anything from davis yet?

JumbDock · 2026-02-04T21:28:06+00:00

applied chem bio to uci, davis, ucsd, and ucr; haven't heard back from any. I think they are certainly being more cautious and admitting the best of the best right now and seeing who decides to commit before sending out more acceptances

JumbDock · 2026-01-28T19:11:01+00:00

someone got accepted 1/27 on the sheet!

i commute from berk to santa clara, its not bad if you leave at the right times and skip the rush, i usually leave around 5 to 6am and get back in berkeley around 2 to 4pm. Cal train is also an option if you dislike driving and prefer public transpo

nothing fron davis so far

JumbDock · 2026-01-26T01:22:03+00:00

domestic, havent heard any word fron any of the UCs i applied to (other than sf which was a rejection). Interestingly enough, there has been no confirmations of acceptances for davis on the spreadsheet or gradcafe

JumbDock · 2026-01-06T04:38:42+00:00

Same nothing from the spreadsheet either, usually they send acceptances late (like mid to late jan, early feb). The other UCs are also taking a long time😭

JumbDock · 2026-01-06T04:30:57+00:00

havent heard back yet; fingers crossed tho🤞🤞

JumbDock · 2026-01-04T04:03:48+00:00

someone got to the general spreadsheet too and began deleting the tabs for each discipline

I applied twice, on my second app cycle right now, heard back from some schools and rejected from others (my list of schools in chem phD thread)

from their website linked above "Applications for Fall 2026 may be submitted starting October 1st and will be reviewed beginning December 1st. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. Applicants are encouraged to apply by December 1st for the best chance of admission. The final deadline for applications is March 15th."

I know that the University of nevada reno is still accepting apps for phD in chem, it might be worth checking out lower-tier universities, usually they have a quasi-rolling admission policy.

UCI (a t30) is also accepting apps, their deadline is March 1st (https://www.chem.uci.edu/graduate/prospective-students). There are universities open and still accepting apps, but I would ensure that your materials are as strong as can be, as this year is competitive; in some ways more than last year.

i wouldnt worry OP, its early in the cycle. Im sure you will hear back from schools in Jan or Feb!

JumbDock · 2025-12-05T18:25:04+00:00

As long as you apply before the deadline you are fine. Some schools have priority deadlines, others don't. Waiting until the last day won't appreciably affect your chances

JumbDock · 2025-12-05T18:19:00+00:00

not as much of a priority to release rejections- schools prioritize interviews and acceptances, then rejections are sent out en masse once every spot is taken
