in the northeast and am tired of the cold winter months): UCLA, UCSB, USC, Berkeley, Stanford, and of course UCSD. I started this process telling myself that all I need is one acceptance so I'm satisfied and will most likely be attending UCSD sk8er determinant, someth1ngAus, Dibenzofulvene and 2 others 5

Obviously, you must've gotten some absurdly strong letters or written a great statement. Psyduck_1 1
RazaXo Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Hi, anybody still waiting for UCLA? have they sent out all the good news?
KR_ChemIntern Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 Any notification from Wisconsin yet?? it might be bad sign..
chem1995 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Haven't heard back from UPenn, I know they sent out visitation weekend invites; is this bad news if I haven't received an email? Also, does anyone if UNC is still accepting people? I haven't heard back from them as well.

I'm organics...so hopefully it works out! Their second visitation weekend is March 24-26th.
LetsgetCOSY Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I confirmed with the admissions office that essentially all of the admissions invites have been sent out for Scripps (La Jolla). Formal rejections should go out sometime next week. Twas my first choice. Sigh. Haha

My previous guesses were wrong for UCLA (or I didn't get accepted and will receive a rejection later).. lol
Doge_Alchemist Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I have received rejections from UNC and Wisconsin, and I'm still waiting for UCLA. I'm in organic by the way.
Dibenzofulvene Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I'm currently on the Uchicago visit!! It's cold. matsguy 1

chem95 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Any idea which schools in the US are still accepting applications?
Man Cheetah Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'm still waiting to hear back from UNC, NYU, Boston College and Emory. Has anyone contacted any of these schools to see if they're still admitting people?

LetsgetCOSY Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Hey everyone. Since I see some of you have already started your visitations, I was wondering if you could provide some insight into attire. What are most people wearing? I have my first visitation with a program I've been admitted to this upcoming week. I'm a male for perspective. Jessiewicz 1
