Does anyone know if northwestern sends complete emails?
I got an email with The title "YOUR APPLICATION AND FEE CONFIRMATION FOR THE FEINBERG SCHOOL OFMEDICINE"
That and the portal says my app is "complete and under review"

Thanks! I see neither though it's been a week since letters have been in, so will just wait on that then 🙂
Check your spam filter. The email showed up there for me (used a .edu email for reference).
Does Northwestern accept any updates to application? New publication and want to see if I can let them know about it.
Yes I have asked before. Here's what they said
"Thank you for your e-mail. If applicants would like to notify us of updates to their application, we ask that they do so through a brief written e-mail or letter. Feel free to send your application update to this e-mail address ([email protected]) (in the body of the e-mail or as a PDF attachment would be great) or to our mailing address below. Please provide your AAMC ID # in the update. Thank you."
I added northwestern late but for the coping skills question do you think if I talked about a story and how I coped with that and used a generalized sentence towards the end I would be good. Or just generalize coping skills of all difficult situations throughout
I used a specific event and then talked about how the things I learned from that event have translated to a more general coping.

II just now!
Is it too late to apply here? I just got an email from their diversity office encouraging me to apply and that they will waive my secondary fee. Im an AA female and they seem to be aggressive with creating diversity. I am well below their 10%ile for gpa so I am not sold on wasting money on the primary. Is it worth it to apply here with a gpa WELL BELOW their average?
PM'd
They are aggressive about diversity and that has been one of the big draws for me to this school. Keep in mind that just because you receive that email does not mean you are guaranteed an interview or acceptance. That is what they told me at first. I'm an AA male. Hopefully your EC's, letters, PS and secondary essays are strong if you end up applying.

I want to piggyback off what zurc2014 asks...I added the school too and am afraid since I am not up there with their stats. @Afropolitan
I made a mistake and submitted four LORs to Feinberg before I realized they ask to send no more than three letters. Should I contact the office about this? Thanks!
Yeah I'd call them the lady I talked to on the phone was super nice so I doubt it's a problem
I had a letter packet, with five total LORs, so not sure how that will all be sorted? Should I call the admissions office?

I just talked to the admissions office about this matter and the lady I spoke with said they will receive all of the letters sent, but that there was nothing to worry about!
I had about 5 options. Tuesday or Wednesday that week. And monday friday the week after. So I'm assuming they interview every weekday?
so interviews happen immediately once you get the invite? :O Congrats btw!! 🙂
To clarify, the dates given were like a month and a half in the future from when I got the invite. Thanks!!!!
II! Complete on 8/9, give or take a day.

It's 2 standard 30 minute interviews with an admissions person and a faculty member, and then another 30 minute interview with you and 1 other interviewee conducted by a student. There's also a 30 minute break scheduled somewhere in there.
I thought it was one standard individual interview and a long group interview with 2 other people?

If I remember correctly, I got one about 48 hours after scheduling from one of the administrative staff.

So does this gap year options email mean I'm not getting in
Haha I just got that too. Who is in charge of sending these e-mails.
