I'm in the same boat, 124 CARS but overall is okay 512. I'll just send in my secondary hoping they'll look at the rest of my app and hopefully it resonates with themQuestion, if I have an MCAT sub score below 124 should I just not fill out their secondary?
"Is my MCAT score competitive enough to apply to your school?
Applications are evaluated holistically without assigning weight to a particular section. However, section scores below 125 are considered non-competitive."
You guys think going 10 font is a little too much? Feel like I have so much to say about everything Georgetown has to offer, hard to fit it all on one page!
Hi guys! I'm here trying to pre-write secondaries while my AMCAS verifies I'm just a little confused on the prompts. Are there three total then? Also does the character count include spaces?
Prompt:
Why have you chosen to apply to the Georgetown University School of Medicine and how do you think your education at Georgetown will prepare you to become a physician for the future? (1 page, formatted at your discretion)
1. The Georgetown University School of Medicine strives to ensure that its students become respectful physicians who embrace all dimensions of caring for the whole person. Please describe how your personal characteristics or life experiences will contribute to the Georgetown University School of Medicine community and bring educational benefits to our student body. (1000 characters)
2. Is there any further information that you would like the Committee on Admissions to be aware of when reviewing your file that you were not able to notate in another section of this or the AMCAS Application? (1000 characters)
Welp....didn't realized it was closed and I definitely wrote about and submitted already. Although on the link that talks about them being closed it does say it's temporary and they are in a transition period looking for new locations to continue the services they offer sooooo I'm hoping it's okay I still mentioned itSo I'm writing this why essay and came across HOYA clinic. Is the clinic still closed?

Probably not, although you want to go as early as you can I imagine. If prepared.Is there any harm in not picking the first available date?
negatoryII too!! For anyone else who scheduled the interview, is the "guide to interview day" loading? trying to book flights and don't know whether to leave day of or the next day.
Reagan (DCA) is the chillest airport I've ever been to, and its like 15-20 minutes away with trafficalso no. does anyone know which DC airport is better?
also no. does anyone know which DC airport is better?
The first date is 8/20To those who received II's, what is the earliest date available for interviewing?
In regards to the essays that are within the personal information section... the first one is a diversity essay for the most part, do you think it's okay to leave the second one blank? I haven't started any new jobs or activities, don't really know what I'd be writing about.
Is georgetown rolling and strict about the two-week deadline?
The Georgetown secondary was the first one I finished. Unfortunately still waiting to submit due to letter writers, these interview responses are making me anxious :\ but congrats to everyone who has received!
I pretty much just got straight to it, but with a good segue because the first sentence is about myself which I then immediately relate to a reason why Georgetown. I wouldn't dedicate a whole paragraph to intro if it doesn't add much to your reasoning.For the one page essay, did you guys write an intro/conclusion, or did you jump straight into reasons?
did you have an intro/conclusion by any chance? I'm having a real tough time on those rn and need to submit todayI pretty much just got straight to it, but with a good segue because the first sentence is about myself which I then immediately relate to a reason why Georgetown.

I didn't have an official intro/conclusion. Like I said, I kind of just got right to the important bits. If you're struggling to fill a page, you could put a sentence or two of intro, just make sure it isn't too much fluff. As for a conclusion, I didn't have one really, but that's mostly because I had a lot to talk about and didn't have much room left. I could see how you could take a sentence or two to say "to sum up, [insert a brief list of the mentioned reasons]". Don't worry about it too much and just write about what's important to you!did you have an intro/conclusion by any chance? I'm having a real tough time on those rn and need to submit today
I'm in the same boat. I just wanna get straight into it. And yes, I am running out of room at size 11 fontI didn't have an official intro/conclusion.

Of course, but do they have to be their own paragraphs?Every essay should have an intro and conclusion, but it can be as short as one line.
