The anticipation culminated as advisors, students and families gathered at the Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center in Chicago for the official letter-opening ceremony.

This year's event saw a remarkable milestone, with 68% of students matching at residency programs affiliated with the top 25 U.S. medical schools, marking a record-breaking achievement for Northwestern's program.

A total of 135 students matched in 23 different Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-certified residency specialties. Among the most sought-after programs were Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology and Orthopedic Surgery.
