I know this was discussed earlier, but as we are getting more interviews, is the consensus still that it is better to miss a pre-interview dinner and go on as many interviews as possible? I just feel bad missing dinner.

I think it's hard to know because it's program-dependent and while everyone says it's optional, it's research-proven that people like you the more they see you (at least on average) -- but personally I would probably only prioritize dinner over interview if it's one of your top programs

How important do you guys think the reception at Northwestern is specifically? It sounds like there will be attendings these... worth missing another interview?

I would specifically ask Northwestern about that.

I've heard from fellows and resident that attending the dinner or not varies with the program. If the program you're interviewing at allows residents to have a say in the rank list, it may be worth it to go. If they don't, it's up to you. You also get to learn more "behind the scenes" stuff from the residents that you may not want to ask on interview day x2
