<p>^yeahhhh totally</p>
<p>um guys i'm in deep ****...i don't remember if i told my counselor to send a separate SSR. yeah.
of course, school's out already, so i think i'm just going to give up (no use begging my counselor, she could care less).
but maybe contacting Northwestern could help...or not.</p>
<p>its ok, just send it in right after school starts again. hpme doesn't care</p>
<p>oh and about recs, hpme does not receive the recs you send to undergraduate admissions, but it doesn't hurt to send extra recs to the hpme office if you think they will help. I wouldn't send more than a total of 3 though unless you have a very good reason to.</p>
<p>thanks jcr182, I think you've convinced me to send an extra rec, and just hope for the best with the ssr.</p>
<p>and to everyone else, does anyone know if northwestern still has that (maybe accelerated...) md/phd program for hpme people? i vaguely remember seeing it somewhere and it sounded cool.</p>
<p>just curious, but what is SSR? is it another name for transcript? i've never heard of it before...</p>
<p>how long are ppl's essays? does HPME have a strict word limit (like the admission office at Yale?)</p>
<p>SSR = Secondary School Report.</p>
<p>ahh. i should have thought of that:b</p>
<p>Question: is there a word limit for the HPME personal history essay...b/c mine's running around a 1000 :(</p>
<p>ok nvm, it won't let you tyupe more than 1000 words</p>
<p>Wait, you're submitting your HPME essay online...?</p>
<p>well...yea....the online app</p>
<p>Sorry if I'm just being really ignorant here, but can you give me the link to submit the HPME essay online? All I know of is the one for the NU supplement. I thought the only way we could turn in our essays was via snail mail.</p>
<p>it's here: <a href="https://apply.ugadm.northwestern.edu/hpme/%5B/url%5D">https://apply.ugadm.northwestern.edu/hpme/</a></p>
<p>however, i think I've heard something about that if you send in your HPME card by mail and get the paper app, you have to send in the paper app</p>
<p>Ahh, got it. That's only for people who turned in the Northwestern app and didn't do the Common App. Thanks though, Shobhit! :D</p>
<p>oh, wow, for a minute there I was wondering where the hell the online hpme app came from...but nvm, i applied w/ the common app, so the world maakes sense again:)</p>
<p>hi guys, i just found this thread but i'm applying to HPME as well!</p>
<p>i hope to submit my app today :)</p>
<p>Hi guys, I just sent in mine today. wow, what a relief!</p>
<p>same here...</p>
<p>haha, did it a couple days ago...and now i'm totally done w/ all my apps! (a good thing, too, seeing as i'm leaving the country tomorrow morning and won't be back until well after Jan. 1, lol)</p>
<p>Whats the application card? I only have an acknowledgement card, or at least I think I do.</p>
