Hey, this is me.. I got a rough acceptance a few weeks ago at Cambridge but..the professors industry focused and I want to go into Academia..

 

Waiting really anxiously for my other top pick, Northwestern... Man, I check the portal so often, hah.

 

I also applied to Cornell, Stanford, Berkeley, Univ. of Oregon, and Rice.

Where were you accepted? Other people have started being accepted into the unit i applied to which is making me incredibly nervous. 

I was accepted to University of Rochester (in NY). It is a smaller program but the closest school to my family.

Hi, have you already received the official offer letter from Cambridge? I am also applying for a PhD position in Chemistry Department, but my application status has been "under review by department" for two months... I had the interview with the potential supervisor before I submitted my application, and I had another interview with the directors of graduate education and admission this week which is for their scholarship selection. I hate to wait for the results...

Nope. I eventually decided not to attend Cambridge and informed the professor. He had basically said he would get me in had I chosen to go there.. Which I didnt, so no letters went out.
