2019-2020 Northwestern

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So no more IIs from Northwestern either? I’ve been seeing that for a couple schools recently but it would suck I really thought I had a shot here.
Nah I think there’s still IIs left. According to last years thread, we should expect some, even for those complete in July (aka me)
 
I think decisions are going to be released today because as of this morning when I click the acceptance protocols tab it no longer takes me to an error page. It takes me to the page that someone posted an image of when they did their "FBI/NSA internet archives search."
 
Me holding out for a hero knowing damn well most M1s are Feb. acceptances, not having ghost acceptance protocol tabs, and below 70 LM score

It sounds like those tabs are just there for everyone who interviewed and they only update after the committee meets and goes through all of them. Maybe the committee met today to finalize a list and there's no real way of us knowing until the acceptances are met.

But also I like the idea that we all got accepted a lot more lol
 
Not to burst bubbles but also to burst bubbles, you can access that “Congratulations” page from the main Feinberg Medicine website with no login and minimal digging. It would be against sdn culture to suggest that the tabs are not code for unrevealed secrets, but it doesn’t seem as though they are suggestive of anything. Not yet, anyway...
 
Analyzing this so far as we wait for the 6pm chimes....

5 ppl had tab links earlier this week
11 additional ppl so far reported getting them today
All 16 today can click and see the Congrats page.

Also, realize Feinberg accepts 533 avg per year.
Say they do 10-20% in November as early admits, that’s still 53-106 Nov Admits. So he 16 is within the ~5x SDN representation rule of thumb!

So.... True meaning of what is being seen???
(Where is that acceptance Accept button for candidate to click?)
 
Hilarious when even a parent gets in on the neuroticism.
(Maybe not so hilarious that the parent has access to their kid's portals and passwords though...)
may not be the case for many this round but people applying for residencies will be having someone monitor their invitations. If they miss it by an hour, they lose the interview in many competitive programs.

This parent does not have kid's portal access. They hate when I communicate SDN updates/info because they are trying to stay neurotic-free, but I thought this info was worth asking about this afternoon. So neurotic-free, it took them almost two hours to answer me about their portal update!

Those of us who just interviewed in the last 72 hours also have the same tabs. Do you really think they analyzed everyone and just decided, "well heck, let's just take 'em all!!" ??

Do we know that All of the interviewees from last 72hrs have it? If so, then I would be skeptical. But, I suspect their committee met yesterday which create the possibility of some of the candidfates rom here days ago getting accepted.

Many of the schools are cretating heir own acceptance list to first reveal. Last committee meeting leading up to first reveal might only need to find the top 20% from last couple of weeks to review.

I know the post-II acceptance rate here is high but I didn’t know it was THIS high. Congratulations, everyone. 🙂

Definitely a potential bubble burster.

They specifically told interviewees who were there this week that none would hear until January because they would not be reviewed yet. We all have the tabs. Please chill.
