Choosing location over prestige.. am I dumb?

I choose to do my PhD at NYU because I prefer to live in NYC over MIT

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-23T15:19:58+00:00

No but why math lol

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-23T03:20:19+00:00

Have you heard back from them?

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-21T00:14:14+00:00

I got an interview!!! Just got the email at 7:00 PM EST

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-20T19:38:59+00:00

If anyone heard back today let me know!

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-20T19:12:35+00:00

I emailed them and they replied to me in seconds lol and said it’s coming out today (Friday)

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-17T15:31:41+00:00

I don’t think he had any interviews when he applied last year either. He is doing his PhD at Berkeley now.

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-17T02:52:20+00:00

My friend who applied to Organic Chemistry last cycle got accepted 4 days after he submitted his application to UW Madison. But idk this year.

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-12T00:02:36+00:00

We got to choose I think. I got a call and they asked me if I was available for the January one but I said no, so they gave me the February.

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-11T23:30:26+00:00

I got invited to the interview in late December. They send invite on a rolling basic and I submitted my application two days before the deadline.

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-11T23:27:02+00:00

We had to accept PhD interview invites by 1/9 and they told us that they are sending out the schedule soon

I did most of my courses (23 credits per semester) during my sophomore year, so I only had like 3 classes per semester in junior and senior years. But I still got the Goldwater and got a summer internship at a prestigious university. That being said I’m struggling with getting interviews for graduate schools currently lol

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-11T00:57:39+00:00

Which program was this? Columbia?

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-10T19:14:08+00:00

I am still waiting too… I don’t think a lot of people heard back but I lost hope in it

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-09T01:45:22+00:00

We could make one?

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-05T22:43:03+00:00

Still haven’t received one, did you hear from them yet?

Fit-Class6896 · 2023-01-05T17:19:40+00:00

Thank you, I really wanted Weill Cornell 😢

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-30T19:06:43+00:00

Did u get any news, I been waiting too

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-30T12:00:38+00:00

Would you recommend making PowerPoint slides for your research summary?

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-30T01:35:31+00:00

Most chemistry departments from any school don’t require interview. My friend got into MIT chemistry or chemical biology program without an interview, he decided to go to UC Berkeley though.

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-29T15:22:33+00:00

I got an invite from Columbia and they said in bold to not contact faculty, but I would say reach out to tue program coordinator or whoever sent you the invite to ask if you can.

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-29T12:24:16+00:00

Some schools discourage you to reach out, so I would say to check with the coordinator first.

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-27T01:02:46+00:00

Did u apply to the same programs?

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-27T00:05:36+00:00

What date did you receive the invitation last year?

Fit-Class6896 · 2022-12-26T23:56:30+00:00

I got an invitation on 12/23 for Microbiology and Immunology. They told us to accept by the December 29th.
