I never recieved holistic review before I got my interview so I wouldn't worry so much about exact timelines; seems more like an automated thing rather than a window for II invitations.
For anybody who has interviewed here already this cycle (MD or MSTP): what was the dress code?
For my upcoming MSTP interview, the website says business casual is appropriate for both of our interview days but I can't believe they would be so lax with attire for both days--am I missing something? Any advice is appreciated!

For MD everyone showed up business professional, but that's also because no one ever mentioned anything about business casual at all, whether in email or in-person at the interview.

complete 8/3. box disappeared before I ever got into holistic review lol
I did not submit my AMCAS to Northwestern but I just got an email form the office of diversity saying they would waive my secondary app fee and I should apply. I don't know if this email is serious or if they just send it to all minorities with decent MCAT scores. I don't know if it's even worth it applying this late. I have a 516 MCAT and a 3.89 GPA and I'm URM. Any thoughts?

I think they send these to a lot of people from what ive read ... but if you have money for the primary to spare, I would say why not.
Did they say apply for this year? it seems quite late for them to be soliciting apps for this cycle.
I say go for it. They sent it to you for a reason. I got the letter and got an interview, similar stats as you. Plus if they're willing to waive the fee, why not? 🙂
The email didn't specify which cycle. I called the diversity office to ask some questions and the person I spoke to said I should apply based on my stats. She said she's seen people in similar situations as me get interviewed and even accepted. I figure I have nothing to lose but $40 from the primary application fee so might as well try.
Good luck. It looks like they dont have enough candidates if they are asking to apply this late which means you stand as good a chance as any others.

Probably nothing.
Just got an II to a (rather low-ranked) school in Chicago. Should I chance an ITA email here?
Also, anyone know how to word these things?

Interviewed here yesterday. The hospital system was incredible, and all the students seemed to love it there. The administration seems to put a lot of value in student feedback which is always great. I also really liked that the Office of Diversity and Inclusion set up a dinner for me with some LGBT+ medical students as a part of the Reach OUT program. I would absolutely love attending medical school here.

Can anyone comment on the interview here? I read the SDN page for this school and it seems like the stress level is rated higher than any other school I’ve interviewed at. Also seems like they like to do stress tests?

It likely heavily depends on whom interviews you. I did have one interviewer at this school who was a little cold, but just answer the questions to the best of your ability and hope for the best.

If you don't mind me asking, how was the group interview and should I prepare for the ethical scenarios?
I had an interviewer at another school who was obviously trying to stress test but it was done in a very rude, aggressive, and even kind of racist way. Ever since then I have been getting anxiety about these interviewers and turned off by schools who decide to interview in this manner.
Group interview is incredibly chill, no thought ahead of time even needed! And I know it’s a sample size of one, but both of my interviewers were very positive. No stress testing or any sort of aggressiveness!
II! Complete 8/12 🙂 Excited for my first Chicago school.
