Yeah I believe so.For others accepted: All we had to do was submit that short form online right? I got the confirmation email that I did that, but when I log into my portal now the generic post-interview message is there again.
are they receptive to in-the-area updates or should i not bother?
Wouldn't bother, they just responded to mine with "no decision has yet been made on your application" and blahblah about how they can't coordinate interview visits until decision to interview is made and that they'll give you a choice of 3-4 dates when they do

Yup. I was wondering if they rescinded the acceptance for a sec....Yes haha that one, even though the other day it said I was accepted and I submitted my form. Does yours say that too?

+1hahaha me too. I thought they were like "oh shoot we sent this to the wrong person hopefully they didn't notice their status change"
Assume still admitted. They confirmed via email, so it can't be taken away!+1
Are we assuming we're still admitted? Just a portal error?
anyone know the post-interview acceptance rate?
I think 75% includes some program that they have for auto acceptance. I think the actual number for people like us is closer to 60-65%. Can someone confirm?

They've got to stop with these newsletters.......
Last question, this is my top choice, so I was just wondering, after post-interview how is the evaluation conducted? is everyone on equal footing after the interview or do they still look at grades, mcat, etc. the reason I ask is that i do have strong ECs, but my MCAT is on the lower end, thank you everyone!
Just noticed the status changeYeah, I'm getting a bit nervous about my app as well. I got the newsletter "Feinberg 411", but my status changed from the "under review" to "We have received your supplemental application and letters of recommendation."... Has anybody NOT seen a status change?

Got a II today and I'm absolutely shocked! Complete early October. Chicago native, LM ~76.
Three December and two January dates
II at like midnight 🙂 For what it's worth, I received the 411 newsletter back in early October and noticed my portal message had changed when I checked a day or two ago (but I hadn't looked at the Northwestern portal for a few weeks beforehand so I'm not sure when it changed). I was complete in late August.
Through February 2017 (according to the portal page)Does anyone know when Northwestern interviews until?
I believe the portals update to tell you your decision has been deferred/continued until Spring if you aren't early admit, rather than saying waitlist.
I'm flattered! Yep, currently in the cycle. I'm a gap year/nontrad student though, maybe that's part of it.You are applying this cycle? For some reason I always thought you were a medical student.

Glad to hear it! I still have to check it any time I browse WAMC forums. I actually had an interviewer comment to me "oh thank god you have an old MCAT score, I actually understand what this means" lolIt could also be all the contributions you've made to SDN. I've probably referenced your MCAT conversion table 50 times.

uhh what? 10 people matched ortho last year, that alone is more than 5% of the classI was just looking at Feinberg's match list. Doesn't it seem concerning that only ~2.5% of last year's class matched into surgery specialities (while the rest were medical)? This is a much lower percentage of the class compared to the likes of Baylor, CWRU, and UPitt. Why?

^ Same, to elaborate a little: two traditional open-file faculty interviews about 45 mins. Then one slightly oddball interview with two applicants and one M4 where they ask things like "work together to make a list of the five most important people of the last century" where they're obviously more interested in how you discuss/interact than how you answer
No kidding. I think you're in the minority, I talked with like half a dozen other students waiting around after and we'd all had various weird questions in the vein of the one above. Some were pretty funny actually, like "spend a few minutes learning about each other, then take turns pitching/selling the other to me as someone we must accept"My panel interview was just the two of us individually answering pretty standard interview questions, so the level of interaction may depend on the interviewer. We were never really prompted to interact but we'd build off of one another's answers if it felt right.

I'm sure it depends on the student doing the interviewing though !
