<p>sounds good to me! congrats!</p>

<p>still tryin to decide between HPME and Harvard, but VERY likely HPME</p>

<p>pitt's program because i lived there over the summer and loved pittsburgh and the medical opportunities... the financial aid and in-state tuition for both undergrad and med school.. the friends already there, </p>

<p>and i think pitt's med school and feinberg are pretty comparable, atl east ranking wise, and when i visited I was impressed by both... feinberg definitely has a better location smack dab in chicago but i still liked pitt's med school</p>

<p>basically financial aid and low cost may play a big factor b/c right now my dad pays for my bro's tuition at penn and my mom would pay for my undergrad tuition... i don't want her to work and let her retire earlier so she can relax more and not stress about paying 40,000 a year for northwestern</p>

<p>but first i gotta get into pitt's program (5 out of like 80 interviewed)</p>

<p>Who will be at NU on the 17th-19th??? Is it true that there will be a hpme meeting?</p>

<p>who told you there was an hpme meeting??
and i'm going to preview nu 19-20</p>

<p>this may seem like a silly question, but we can't opt out of HPME right?</p>

<p>i don't understand what you mean.
you can choose to not accept the offer.</p>

<p>Cjunkie-I'm doing the preview 19th-20th.
And Mistaippa- I believe you can "opt out" of the program if you decide you don't want to do medical school or want to go somewhere else for med school.</p>

<p>If you opt out while you're in hpme, you have to graduate in 4 years instead of 3. <a href="http://www.cas.northwestern.edu/advising/hpme.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cas.northwestern.edu/advising/hpme.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I talked to Eve Veis...There is INDEED an HPME meeting during Preview NU on the SECOND day of each session from 10-11. She didn't tell me where it is taking place though, so I'll just find out when I get there.</p>

<p>I'll only be there on April 19, but I'm goin to the first session's (Apr 18-19) HPME session from 10-11.</p>

<p>Will they send us more information about the program? Their website is okay but I kinda feel like I don't know what to expect since they didn't talk to us at the interview or anything.</p>

<p>Ms. Veis told me that they will send more information after May 1st when they know who is actually coming.</p>

<p>Great... that's going to make this decision harder.</p>

<p>Oh good, I'm glad there's a HPME meeting thing. Hope to see some of you guys there on the 20th.</p>
