While I agree with samplam to do it ASAP, I'll add that I had a II here last year, and I took over 3 weeks to submit. So don't feel like it needs to be rnrn. Quality is always the priority.

Does anyone know any M1s who are still looking for roomates?

nah, i turned it in after 1 month in mid september. depends on applicant

Do you think Northwestern undergrads get additional consideration or they are viewed as any other applicant?

Viewed as any other applicant, but you'd probably have a bit more to talk about in your secondaries and essays.

Lol 2/3 of my co-interviewees attended Northwestern undergrad. Def something of a boost imo

I'd say undergrads get extra consideration for II, but since they already take in 10-20 undergrads through their direct admit program, Northwestern undergrads might even have a tougher time getting through bc imo they are looking for a diverse class in all arenas...geographically, undergrad, etc. I know 2 undergrads last cycle who sent letters of intent there, 520+ MCAT, 3.95+ gpa, with plenty of research, clinical, volunteering and leadership who didn't get the A.

Seeing some IIs from yesterday. Did they send a wave for RD already?

interviews MD only or MD/PhD?

Just got one for MD/PhD!
