Northwestern University Feinberg acceptance rate

PreMD does not publish an acceptance rate for individual schools. The free national sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so an acceptance rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number.

What can be published from those figures is the ratio: Northwestern University Feinberg received 8,610 applications for 140 seats in the entering class, or about 61.5 applications per seat.

Who Northwestern University Feinberg accepts applications from

DACA applicants

Students with DACA status are ineligible for most federal assistance programs, and thus must secure private funding through a participating lender with a US-based co-signer.

Community college coursework: Coursework completed at a junior or community college will be included in our holistic review. We recommend that the required pre-med courses be completed at a four-year college or university.

Northwestern University Feinberg rankings

PreMD does not publish a ranking of medical schools and does not republish anyone else's. Ranking tables are licensed products, and a number reproduced here without its methodology and its year is worse than no number at all.

What this page publishes instead is the comparison above: where the school's own reported figures sit among the MD programs that report the same figure, with the count of reporting programs stated so the comparison can be judged.
