Instead of opening entirely new topic, we can just continue on this one.  Let's hear where you applied to and where you got accepted.

I applied to:
Clemson, NCSU, U of Cincinnati and GA tech.

My original list included a lot more schools, but I decided to apply to only 4. 

[Mitch]

Nah, lets do a new topic thread.

I applied to Michigan, Boston College, IU, UCSB, Colorado State, and Purdue.

Friday I was accepted to UCSB and Colorado State...we'll see about the others.  I hope others have similar luck. Also, put what area you want to study (if known).  I want to do a bit of organic.

[Berettagtz]

here is my final list of schools I applied to:  NCSU, GA tech, U of Cincinnati, Clemson and U at Buffalo.
I have yet to send the application fees and transcripts to UC, Clemson and U at Buffalo.  I am applying to analytical chemistry program.

besides the normal encouragement to finish the applications, I haven't heard from any schools yet.  The hardest part is waiting...

I applied to U of Chicago, U of Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue (both the Chemistry and the Pulse Program), and U of Michigan - Ann Arbor.

All of them for organic chemistry (the pulse program was for the chemical biology lab group).

I just got my acceptance letter from U of Minnesota.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of organic do you want to study?

[macman104]

If you don't mind me asking, what type of organic do you want to study?

I expressed in my statements a strong interest in natural product synthesis and drug development or at least medically relevant synthesis.  Not so much interested in method development or new synthetic strategies, but more taking existing chemistry and applying them in new and interesting ways.

I got an email from NCSU stating that their graduate committee is in the process of making their decisions.  Hopefully I will hear again from them sometime this week.

[Mitch]

UIUC decisions are out:

Accepted to Purdue, and a friend also just heard back from Purdue, so other departments as well besides Chem are sending out letters.  Got rejected from U of Chicago (is it improper to inquire about a rejection?).

Seems unusual to do so.

Hi, got accepted into Northwestern on Mon and Berkeley on Fri. Still waiting to hear back from Stanford, Wisconsin, UIUC, PSU and Toronto.

[Berettagtz]

If you don't mind, could you also specify how they contacted you (mail, email, phone).

[theo]

Both via email. Was pretty surprise I heard back so quickly since I'm an international student.

Mitch, I know this isn't your area, but how's the physical chem dept at Berkeley?

[Mitch]

Technically, I'm in the physical chem division. It is very good program. The one thing Berkeley doesn't have is an Analytical program, otherwise it is strong in everything else.
