Sloffee Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have received an interview “hold” and another interview invite. Haven’t heard from Northwestern yet regarding interviews though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA1223 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 hey guys! I attended Northwestern's Virtual PA information session today.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 28 minutes ago, ekc5755 said: USC I know what you're talking about because I've been to their info session before. It's not that they judge you more harshly. They said sometimes the applicant pool that submits early on in the cycle may be more competitive compared to those who submit later, and they're making decisions based off the specific applicant pool. Just because you apply earlier doesn't mean it hurts you and applying later doesn't mean you get more leeway. I hope that makes sense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekc5755 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Oh it totally makes sense. I was not trying to imply that anyone would be punished for applying early, but an admissions officer I talked to used the phrase “judged more harshly” verbatim. They weren’t able to be more explicit with me regarding whether those candidates who might have been more competitive later in the year (depending on the applicant pool, of course), ever get circled back to. For those just seeing this thread, I should probably reiterate that we are NOT talking about Northwestern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessica1998 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wonder when interviews will start. I hope they contact applicants sometime in early to mid August with an update. This school is one of my top choices. I have a pretty significant upward trend and over 1000 hours of PCE, but at the end of the day there is no guarantee your stats will get you in I guess.

Looks like mine were a little long! They specified word count and not character count so I went by that. Mine were around 400 words each which works out to around 2000-2500 characters each.

Mine def maxed out the word count to the very best. I felt like being local to the school (not that it matters) has taught me so much about the injustices, culture, etc. about the local communities. I wish they gave me more words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to keep mine around 300-400 words. I figured they'd get bored reading my life story after reading a million others. I did try to show my passion for working in underprivileged communities and holistic healthcare. Also I was born and raised in Chicago, but im from out of state so hopefully that's a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
