For 2019-2020 cycle, it was 02/27.
For 2018-2019, it was 03/01.

Fair enough! It just seemed a little odd to be inviting others to perform research to answer a question for you, especially when you knew exactly where to find the answer.

Oh I didn't mean it like that, I just thought that knowing SDN, there's a 90% chance someone already has that answer haha

Does anyone know if Pritzker has internal ranking for its students? Tried to research this but couldn't find this info anywhere

I’m pretty sure theres no ranking both for the preclinical years and clerkships...i remember reading somewhere on the website about the curriculum being ‘competency-based’
 
Late post:
On Dec 9th, 2021: received Pre II R. Complete 12/1.
Chicago Applicant. 517, cGPA 3.69

Best of luck everyone!
 
Has anyone received anything about the financial aid application? I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to be made available today
 
I asked this before, but did anyone get accepted yet who had a November interview?
 
I think I had the first stressful Pritzker interview in history. Did anyone who got accepted have 1 interviewer who asked probing/grilling type questions?

Interesting. I thought Pritzker was known for chill type of interviews. May I ask specifically what you were grilled on?

I thought so too! I don't want to dox myself but it wasn't about my app, it was about systemic racism/classism. Questions I really couldn't have prepared for. I've been feeling weird and confused ever since because pritzker is def my top choice

I definitely had some hard-hitting questions in my interview about inequality in society/healthcare, etc. but it did not feel like the questions were aimed at stumping me. I'd say it felt more like they were trying to stimulate meaningful conversation and get to my values and I just assumed that was because Pritzker is a heavily values-based school. Could that have been it?

Yeah that does sound like what they were trying to do. I was a bit surprised though because the convo before that had been very light so I'm not sure I gave them a good response, but hopefully I'm just being too critical in retrospect and it actually made sense at the time

I think we all go through that to some extent in this process! Stay positive, I'm sure you did great. Worrying will only make you miserable (at least that's what I keep telling myself).

Does anyone know if they accept/are responsive to letters of intent? I just interviewed and honestly I'm head over heels for pritzker :cryi:
 
Was looking at the previous threads, seems like there's a small wave of A's (late January) before the main decision dump late February/early March. It's about to get to late January 👀

I feel like I've been counting down the days to late February 😩😭 Pritzker would be a dream come true. This school has stopped interviewing though, right?

Historically they interview all the way till early Feb, so probably not. And I feel you on Pritzker, probably my favorite interview day I had.

Anyone happen to know how generous Pritzker is with need-based aid?

I believe all of their aid is merit-based but they do consider need as well. I'm not exactly sure how they do this, but their financial aid is known to be pretty generous.
