So guys, I have been accepted to some high tier US graduate schools

shit how do you know you've been accepted? it's only January.

I applied to 8 and have heard back from 6. I've heard that the longer it takes for schools to get back to you the less likely it is you get in because they wait to flat out deny people in case people reject offers of admission.

Was your deadline Dec 15th? Because it was for mine (physics phd programs) and most of the places said wait until march to hear back.

It was December 15th. Maybe this is just a difference between physics and chemistry. Good luck!

Thank you friend. Best to your situation as well. If I get in to the top tier unis I applied to, I'll be sure to make a thread with a fat dog as well.

what schools?

I actually have a buddy getting his chem PhD at UNC Chapel Hill and he couldnt be happier

what has your research been in (specifically), and what areas have to applied to join?

now SIT THERE UNTIL YOU'RE NOT FAT.

OP, it's hard to justify a PhD in chemistry, physics, or biology in this market for 99% of people. Only you can decide if it's worth the risk of ending up in at a dead end with no reasonable job prospects at the end.

Why are there less jobs for a PHD in Chem etc than a ordinary degree in it?
