<p>only 700 applicants this year? for real!?
anyways… the madness begins! haha i remember popping by this thread last year around this time… looks like it’s happening to us. congrats to those who were notified with the interview stuff already! =D</p>
<p>i second the congratulations…i’m biting my fingernails waiting for psu, boston, and northwestern!!</p>
<p>wow, congrats 892JCello!! how early did you send in your app? do you remember?</p>
<p>okay, nm. i found your post. mid-Dec.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s great, 892JCello! :] For some reason, HPME said that they were still missing my SAT scores, so I need to deal with that on Tuesday. Or will the office be open on Monday?</p>
<p>does anyone know what happens if you apply for hpme, get an interview, and then you aren’t selected? can you still attend northwestern as an undergraduate and then apply for med school the regular way?</p>
<p>div, most likely. colleges still want you to go to their university even if not accepted into a combined program. i’m quite sure that you can do that.</p>
<p>Hey, do u guys know if u get a few B’s, will northwestern hpme cancel ur interview?</p>
<p>What’s the range of dates for when they’re doing the interviews this year? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Also, if you get an interview, does that mean you’ve already been accepted to Northwestern U. itself?
I would think that you’d have to get accepted to get an interview, lol. </p>
<p>oh, and according to the guaranteed med programs section of the Medical School Admissions Requirements book (2007-2008 edition), there were 509 applicants 2 years ago and 550 last year…so 700 is definitely a jump in my view.</p>
<p>whoa, i got the 700 figure from a page early in this thread. Someone posted that the breakdown goes like this:</p>
<p>About 1000 ppl submit the card, 700ish get applications, 150ish get interviews, about 60 get selected, and about 50 matriculate</p>
<p>I guess those stats are wrong then…hmm. So that would be good if “only” 500ish applied!</p>
<p>Did any of you have an undergraduate interview?</p>
<p>I thought it was 900ish get applications…</p>

<p>Ahh, got it. :]</p>
<p>If we aren’t selected for an interview, will we be notified?</p>
<p>no, we won’t be notified if not selected for an interview, I called and asked before…slightly depressing</p>
<p>wonderful…</p>
<p>Dangit. :[ Is there a deadline by which all the interviewees are selected? So that if we pass that date, we’ll know that we weren’t selected?</p>
<p>well on the app paper it said the interviews were in Feb, so I’m guessing if the calendar says 2/1/07 and I haven’t received anything, I didn’t get an interview. </p>
<p>At least that’s how I’m thinking for BU and GW as well.</p>
<p>^^that’s not true, they will continue to notify you till mid february</p>
<p>I would think, we should hear by feb 1st…</p>
