•Are you familiar with what stands out about Northwestern's curriculum? If so, please advise. 🙂 •••••Northwestern's curriculum is one of the most progressive, interesting, and clinically relevant programs out there!!!!! It is a huge reason why I even applied. I guess I am truly surprised that you applied here without knowing about the best feature of this school. There are few schools that can really match it. I mean, sure the hospitals and location are incredible, but the first 2 years are some of the most stress free (at least for med school) out there. You won't even be in lecture for 10 hours a week first year. All labs end before noon, too. Only 2 days a week, there is class in the afternoon (and only from 1-3) and these classes are strictly doctor-patient or doctor-society issues. Plus, there is PBL, but not too much. And all of the lectures are integrated. There are only 6 lecture-based exams all year, and the grading is strictly pass/fail (fail=2 standard deviations below the class average). The funny thing is, I thought you knew all this and were still questioning going to Georgetown... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> Good luck with your decision, maybe I will see you at NU's 2nd look.
