I only received an emailCongrats to today’s new Acceptances.
Did you receive a call or email first, or both?
I think it may be their BS/MD program. I think those applicants are counted twice or something like that (just like with Brown, their actual acceptance is like half of what is reported on the spreadsheet)Accepted. The ghost page conspiracy theories were a bunch of cr*p. I am pretty sure they have some separate program/interview process that drags their post-acceptance rate up. Everybody interviewing at Feinberg has the stats to get into any medical school in the country... with uncertainty surrounding the new traffic rules I am sure there will be some waitlist movement. Good luck to all. Peace and love. Also, their application portal is down.
Any MSTP interviewees hear back recently?
Automatically consideredDo we need to apply for merit scholarships at Feinberg or are we automatically considered?
M3 here. Ask me anything in DM!
Seems from your post history that Northwestern may be a cutthroat environment (as opposed to collaborative), particularly during clinical years. Can you speak on that? Any changes since then?
Also seems that you picked Northwestern over Vandy - what played into your decision?
Not sure which of my previous post made you think NU is a cutthroat environment, but my experience has been always collaborative. M1/2 year is P/F as you know so there's no point of being cutthroat. There are classmates making study guides, anki card decks, etc. Upper classmen also help out with these as well. M3 year is graded but even then, 35-60% people end up honoring a given clerkship, and you're not graded against each other, so there's no point of being a competitive gunner. Most of my classmates I worked with as co students on rotations were very pleasant to work with. I haven't had a gunner co student but residents/attendings are good at recognizing them as well. They were medical students at one point after all.
NU over Vandy bc of city environment, better financial aid package, no need for car
Each student has a very fair chance at honoring in clinical totally independent of other students. As a student, you’ll have a pretty good idea how you are doing in a clinical, which would impact whether you ask for an LoR if you were outstanding.Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was alluding to a post “Northwestern Feinberg Environment”, which confused me a bit, but I suppose it’s a bit old.
One more q, how do you and students in general feel about grading during clinical years? How much do shelves/evals/luck weigh on one’s ability to receive honors/high pass? With step going P/F (and tbh I haven’t thought too much about this), I guess clinical grades would gain even more importance. But how arbitrary are they, if at all?

Is that another word for kissing ass? Faking a smile? Honest question, no bad intended.All I would say is that if you are a sociable
No that means being nice to others, making small talks to talk about how their weekends were, reading the room about when to chitchat and ask questions vs when to stay quiet, being helpful. If you have a rbf, it might be helpful to fake smileIs that another word for kissing ass? Faking a smile? Honest question, no bad intended.
