Anyone on here get a diversity fee waiver? I only applied to east coast schools but FSM diversity office reached out with a fee waiver and the essays are short so I went for it!
I did as well!!!
I also did! Haven't heard back though after submitting.
I got the diversity waiver and submitted mid September; got an II a couple of weeks later so shoot your shot!

I like those odds. I know the schools don’t care about the submit date as much as SDN focuses on it so fingers crossed. Reading up on the school I actually got really into the mission, curriculum and general vibe of the school.

Congrats! What was your complete date?
I got the waiver too, complete late september and haven't heard anything.
Apologies if this has been asked before, but is Northwestern responsive to ITA requests?

how much does a post-interview uber cost from feinberg to ohare?
D
deleted972488
Probably at least 50.

oh damn. how about an uber to Grand instead of waiting for the bus? is that worth it? I just don't want to end up waiting on a bench for a bus in the cold and worried about making a flight
mine was $28 but I went at like 5am the morning after. not sure how bad the surges are
If you have enough time you can always just take a bus to the train which will take you all the to O’Hare.

yea i'm mainly worried about the surge.

It was around 50 for a shared ride for me during peak hours.
Buses at that hour come like every 10 minutes around the school. It’ll probably take you about the same time if you take public transportation honestly so I definitely recommend it! There’s a bus stop almost directly in front is the building.

in your opinion would a 5:45 departure (boarding time earlier ofc) at ohare be okay for traveling via bus-to-subway post-interview (ends at 3)? or would you recommend 6:45
also sorry, this is more than i'd normally post on a forum, it's one of those days

Does anybody have any pointers or tips for the group interview?
I think if you left right at like 3:15 you would probably get there latest 4:40 via bus/train. So I think the 5:45 would be fine but depends on how much you want to be rushing too! If it’s not a huge price difference Go for the 6:45 just in case of any delays on interview day or you go the wrong direction haha
Edit: feel free to PM me if you need any help with where to go/ which bus/ which direction haha

Just take the red line to the blue so easy y'all
That’s actually a lot slower if they’re trying to catch a flight, but still an option if youre worried about the bus!
I'd recommend 6:45. I live in Chicago and it can take time to get to O'Hare and then getting through security at O'Hare can also take more time than you'd like. I'd play it safe.

Yes
The medical center is not in EvanstonTHis site will show you various options + travel times + cost.
In addition, I would try Super Shuttle service which would be about <$30.

So use to thinking about NU = Evanston.... apologies for the confusion.
I still recommend Super Shuttle or equivalent if looking for a cost trade-off.

I have not received any news regarding a decision and whenever I click the "Acceptance Protocols" link it takes me to an error page. Also for what it's worth I interviewed in mid October.

Neuroticism intensifying... I don’t have the acceptance protocol or second look tabs and I interviewed in mid September.

Haha I would take that as good news. Things like that don't just happen randomly.
