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

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.

Nah it seems like they have a better chance even beyond nupsp. nw loves nw undergrads

Part of it might be that Northwestern likes protecting its yield, which is why we see a higher Post-II acceptance rate for in-state applicants, the strong consideration of LOIs, and like youre saying, even a preference for Northwestern undergrads

I've heard from a NW alum that the preference for NW undergrads is huge. My undergrad also does this (even tho i havent gotten an II lmao but ill live) - personally i dont like that vibe because its just cagey imo. Schools should be open to admitting students who studied in other places and more largely playing well with other schools

It sucks for those who got into better schools than NW for undergrad, but our schools don’t have a med school/don’t favor their undergrad students. NW is such a top school of mine!

I actually got into NW for undergrad but chose elsewhere so I feel you :')

But they definitely still admit a decent amount of non-NW people like I know a couple from my undergrad and theres this girl who went to Brown that posted an application cycle video

I also got in and chose somewhere else 😂
