Some people have been waitlisted and accepted a while ago. Princeton used to send out rejections right after acceptances - they definitely changed their approach this year. We'll find out soon. Weird, I wonder if any more acceptances are going to come out aside from the first wave that happened a few weeks ago...

As I applied late I'm not sure if my application has received full consideration and by this time I'm rejected or if it's still being reviewed. I got the call on January 19. Their visit weekend is 2/23-2/25, and the deadline to RSVP is 2/14 so they might do another wave. BTW, I applied for physical chem. raul.carmo 1

PhilChem94 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Has anyone here accepted an offer from University of Houston?

I got my application decision from UH last January 22. I am so worried about my application it shows under review in the status. Are you international or domestic??

Zinniak Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I have a feeling that the rejection from Princeton is on its way... should probably receive it by this afternoon.
raul.carmo Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Someone just posted an admission from SUNY Buffalo in the admissions board. If you're this person, can you please let me know the date that your application was set to " Under committee review"? Mine changed to that on 01/29 so I am hoping to hear from them this week.
NervousChemApplicant Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Welp, just got my Princeton rejection

Seems like UNC and UW are lost causes for me. I know someone who has an interview from Scripps (organic)

She did seem to think that more admissions were forthcoming. Piggybacking off of that, in case anyone else is waiting for Caltech...I also called them today and they told me that most admissions offers have been sent out. She did say that a few more offers would go out, but that the majority of offers had been extended already. That is useful to know about Caltech - thanks! Is that for all of Chemistry or a specific subfield? Can I ask who you called? When I called I got a generic unhelpful reply.... Edited January 31, 2018 by rwoodward
Orgmet Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Do you guys think Berkeley is a lost cause now? I got a really generic "we're still reviewing your application" response when I asked them about my application status but I'm not sure what to believe anymore... 1 hour ago, NervousChemApplicant said: Welp, just got my Princeton rejection Same here. I'm expecting the same from Yale at this point since they also had the wave of acceptances come out already.
chem65gcfe Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Has anyone received an MIT acceptance since Jan 20th? They say they are rolling/still under review, but yesterday it looks like they sent out a wave of rejections. Does anybody know whether acceptance is still possible or if it is rejection from here on out?

I called Alison Ross (she's the grad program coordinator I think) and I kind of had to coax it out of her, she was kind of unhelpful at first.

I think Berkeley is done, PIs have called and also acceptance letters from the portal/graduate school have gone out. They're also well into reserving hotels/planning the visit weekends.

I was accepted to NYU Chemistry (Inorganic) yesterday via e-mail. The director of grad studies mentioned that the department had completed its review process, so hopefully you will hear from them soon. Best wishes. CsChem and singinglupines 1 1

A.Guillard Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Has anyone heard from Vanderbilt, Brown, or John Hopkins? The waiting game is killing my soul.
