This is what I got from them last night: "Thank you for your application to the Chemistry Ph.D. Program through the Graduate School at Northwestern University. Our applicant pool was extraordinarily strong this year and we regret that we are unable to extend an offer of admission to you. Our Admissions Committee carefully reviews each application to evaluate each candidate’s qualifications for our program. Since so many of our applicants have exemplary chemistry research and academic backgrounds, our admissions process must be highly selective. Unfortunately, many strong applicants must be turned away. Our Admissions Committee has completed its final application review and all decisions are now final. Please accept my best wishes in your future pursuits. Thank you again for considering Northwestern University." But there might still be hope if they haven't sent you anything yet. Best of luck!

Yea I got the exact same form response despite writing a carefully worded email to them. Not too specific...hard to schedule visits when they seem to suggest acceptances could continue for another two weeks, and also hard to stay hopeful when no one has heard anything in 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been accepted, interviewed, and rejected. I don't know how to feel about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raul.carmo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Did anyone hear from Georgia Tech? I've seen many acceptances by late Dec. and early Jan. but no other entry in the admissions board after that. In the past years most offers came out by February but this year many were already sent, so I am not sure what to expect. I don't wanna call the department because the person in charge of admissions-related questions is a faculty member and it feels awkward to interrupt their work just to ask a silly question.

Orgmet Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Anyone heard from Yale or Princeton for inorganic? I figured Yale and Princeton would be done with admissions decisions by the end of the month but I guess not... NervousChemApplicant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwoodward Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Anyone else feeling the pressure to book visit days from prospective PIs? While it's nice to be emailed by them, I find it stressful having to wait to organize visitation due to some schools not having released their verdicts yet.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NervousChemApplicant Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Does someone want to call Yale ?? If princeton doesn’t come out tomorrow, I’d assume it’s a rejection because on their website it says all admitted students will be notified by Feb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those waiting on Berkeley, the admissions officer said applications are still being reviewed and will finish around mid February to the end of February. The Princeton admissions officer said decisions would be made by the end of the month (supposedly tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 applied for catalysis/organic/synthesis and haven't heard back. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
