    Northwestern Lake Forest Family Medicine Residency Program

    I was looking online for more information about this program since I was not able to visit in person, but most of the information I found was from the program's website. Does anyone know more about how this program is or have any insight? Any information would help! Thank you :)

    Northwestern University (NU/NWU) Post Bacc Pre-Medical Application Process Information/AMA

    When I started looking for Post Baccalaureate Programs there was stark lack of information on the programs I was interested in. Hopefully this post can help someone. I only applied to one school, Northwestern University, because it was my favorite of the Post Baccs I researched. It has very...

    UCLA vs. Northwestern

    Help please! Which one should I pick! Love the vibe at NW and was super set on it until getting off the waitlist at UCLA. I am from the east coast so UCLA is FAR. Super torn still waiting to see if UCLA gives me any financial aid.

    Thoughts on Northwestern’s CAP Program?

    Anyone here have updated insight into Northwestern’s CAP fellowship program? Impression of strengths or weaknesses? Any recent changes? I noticed that the PD and call structure seems to have changed since people last reviewed this program on SDN, and they seem to be getting competitive...

    Northwestern ($) vs. Vanderbilt ($)

    Really torn because both schools are strong. Full tuition at both so only cost difference is slightly higher COL in Chicago, but I believe that is negligible. Decently sure I will pursue a competitive specialty, if i am fortunate enough. (plastics, derm, ortho, ENT, etc.) Both are equal distance...

    Columbia vs Northwestern

    Longtime lurker, finally made an account to ask this. Columbia + NYC Northwestern + Chicago Location is not a big deal for me, but I am open to opinions about Chicago vs NYC. Diversity is important. CoA is not a factor. What else should I consider? Thanks in advance!

    Northwestern vs. Vanderbilt vs UTSW

    Hi SDN! I'm so thankful for a successful application cycle. I've been WL'd to my favorite school, Duke, but if I don't get off of that waitlist, then I'll be making this decision, most likely. I want to go into academic medicine, but am open to any speciality right now. COA at NW and Vandy would...

    Do any current students or alumni of NU or NYU have insight into how/why you chose the program, and if it met your expectations? I know the cost, class size, stats, etc. for each school but would appreciate some more anecdotal information if possible. Thanks!
