Notes
For people who didn’t receive any formal notification yet: you are either rejected or waitlisted silently like me. My potential PI asked the graduate admission committee chair and emailed me about this decision. The department has sent the first set of offers at the beginning of this year, so they are currently waiting for those students to accept or decline their offers. It seems that the final decision for us won’t be released until sometime in April since it’s the deadline for people who have been admitted to make the choice. I’m placed on the waitlist because I don’t have a high GPA (3.4/4.0, about average GPA at a top chem B.S. program) & enough research experience (2 yrs of research unrelates to my intended direction + 1 yr of relevant research + 1 relevant publication as the 4th author), just for your reference.
