From MSAR, a high number of students with no volunteering, shadowing, or paid employment suggests both young applicants and many BS/MD folks. Also, less than 20% of their class is older than 24 suggesting few gap years and even fewer real nontrads.

hmmm thank you for the info! im only slightly non trad (2 years off school between undergrad and matriculation) but still am according to their definition, and IS with above average but not high stats so im wondering if its a waste of time to apply or not

Anyone with an II know the last dates available? I'm gonna be back in Chicago in October, wondering if an ITA would be appropriate. Thanks, friends

I believe when I scheduled mine the choices were Tuesdays in September. There may have been another day of the week, too. But I’ve heard Northwestern isn’t receptive to ITA requests.

+1 and 6 yrs out... maybe they're trying to broaden their horizons this year

I was browsing through last years thread and it seems like holistic review is chronological by complete date. Complete on 7/22 but still no holistic review. I’ll keep checking for all of us neurotic ones 😉

I don't think that it is chronological. I was expecting to wait at least a month after submitting 8/19, but I was placed in holistic review yesterday.

Finally in holistic!!!

Congrats! I'm curious as to why your check mark box is green.. mine looks just like the other checked boxes.

Yikes.

Lol is this not a legitimate thing to wonder about? Guess I'm just losing it

The picture was photoshopped lol

My checkbox is the same as all the other checkboxes and I got an II... definitely not something to be concerned about.

I think throwaway was just making a gag post.

Yea I was and thought it was pretty obvious with the green checkmark emoji lol. Forgot that sdn is the birthplace of the Pitt email conspiracy (which I 100% believe in).

You know this process screws with you mind when you start worrying over the color of a check box

Lol nah man, I'm way past the point of forming rational inferences about what I read on here.

And someone said only Stanford people work labor day weekend. 🙂

 

[filthy_premed]

Anyone interview yet and have feedback on how their date went?

 

[Heliobacter]

But it’s Labor Day

Guess you're right, they didn't update today (or at least I'm still not in holistic review). See you guys next week.

Been holistic for almost a month rip

At least you are at that point. A lot of us here were complete early and not even in “holistic review.” So enjoy the interviews you already have!

[marcosma]

Hello! Anyone who has already interviewed - how was the day? Stressful? Chill? Neither? Both? I'd love to hear about the experience!

Just here to check in and say that I submitted in MID august and so safe to say, I will not be Holistic for a long long time.
RIP application (gone with the wind)

How receptive are they to ITA emails?

 

[907914]

They are not.

 

[977968]

I've been complete and in review since like mid July...am I done here lol how have I not heard back?

 

[strappysandals]

I dont think I ever went into "holistic review." straight from complete -> II. I hope this fuels more MemeLord theories.

 

[907914]

MemeLord theories

Did I start the UPitt thing? I don’t think I did...

 

[deleted688779]

Did I start the UPitt thing? I don’t think I did...

quite proud

Huh, maybe I inadvertently did...first post on the third page of UPitt....

@EmbryonalCarcinoma No complete email here either...is it possible that confirmation emails are a late addition to many schools in the cycle?

 

[and 99 others]

Wow, can't believe I get to say this, over the moon right now!!!!

So honored to say that I...just got put in holistic review

 

[proudofmykids]
