If I may ask those kind sirs/madams who've sent in 2 or even 3 LOIs, what did you guys write in your subsequent letters?
Without any major updates in the past few months, I find myself merely "re-re-reiterating my interest" as I write a new LOI. And as there are only a finite number of reasons that have drawn me to Georgetown...I'm wondering if multiple similar LOIs will actually help?
Any wisdom?
has anyone received an acceptance packet of any form? I was accepted a few weeks ago, and they said that they would be sending one out sometime in april.
Chill out and wait
Interviewed 2/15...CAP'd today 4/18 - so decisions are coming out
I was accepted off the CAP on April 10, waitlisted in March, and interviewed early January. It changed my status to accepted but I never got a phone call? Did everyone who got accepted get a call?
Anyone else interviewed 2/27 or later hear back yet?
Unless you go a little further out from the immediate campus area, so Fauxhall and north burleith area, you will have a hard time at this point. A lot of the townhouses and such for rent were leased last October or so because a lot of Juniors and Seniors from the undergrad live off campus in the same neighborhoods.Is anyone else having a miserable time finding housing near campus?
Try Rosslyn, cheaper and there's a GUTS bus that goes there.
Good idea. I spoke to a few med students who said it was very convenient living within walking distance of campus, particularly when staying on campus until late at night, so that's why I haven't looked farther out. Would you say most med students live outside the immediate Georgetown/Foxhall/Burleith area? I noticed Dupont Circle has a GUTS bus stop as well.
If you want to live near campus then I totally understand that. However, in my personal opinion living in the Dupont Circle or Rosslyn area would probably give you a better living experience. Yes you would have to take a free bus to campus everyday, but they run every 20 minutes, and run every 5 during peak times (8-9 and (5-6). But more importantly, I think it gives you a better sense of DC and gives you many more options during the free-time you have. I have been an undergrad here for four years and although the Georgetown area is very nice, it got old rather quickly once I turned 21. But if you are more focused on the school part then yea, I would try foxhaul or maybe a little more north of campus (anything from wisconsin and 35th and a few blocks north are not that far away from the medical school.YES. I cant find anything... I hope something opens up soon though.
Touche, but does the medical school not follow the same status as the university? Or does that not apply to days of exams?I wouldn't want to depend on GUTS the day of an exam. Especially with inclement weather. Just saying.
Most students live in Foxhall or in Glover Park, both are about 10-15 minute walks to campus.
I would recommend living near campus. It's just convenient. Most people I know who live far from campus don't go to class and only show up when they need to. It's definitely nice having a bunch of other med students around for social reasons. It's true that Gtown itself does get a little boring. However, you don't really have a ton of free time, and when you do, it's easy to get to Dupont or Adams Morgan (by public transportation, GUTS, or even cabs are reasonable if you have a few people). It's more expensive near campus, but I think it is the better option personally. If you just have a bit of time to chill with friends, living far will just be annoying since pretty much everyone lives close together. If you want to avoid other students at all costs, by all means move far away. But most people hang with other med students, so living close is a very good thing. I would definitely live close first year, and then maybe consider moving away second year if you really want to.
Another note about GUTS. They run about every two hours or so on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays. Not always the convenient option.
You should be able to find housing in Foxhall or Glover Park. I didn't find my place until June, so there's time. Keep looking, but also wait for the social network to open up. People post listings on there specifically because they want med students. Or, you can find roomies who already have a house, or find a group to help make the search easier.
He's going on a completely different path, to become a religious preacher, which I totally commend him for. So its nothing to do with administration or switching jobs at another school because of a problem with us here, just following another path of life.do you guys think dean brandon schneider's departure means anything in terms of the school's administration? No
I'm not sure why he is leaving but anybody know more about this?

Has anyone gotten an invite/been able to get into the class of 2016 facebook page? Haven't gotten a response from PS yet.
So I'm looking at UT's budget and they have estimated $8,370 for books and supplies for M1. This vastly surpasses the other schools I've compared this budget too...does anyone know why it's so high?
is cleveland park considered far away from campus? I"m trying to find a place around campus that other med students will be near to
Accepeted today. Interviewed 3/9. Best of luck!
Congrats on your acceptance!
I submitted a letter of interest this weekend. Ms. Sullivan responded today saying that Dr. Lauerman will likely not read letters til the end of May (presumably once they have a better idea of how many spots are open).
when were you CAPped?
I was CAP´d this weekend by email also. What did Ms. Sullivan say we should include in our letter of interest if we were waitlsited/CAP´d?
