In @ UNC (Chapel Hill) :^)

My dear friends,
Let me to announce the great news: I was accepted to Univercity of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) to PhD program in Chemistry.
One of my top choices (#16 for Chem over all and #1 for Analytical Chemistry) with a lot of really outstanding research groups.
Tuition waiver, TA/RA + small fellowship.

The last year admission rate for international students at my program was about 4%.

Let me express my deep gratitude to whole TM community - for your support, thoughts and everything else.
I want to say special thanks to Erin - this forum is really makes difference

Good luck to all of you!

Sincerely,
Holden.

Thanks, Shoaibakram

It is about 35-30. Was kind of safe for me also - but you never know about these California schools, if you are foreigner.
I have a couple ideas why they rejected me: my TSE is 45 <50. Also, my AGRE was not that outstanding and my undergraduate GPA was just silly. There is some chances that they did not even read my application&CV.

Good luck to you there!
