Northwestern HPME Discussion Class of 2019

Let’s get this started!

Who here is interested in applying Northwestern HPME? We can maybe talk about stats, chances and other questions we have that rise up as we go through this application process.

@gurt567 today daughter got the supplemental application.Approximately how many kids apply and get the supplemental application for this program?

Nice job getting the supplemental application! I still haven’t gotten mine yet because I don’t have SAT chemistry scores to submit…

Not sure how many get the supplemental application

Every year about 4,000 people request the application, ~1,000 get it, and ~100 interview for about 20 spots!

The NW HPME has raised again this year the UG requirements - 3.7 UG GPA and 3.55 sciences GPA, OMG !!!

As an undergraduate, an HPME student attends the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Communication, or the McCormick School of Engineering on the Northwestern Evanston campus. HPME students participate in a flexible, individualized undergraduate program that may be completed in three or four years prior to matriculation to Feinberg School of Medicine. Though HPME requires specific science courses to ensure a strong foundation for medical school, each student’s course of study is different. Students work with faculty advisers to design a custom curriculum incorporating special academic and personal interests. HPME students must have a 3.7 cumulative GPA and a 3.55 science GPA at the time of graduation from the undergraduate program.

Hey CC, what are y’all uploading in the “Extra Uploads” section of the second HPME app? Not sure what else to put…

Once we submit does anyone know when results are supposed to come in? Like based on past years maybe

@medgirl6 my research

I might put my resume, not sure. Kind of sad I don’t have a research abstract though :frowning:

Does anyone know how many people are interviewed and how many people are accepted post interview?

Has anyone on this forum attended an interview for HPME recently and can you provide an update and general overview of your experience? Thanks.
