Anything from Brown, Columbia, or NYU? Those are the last ones I still have some hope for...

Got in Masters in organic at NYU last week. But I think they did not review masters/PhD separately.

What makes you think they didn't review separately? I think they're pretty different programs so I feel like they would review separately.

The deadlines are the same. And based on what I have seen, they review in terms of specialization. So computational chem heard back first. Some other people applying for PhD in organic track also hear back around the same time as I did.

Did anyone hear from Scripps for organic?

My coworker received an invite for interview Friday but that was a special case. Based on the email she received it seems like they were done sending out invites. Could be wrong though

I emailed, they said they are still reviewing applications and the outcome of interview/rejected will be sent in the next few weeks.

Got my rejection from Columbia as well. At least this year they sent it in February, last year they did so in late March. 

So judging from the tone of the email would you say that it's mostly rejections at this point? Last year they emailed me on the 21st of Feb, interviews are right around the corner too 

So apparently my friend who works at Columbia right now the PI said that there were only like 2 spots for inorganic open this year, so they had to turn down a lot of people.

Edit for gg.rose: Judging from the tone of the email would you say that it's mostly rejections at this point? Last year they emailed me on the 21st of Feb, interviews are right around the corner too 

To be honest the tone was very neutral, but Im not sure.. I feel it would be quite late now to receive an offer of an interview. Im not too fussed, I only applied as my supervisor wanted me to - but i wish you luck!

Is anyone still waiting for UIllinois Chicago? I don't want to call the department again to ask for an update because I have done so 3 times already. The final deadline for sending applications is today so I hope they will be done reviewing the remaining candidates until the of the month. If someone have an update please comment this post.

Those are helpful information! But it's strange that the school still hasn't sent an invitation to the open house…

I just called UChicago and they said that decisions will be available by the 15th of February and that they pushed the date back. I have a very good feeling that they wouldn't just push the date back for no reason other than that they are still making acceptances

Did nothing become of this again? Still haven't heard back from them.
