I took it to mean that everything is in and now you’re finally being reviewed. Don’t have to do anything except refresh your email daily 🙁
Submitted mid July still no holistic review lol

Refreshing is all we can do at this point 🙁 and obsessively checking spam and trash folders.

Literally could feel my heart speed up the second I saw an email notification from them
Unsubscribe works.

How do I do this in outlook?
These messages are marketing messages. You can find an unsubscribe link on these messages somewhere at the bottom. The programs have zero relationship in most cases to the MD program itself and they assume that people might be trying to improve their GPA etc before applying to med schools just because they have taken MCAT.

Oh hey, look at that. An unsubscribe button. Also, Northwestern’s law school is named Pritzker...what is a Pritzker that two different institutions name their stuff after it?

Apparently it is a bunch of rich Chicago people. Sweet.
If you end up in Chicago, or maybe even when you visit, you’ll quickly notice there are about five families (Pritzker among them) that own almost everything in the city!

Well, I will be in Chicago on Sunday and Monday for an interview so will keep an eye out.
It was pretty cheap back then.
Became a lot more money by 2015 to get the Law school renamed.
Northwestern’s law school gets $100 million Pritzker gift, new name
When J.B. Pritzker’s great-grandfather immigrated to Chicago in 1881, he had to work his way through law school. Aiming to help disadvantaged students — like Nicholas J. Pritzker once was — attend a top tier law school,…

Interestingly, 15 mil in 1968 became 104 mil in 2015. So they got a discount.
Not case western

They are not very friendly to non-trads, their class is predominantly their own undergrads and traditional applicants.

I think I read somewhere that Northwestern does not appreciate ITA emails.
CRUSHING IT THIS WEEK <3333
@ everybody, how long is it taking people to get into holistic review?

About 2 weeks after submission. Only happens on Mondays.

Also, FYI, the email came last night. I am just an old person and go to bed early.
I've been complete since 7/23. Still no holistic review.... 🙁

I’m sorry, you’re just not holistic enough.
Legit answer though, it will happen either tomorrow or the week after. You re on their list, don’t worry.
Chin-up, young Padawan. Anakin has not yet invaded the Jedi temple, we are still free to train in peace.
Same complete date as you. Guess I'm also not holistic enough hahahaha

Would any current students here be willing to chat briefly about the school/program? 🙂
Just got an II! I can't believe they work on sundays!
Congrats! Do you know when you were marked “in holistic review”?
So, anyone know what time on Monday they update? xP

They already updated. Over the weekend my secondary was showing as not received, but I am now showing as complete.
Thank you @xkcd6330! I don't know when I was marked in holistic review 🙁
I guess I'm not holistic enough to be reviewed holistically yet 🙁
same :'< complete 7/25

Hey guys. I was complete 7/12/19 and in holistic review pretty soon after. I'm 3.9X/520 applicant, and I heard Northwestern kinda automatically sends out II to "high stat" applicants...have I been overlooked for some other reason since it's been a full month?
Similar stats and have not received an II. was in holistic review mid July as well. Just be patient.

Will do, thanks man! Congrats on all your II's by the way, I'm super impressed. What do you think is the reason behind all of them? 🙂

deleted972488
I was complete 7/5 and just got an II this Saturday night, so by that timeline you should get one this coming Saturday night. Also, it’s still early in the cycle and I would not assume you’ve been “overlooked” until you hear otherwise.
I feel like it’s possible you were assigned a reviewer who is just taking long to actually review your app.
Thanks! Luck and good stats haha. And applying extremely broadly.

this a neurotic post, but here it goes:
for anyone who hasn't submitted the secondary yet, can you please check the difference between the buttons "save and continue" vs. "next?" I did my entire application on a text edit doc and then copied and pasted my sections into the portal. Last night as I was falling asleep I realized that as I was doing this, I was clicking "next" on each page instead of "save and continue." Worried that every time I hit "next" it wasn't saving the changes I made to each page. Since you can't access ur completed application, I can't double-check my own sanity.

Entered holistic review over the weekend. I have a pretty weak MCAT with a 4.0 cGPA, so I am not confident my review will lead to an interview. Glad to see the process moving along, though. Good luck everyone!
When did you submit the secondary?

I submitted my secondary on 7/12 and received a "complete" email on 7/15.
II!!!!!
