<p>How is chemistry? D1 will be graduating as an organic chem major. She heard early from 3 doctoral programs: USC, BC, BU, and JHU. After much thought and a long conversation with her Prof/Advisor today, she will be committing to BC for the strength of its program and the passion of their grad students. From what I understand, only 3 other chem seniors have applied directly to grad/professional schools. Of those 3, one was admitted to the MD/Phd program at Columbia and the other was accepted to NW, UCB, and Stanford. Their early admitts were impressive.</p>
