Thanks! You're doing amazingly. I was complete around then as well I believe, but I'm not sure that matters at this point.

Yeah I honestly thought my interview invite cycle was done... but who knows what goes on behind the scenes at these schools. 😛
Amazed, shocked, and ecstatic to receive acceptance today (very promptly post interview, too!)
i love you northwestern.

Congratulations, you beast.
Deferred until March. I wonder if it matters when I write them an update/interest letter. Maybe they're just gonna re-evaluate my application in the spring, so any time before then is fine (in which case I'd put it off until I have more to say in a couple months). Or, maybe they're in fact looking at my app a couple times between now and march, in which case I'd write my letter sooner rather than later...
Haha look who's talking! Much appreciated though. 🙂

Just curious for all of those who've finished their interviews, how did you guys prep? This is my first II and I honestly don't know what to expect.
Accepted today and just interviewed last week - I was so surprised because they told us it would be 2 months before we heard anything?!

Congrats! We definitely interviewed at WashU together haha.Accepted today and just interviewed last week - I was so surprised because they told us it would be 2 months before we heard anything?!
For those that have already interviewed, can you comment on how chill/stressful the interviews were?
II today. Complete 7/31.
II TODAY AS WELL! Complete 10/15
II TODAY AS WELL! Complete 10/15
Congrats! Would you mind sharing stats? Thanks!
Sure! My LizzM is between 75-79, usual ECs, except I do have considerable international experience/focus!
Very impressive! I really like Northwestern but my stats are way below their average. Since I was complete in September and haven't heard anything, I wonder if this is a silent reject.
Thanks so much for sharing! Good luck on your interview!!
If you were complete in September then its still too early to worry! I was complete in most places in August and have been hearing back this month, so you might be hearing good news in Nov/Dec, even January! Don't give up hope yet!!
Wow! Congrats! I was complete on the same day and I am so happy to hear that people who were marked complete in July are still up and running in the game 🙂 would you mind sharing your stats?
For sure, my LizzyM is ~75. I've been complete for so long that I wasn't sure if I would interview, but I guess everyone is still a contender.
Just got an II today, very excited! But I am a little confused about the interview format. Can someone who has already interviewed explain. Is it panel and individual, or two individual faculty and then several 4th year med students? The info on SDN and their application portal differs from the info on the website. Just want to know what I am walking into.
Two one-on-one faculty interviews, (mostly?) open-file, and a "panel" interview with a M4 student and one other applicant. The M4 interview is almost completely closed file - I think they know your ugrad institution.

All in mid January! Got a while to study up on Feinberg haha.
I would think so.
Has anyone ever heard of someone getting an II here after submitting their secondary this late in the game?
At least every 2 weeks. I interviewed around 10/6 and got my acceptance on the 22nd
It's probably your browser. It does that to me on Chrome and Firefox. It only works on Safari. Try that!
Thank youuu!! I was using Chrome and switched to Internet Explorer, and now it works. Gee, this waiting game is making me crazy!!
I had this problem! If you turn private browsing on, change browsers, or delete cookies (or all those things) it should work.
Got an email status update saying I've been put on hold and a final decision will be made in March. Fast turn around! I interviewed here two weeks ago.
Accepted!!! Interviewed about two weeks ago as well!
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing what day you interviewed? I also interviewed about a week ago but haven't heard anything :/

Congrats on your acceptance! I also interviewed on that date. Did you interview for the md program or the combined MDPHD program? Thanks for sharing!
Was wondering the same thing about pre-interview updates at Northwestern.
