University Of Chicago Graduate School Admission Results

4 years of research (2 in undergraduate, 2 in M.S) with 2 publications as first author. Moderate GPA (weakness), TOEFL 103 (S22), general GRE scores (Verbal 47%), average chem GRE scores. 2 good and 1 okay letters of recommendation.

Competitive GPA, 2 years U.G. research, 1 internship in industry, 103 TOEFL, 320 GRE, 3 good references (2 from big schools, 1 from big company)

High GPA and GRE scores, triple major, 3.5 years research, 2 publications (1 in an ACS journal) and a 1st author manuscript being written, research internship in industry, 3 great LoRs and 2 average ones. This was my first choice and I thought I was a great fit, so I'm quite disappointed.

3year research in biochemistry, no pub, research interest in chemical biology, cell biology, proteomics, structural biology. I think u chicago may not really fit my interest and is really competitive as I receive other programs interview.

2 yrs work exp, 1 year research, several awards, manuscript in progress.

one year research in biochemistry as a research assistant and one year in chemistry as BSc project. GRE sub==99%, 3 great letters of recommendation. No publication. Many awards and honors. Someone should be ashamed!!!

Shocked!

3.7 gpa, 165/165/5.5 GRE score, 61% on subject, 2 great LoRs 1 okay, 1 year research experience, 1 poster presentation. Can't win them all!

1 pub, 4 great LOR, 2 years research experience and lots of presentations; not that surprised but not mad - already got into my first pick :) Good luck everyone!

2 years undergrad research. 1 publication

I thought I had enough research experience. Had two 2nd authored pubs in good journals and decent enough (at least) LORs. Maybe mediocre CGPA killed it.
