Northwestern HPME Part 2

<p>Could someone send me that powerpoint?</p>

<p>Are the recommendation letters that are sent to UG sent to HPME as well, or are they separate cases?</p>

<p>Also, what additional requirements does the HPME application have?</p>

<p>Hello everyone, </p>

<p>So I’m currently a junior in high school, and just found out about the HPME at Northwestern. I’m an Illinois native from around Chicago, so I will definitely be applying to NU. From what I’ve read on here though, I’m really confused with the whole getting interviewed for HPME but not being accepted to regular undergrad. </p>

<p>What would you recommend for someone who’s not at the tippety top with stats: apply to HPME or just try for the NU undergrad? (Mine aren’t too shabby… but I’m not up there with the geniuses and definitely not captain/president of a million sports/activities)</p>

<p>The only thing I see myself doing in the future is being a doctor, but I don’t want to sacrifice the opportunity of going to NU if their undergrad will think I’m not interested if I don’t get in to the HPME program.</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the HPME Application Request form is going to be released? I think the website says late September, but does anyone have a more specific date?</p>

<p>What happened to all the HPME applicants? This is about the time the interviews and rejections start to come out. Did anyone hear anything?</p>

<p>They told us that they would notify for interviews in mid to late January. when did they hear in past years?</p>

<p>Last year, the earliest invitation reported on CC was 1/6/11 and the latest was on 2/18. Who told you the invitation will be sent out mid to late Jan this year? HPME official?</p>

<p>“If you are selected for an interview, you will be notified (via email) mid-January through early March.”</p>

<p>From the HPME application webpage.</p>

<p>@davev61 - i got this from Jennifer Howard (from Feinberg) via email
“This message confirms that HPME has received your application, secondary school report, and additional required information. You will be notified of your interview decision in mid to late January.”</p>

<p>I’m a junior in high school that is looking to apply to the HPME NU/Feinberg program. I was reading the site ([Selection</a> Procedures](<a href=“MD Education: MD Education: Feinberg School of Medicine: Northwestern University”>MD Education: MD Education: Feinberg School of Medicine: Northwestern University)), and I was confused as to the dates. As a junior in high school graduating in 2013 have I missed the deadline? I can’t imagine that they would want applications this early…so am I to presume that I must apply before December 2012??? Thank you so much for your help. I just recently discovered CC, and it is amazing.</p>

<p>No you have not. You have plenty of time …</p>

<p>ealelectric posted in the NU link that she/he received the interview invitation yesterday. Anyone else received the same email???</p>

<p>trololololololololol</p>

<p>I got an interview!!!</p>

<p>Congrats!! Could you share your stats? And are you from east or west coast?</p>

<p>I’ve never done this before so idk what stats to post.</p>

<p>SAT 2280 ACT 33 SAT Biology 660 Chemistry 720 math2 750 lit 700
Most rigorous curriculum offered at my school. Valedictorian status. 4.2 weighted GPA. </p>

<p>I believe I am underqualified but my ECs and essay might’ve done the trick.</p>

<p>Oh and I’m from the midwest</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got invites and good luck with your interviews…</p>

<p>From the stats I have seen, I guess NW is also giving equal importance to non-academic aspects such as strong ECs and essays…</p>

<p>^^ Thanks, the first two invited are from the mid-west. Hopefully they start to invite people from other area soon.</p>

<p>got interview im from the south</p>
