ah okay so its like brown. got it. thanks
hmm unsure about that. If I recall correctly with NUPSP and HPME it’s only like 10-15 students top entering in a new class? Someone correct me if I’m wrong

From last years thread: To correct my math for HPME (24 people) and NUPSP (11 people), 498/656 = 75.9%, so still near 77% lol
According to MSAR, Northwestern only has ~20 people in its BS/MD program compared to ~60 from Brown. Considering Northwestern also interviews almost twice as many applicants as Brown, I don't think it makes as big of a difference. If you take away the 16 OOS BS/MD from MSAR and subtract that from the total number of accepted, the post II acceptance rate drops down to about 65%, which is lower but still pretty high
Wow crazy high glad to know I was wrong haha

Do they serve deep dish pizza on the interview day or should I make it a goal to get my pizza the night before

Similar question. What would be a good time to send a letter of interest? Just had my interview last Wednesday, and Dr. Kundu said they appreciate letters of continued interest.

Congratulations! Can I ask how significant your update was? Like ballpark on a scale of nature publication to nobel prize.
Unfortunately does not fit on a scale of nature publication to nobel prize. I included a few minor things- abstract accepted to conference, paper submitted to low-IF journal, new clinical experience/job over winter break.

Hopeful interviews are still going out today...

Does anyone recommend submitting letter of intrest/update at this point?? No significant changes in application, minor volunteer commitments added for the new year
THANK YOU

Probably not worth it if you don't have any substantial updates. I sent one and submitted early Sep, but I had a publication get accepted.

That would be clutch. Do it!!
are they done with IIs here? I sent in update in november but didn't seem to do much. I thought about another letter of interest in january but seems pretty futile.
Was also thinking about sending a letter of interest. Would love to be in Chicago.
Not at all. I had called about the November release date and they were very nice and were happy to answer.

lmao we don’t have the tabs conspiracy anymore and now we’re turning on each other, eh?
FWIW: the kind of behavior described actually does happen every so often on SDN. We’re all a little bit neurotic and I think this is all just a misunderstanding. Let’s all hope we’re classmates this year :^)

As previously noted, there will be no personal vendettas in the school-specific threads.
