+1 Deferred

At least they were reasonably fast with the email.

We fight on

Yeah I thought they were going to wait to send those emails so I'm grateful haha

 

[zeyaatin]

deferred 🙁 good luck all and congrats to those who got the A’s!

 

[Dapper Duck]

Congrats to everyone who got in!! Has anyone gotten any emails yet? Whether A or defer?

Got confirmation email about an hour ago for A.

 

[anonymous_penguin]

+1 IS A. Interviewed 9/18. Can someone make a group chat with accepted people, I wanna make friends.

If you have yet to get an interview, should you submit a letter as 'Application Update (general)' or 'Pre-Interview Update or Continued Interest'

I'm being neurotic I know lol

Maybe go with the ‘Pre-Interview Update’ one, but to me, it sounds like both could work!

 

[ecobio]

just submitted an update letter, hoping for the best 💚 this is my dream school.

I'm a bit of an anomaly (but for late submitters, some hope!) 10/17

OOS II, submitted 8/20. LM 76

 

[dayoneofmedicine]

OOS II, complete mid August. Sent an update letter in Dec!

 

[deleted1125342]

Does anyone when the admissions committee makes the decision before the late-February/early-March decision release date? Thinking about how to time my letter of interest/potential letter of intent.

 

[123452025]

OOS II today, complete 7/18, sent update letter couple days ago

 

[scrappydoop]

Delayed decision for MSTP 😔 I'd really like to submit a letter of continued interest since they're one of my top choices, but I don't have any significant updates to provide 🙁 does anyone have any advice for writing these kinds of letters? Thanks so much!

[OGAnunoby]

OOS II a few days ago, completed late july, update letter late december
LM 78.5

 

[deleted1125342]

Might be a weird question...but how many update letters/LOCIs is too many?
Submitted one after interview, one right before December decision date (received delayed decision).
Thinking about submitting a 3rd, though it might be less impactful (would just be saying that my poster was accepted into national conference and some random stuff about why my goals align with Feinberg's)

I would do a third tbh. I think what got me the A in December was the fact that I sent them two letters. NW is one of the schools that really likes people showing interest. It doesn't necessarily have to be updates, could just be more of a LOI or something.

 

[breez]

Is there more to come from here or are they done

 

[MrPuff]

Oh, they are definitely not done. They still have to send my II.

 

[goge69]

Interviewed here last year - they really said no redemption for me lmfao even after 2 update/interest letters this cycle 💀

yeah, same boat 🙁 interviewed here during my first cycle 3 years ago.

 

[breez]

I was under the impression they keep sending IIs through Feb even, just was wondering if it was any different this year 🙂

 

[goge69]

yeah, same boat 🙁 interviewed here during my first cycle 3 years ago.

tbh my secondary this year was somehow worse but it happens. hope they come thru for both of us 🙂

it was so wonderful. genuinely the most enjoyable interview ive had yet. don't stress, you've got this

 

[CheeesyBoi]

It was surprisingly laid back. I think they had 2-3 required questions then after that it was just a normal convo with your interviewer

Does Northwestern give merit-based scholarships?

 

[Present-Row-4056]

Does Northwestern give merit-based scholarships?

Yes, they are fairly generous with matching as well.

 

[MedicalBotty]

What would you guys say is the latest day to submit an update for it to be reviewed by the decision date?

 

[orangechicken77]

+1 OOS II! Submitted mid-July and sent an update letter last week! LM 74 and they're scheduling either for next week or early February 😊

[spookyszn]

to anyone who alr received an A in Dec, did you guys send updates/LOI post-interview? any advice, if so?

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

to anyone who alr received an A in Dec, did you guys send updates/LOI post-interview? any advice, if so?

I did! Sent one mid November after a late October interview. I almost no no updates, just let them know they were one of my top choices and gassed them up

 

[Sillygoose06]

is more than one post ii update/interest letter too much if they are over three months apart?

 

[OGAnunoby]

I think it's appropriate if you have significant updates

 

[zeyaatin]

They did explicitly say that they like to receive updates and continued interest, so I wouldn’t worry about it

 

[BlessTheMakerAndHisWater]

+1 OOS II - I'm in shock I thought they were done!!

 

[Terminator1134]

OOS interview! I submitted early August and thought that all hope was lost. This is my dream school since a loved one had their life changed by the docs at northwestern. Sent an update a couple weeks ago.
