Lol TOP is only for the class of 20XX threads unless you want to make it a thing for the school specific threads too.
I did! It was very relaxed. They gave me the option of scheduling a dinner or coffee break with current LGBT and ally students - I opted for the coffee break since I was scheduling it so last minute. I met two students after my interview day was over in the office of diversity and they took me to Argo Tea. I was able to ask them questions and get more inside info on the school and their focus on diversity.
Also got an awesome bag of goodies and they paid for the tea/coffee! I would say go for it if you don't think you'll be completely exhausted after the whole interview day!

Haha yes, we're making this a thing.Lol TOP is only for the class of 20XX threads unless you want to make it a thing for the school specific threads too.
Apologies for the first post. I've been a long time lurker taking advantage of dates from the forums, and figured I should start giving back. I'll put my (belated) updates in other school specific threads, hopefully to help future SDNers.

We interviewed on the same day. My decision was deferred...
Deferred until March 🙁 interviewed on 12/11.
Congrats! Did you get an email or status update?
thanks!
I heard by email! But I just checked and my status also has it as well.
Ah ok. Maybe they do it in a trickling stream instead of all at once (I hope).
Good luck, hope you get some good news!
they will accept a bunch of people next month, so delete a few of those frowns!

Unbelievable. Just got an II for next Monday!! Complete August 10, 3.95 39. First completed secondary, last interview invite. So totally shocked and excited. Now just have to brush off my interview skills and book a train to Chicago!
Congratulations! So I guess they have gone through all of the apps now and are doing the quick review of applications, filling up the remaining interview slots, before they do their mass rejection. At least that's my guess going off of last year.
Congrats! What date did you schedule your interview for??
Lol that's what happens when you don't read carefully
Same question here...
I interviewed Dec 13 and got deferred until March. I'm also wondering if/when to send an LOI, both my parents went to nw for med school, I really wanna carry on that legacy, haha :/
been waiting since november here...

Based on your screen name, i'm about 80% sure that we interviewed in the same panel. my decision was also deferred. I think I'm going to send in an update because I don't think was clear enough during my individual interview.

Well that's depressing. I really wish I could have had an opportunity to come out and interview here. Anyways, good luck to everyone to waiting to hear back!!
I never received a reply. I guess it's nice if they reply, but I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much.
That wasn't Peoria, was it?
no.
Are you talking about the "thank you emails" you send to your interviewers after the interview?
Yes, exactly.
Out of four interviewers (1 individual, 3 panel interviewers) that I sent thank you emails to, I got response back from two of them.
March 1st

Thank you very much!
As another applicant, I think its pretty important. NU has a lot of group work, and I would think they want to make sure that you can do well in those situations (be cooperative, nice to the other people in your group, don't try to one-up other people). I was accepted in October, but after I interviewed, I felt like the least competitive person in my group. I think there is more weight because of some of the crazy questions they ask you as well.
Dang. 🙁
