<p>I want to stress that I wouldn't bother you fine people if there were <i>any reliable information elsewhere</i>. I've been looking for a long time for something like this. Hello, and without further ado:</p>
<ul>
<li>750 Math, 640 Verbal (Both 89%), 5 Writing</li>
<li>Chemistry GRE this October</li>
<li>3.6 GPA, double major in chemistry and physics</li>
<li>3 published journal articles, 2 as a co-author and 1 as the primary author</li>
<li>President of campus chemical society</li>
<li>2 letters of recommendation will come from research mentors (one chemistry, one physics), and the third will be a professor of physical chemistry 2 and graduate statistical mechanics.</li>
<li>2 departmental awards, one for chemistry and one for physical chemistry</li>
</ul>
<p>The rest is less important, like how I'm sort of writing a textbook (when I find the time). So...let me have it ladies and gentlemen. Who thinks I can get into a chemistry or chemical physics program at Columbia? My statement of purpose will have a good case for why I want to go there, and I have a specific professor in mind.</p>
