Spoke with the admissions office this morning. Was informed that they expect to pull fewer people from the alternate list this year than in the past, likely less than 10. No alternates accepted yet, but the month of June is when they typically see the most movement.

got an email from dr. wallace today about an opening, but i haven't decided anything yet. just wanted to let you guys know that there's at least some movement.
I also got off last Tuesday. If anyone else has do you know how long it takes for them to process financial aid/send your Northwestern ID/account information?

Congratulations!
Did the email from Wallace give any hint at the number of alternate list applicants that are going to be given an acceptance?

Thanks! The only thing I can gather from his email is that he said "we have an opening" which makes it kind of sound like the openings are trickling in one at a time... but I don't think you can read into it too much. Good luck!

Interesting. Thanks for the response. I'll try and keep from speculating and hope to hear good news soon!

Reading this thread is quite daunting seeing as how all you guys have submitted applications and whatnot both primarys and secodarys, but hopefully I dont get to much negative feedback. I would appreciate positive at this point in time, but I havent even taken my MCAT, I most likely will in September.... Im prolly gonna finish my app during the time I wait for my score. Do you think I am screwed for even applying to NU? I mean the deadline is Oct 15 for a reason right?

I took the last MCAT administration of 2012 and was accepted. In general, I would not recommend applying late, but it's not a dealbreaker--just make sure that the MCAT is the last piece of your application that you are submitting.Reading this thread is quite daunting seeing as how all you guys have submitted applications and whatnot both primarys and secodarys, but hopefully I dont get to much negative feedback.

Concerning. Have second thoughts about this school. Haven't heard the best reviews either.
