Does anyone know how they handle updates? I haven't seen any info on their portal, so I'm wondering if they just want them e-mailed to their admissions office. I also haven't seen that they don't accept updates. Am I overlooking the instructions somewhere?

You just email them. That's how they handled it last cycle.

Has anyone with a II invite received a VITA invite yet?

I got my VITA invite last Thursday (20 AUG) and completed my VITA on Sunday (23 AUG). As you might know, VITA sends out invites once a week on Thursday. For me, I got my II on a Friday, and my VITA invite rolled in 6 days later.

If I get one more email from Northwestern that isn't an II... I get so excited every time I see one and then SO disappointed when it's just an informational email!

Thought it was a rejection at first. God I hate their random emails.

Yes! My stats are mediocre at best and didn't think I had a chance here but if they're willing to waive the secondary fee I'm wondering if it's at least worth a shot

me too, i have the exact same thoughts--maybe speaking to the adcom will be helpful?

Definitely apply if they are willing to waive the secondary fee. I'm not saying that's a guaranteed II by any means but there is virtually no downside to applying in this case.

I agree pls shoot your shot! They also waived my secondary fee and I applied, and received a II despite my stats being significantly below their means/medians.

Thanks for the inspiration!! I'm still finishing out secondaries for some other schools but think I'll add it when I'm done... assuming I have any energy left

if you dont mind answering what was your stat? ORM or URM? complete date? sorry for all the questions. I am still debating on applying here and just like you I was offered to have my secondary waived.

I'm so salty because I seem to be the only person who applied and paid before receiving the email lol

Mine has been marked complete and under review, not sure if it was just complete before but I don't think it was

This is a really late replay but I submitted 7/22 and mine is still just "complete" and not marked as under review. Was checking this thread to see if an "under review" status even existed lol

I submitted and was complete mid-Aug. Mine says "Complete and under review."
 
Are the faculty/admin interviews open-file and M4 interview access to essays/ECs, does anyone know?
 
When Feinberg hits you with another heart-attack-inducing email

Probably best to unsubscribe tbh, I don't think I could take these surprises for the next few months 😱 Or set up a filter and sort the emails directly into another folder (skip inbox/archive and add label, on Gmail) if you want to keep the emails but not get notifications!
 
How often does this school send out IIs. I submitted in August and was just wondering.
