Congratulations. Secondary submitted: 7/11; LM is 77.5, played D3 baseball and have couple research publications and still waiting for II (OOS candidate). Does this mean they're not interested?

No-- it can take many months after secondary submission to be invited for an interview. Not to mention, it is only August.

I've seen people submit secondaries in July and get invited to interview in February.

Does anyone have advice on submitting updates? I recently had papers published where i was an author (never have before) and I want to update them but unsure how to format. Should i just submit a pdf of the paper(s) or a pdf type up saying that i published with a link? would it be under their drop down category of general updates?

Starting an email with [You're Invited] is absolutely heinous 😒

Has anyone else received a mini-care package from Feinberg? It contained like pen, sticker, etc. and a thank you for interviewing note.
I got it a week or two after my interview.

Yup, I got one. Very thoughtful, and it is the only school of mine that has done so.

I'll do you one better... I RSVP to virtual information sessions I don't plan on attending just in case they keep a log of interactions. The diagnosis is terminal I fear... Congrats on your A!

[yogurtparfait]

for those who have already interviewed, what is it like? what sorts of questions did they ask, any advice for how to prepare? thank you and congrats!

 

[localfountain]

Does anyone know particular things NW looks for? I haven't gotten an II and it's one of my top choice schools. I know a lot of people get rejected here, so it's always a long shot, but wanted to see if there was anything in particular I could highlight in an update letter.

How long does Feinberg interview for? I just got another newsletter and my heart can't handle the rollercoaster
