All of the interview dates they've given me coincide with other interviews I've already scheduled lol. Have you guys just waited for new dates to open up, or given a call?

Also, are these rolling admissions, bc I'm slightly concerned about scheduling potentially later in November as opposed to this month.

I just put August 2018... because if you're not planning on moving til 2020 then you probably can't start at Northwestern next year ;)
... unless you live in Chicago I guess. They just need to know if you're moving between now and May.

Wait what. I was just saying I was somewhat surprised I got an II given I don't have any pubs or presentations.

+1, where did you hear they didn't like research?

I was just joking .... I didn't mean nothing ... iam a PHD student if I didn't think they liked research why would I even apply there ... sorry for the confusion I guess

Does anyone know if Feinberg is releasing decisions today? At my interview I remember them saying something about when we would hear back, but I forgot to write it down and now I don't remember...

I think they said like December, but I can't exactly remember. It's in my notes at home. I know for sure it's not today
 
Does Feinberg accept grade/application updates? If so, what method do they prefer?

Are you sure it's December? I feel like I remember them saying they'll release it close to the first date for my interview day

In my interview they said most likely December but potentially in November.
 
IIRC I was told to probably expect to hear something by the end of October (interviewed in late September).

I remember a similar thing - perhaps not the first day, but some time in October.

I think it depends on when you interviewed. I interviewed in mid September and they definitely said to expect something around October 16. Have been anxious all day!
 
Wow, I am mistaken. Checked my notes, and they should be sending out acceptances or delays any day now!

Did anyone get a complete email from Feinberg? All I see on the portal is that they received supplemental app and letters.

I got an email right after submitting that they had received my app and fee, and my portal said the same thing that you said. never got a specific "complete" email. Should be fine

I wish they gave us a set date... I can't handle the stress of checking the portal everyday all day for two more weeks.

How is the panel interview? I tend to be quiet in groups so I was a bit worried, but I've also heard it's pretty relaxed.

It's super relaxed and I believe it's just you, another interviewee, and an M4 or a faculty member. The key is to just listen respectfully to the other interviewee and don't be an a**hole
