Decent LORs, 2 second authored publications in good journals.

I figured these stats might help future applicants. Small liberal arts college. ACS certified. 3.91 major GPA. Honors College with thesis. Graduated a semester early for personal reasons explained in personal statement. 3 years of NIH funded org chem research including 1 summer fellowship and 2 winter breaks. Relevant work experience: 5 semesters working as a TA, tutor and recitation leader + 2 semesters of stockroom work and WA for org chem. No publication besides thesis. Multiple presentations: 3 oral at local conferences (won first prize for one of them) + 1 poster. minority and first generation. two undergraduate ACS awards (inorganic and pchem). 3 strong letters of rec (one from UF alumni). Personal statement centered around 3 research groups at UF that I might potentially be interested in. Chem club secretary and social media chair (if it matters lol). Got into higher ranked programs, but UF is definitely in my top 10, so I'm still debating. Good luck to all!

I actually find this hilarious since I got into much higher ranked chemistry programs. They must have figured out that NYU was a safety choice I guess. Anyway, good luck to those still waiting!

No interview.

Got accepted to top 5 programs? Super weird.

Background: 2 co-authored papers, 1 book chapter, 1 patent, 10 conferences, previous research assistantships

Has anyone heard back from SDSU yet? Their silence is making me worried... File has been under departmental review since Jan 28. I did apply sort of late to the game (Jan 16), but hoping to hear back soon.

Waited so long for the decision :(

Received Chancellor's Fellowship Award. 3.39 GPA, 3yrs research experience, 2yrs tutor/peer mentor, balance full-time academics with 2 other jobs, above average on general GRE, bombed subject test. Thankful, this program is a hidden gem.

3.39 GPA, 3yrs research experience, 2yrs tutor/peer mentor, balance full-time academics with 2 other jobs, above average on general GRE, bombed subject test. Was surprised but I'm thinking it was my subject test that did me in...

Received my rejection through email on 12th of March. Best of luck !

Kind of surprised as this was my backup school. I got into UCLA and Northwestern which I am more keen on. UCSD does have an advantage of being in an excellent biotech area. Congrats to those who were admitted. 3.3 gpa overall, 3.9 upper division gpa. 67th percentile chem GRE, 61st verbal, 61st quant, 3.5 writing, ACS award, 1 yr of undergrad research exp. with manuscript in prep. 2 years of research in pharmaceutical R&D

:(

Well, cuz I sent them email to ask my application status, they tell me they have sent out 90% acceptances, and I am waitlisted. And they will send all the results by the end of this month. Please tell them if you don't want to go! Thanks so much!
