I can’t create a permanent password, I’m following the instructions for the temporary password but it is not working 🥲

If you go into the pre-matriculation portal and then "Georgetown University Electronic Credentials" you should find your netID

I used my NetID and the gu sample password, but it is saying incorrect. Did anyone else run into this issue?

You don't get to make your own password. It has to be one of the ones that is generated and given to you.

I don’t get to the screen where you use the generator. I get prompted for a password which is where I assume you use the temporary password.
 
Anyone get a financial aid package that wasn't only loans? Does GUSOM have scholarships or grants? This place is my dream but I really don't think I can afford it with only loans.

I got a scholarship for 23k, everything else is loans.
 
How much should we take US News rankings into consideration? I really like GUSOM and I recognize that it graduates really strong, competitive candidates for residency programs, but its USN ranking seems really low and that's giving me pause... anyone's insight/thoughts would be appreciated :)

Rank on any one odd year isn’t as important as trends. And Georgetown unfortunately trending down over the years.

Do we know where we could get an answer to this? Email the admissions committee? I really like Georgetown but idk if I should choose it over my other higher-ranked acceptance. The low/falling ranking is really my only concern

This is exactly where I'm at too... idk if its kosher to email adcoms because it seems like kind of a shady question to ask. I emailed an M4 that I met on the virtual second look day essentially asking how much I should be considering USN rankings. I anticipate that she'll say it doesn't matter much because GUSOM has such a good history/reputation with competitive residency matches. PLus the current students couldn't speak highly enough of their clinical education at GU/MedStar.
 
I heard their step 1 pass rate has decreased recently. Something to consider.

I have a few friends that are M1s and M2s there and I've heard the same thing. Part of that has to do with a lot of the classes being taught by doctoral candidates that focus on bringing their own niche research in their MD lectures instead of focusing on more clinically relevant stuff. It's definitely something making me think twice about coming here - got an A a couple weeks back. Interviewed in November. I think hearing this^ combined with their falling rank and average match list, I'm probably gonna end up choosing my higher ranked school. Rank may not be everything but it certainly is an indicator of where the school is going.

Thanks for choosing the other school!

I think the reality is for y'all (I have no skin in the game). Georgetowns reputation is strong within the residency world and nothing is gonna change that. The curriculum/some of the stuff that goes on at the school isn't always the best. But at the end of the day the Georgetown name remains incredibly strong at every residency program around the country.

I recommend sending in an LOI if it’s your top choice! I sent 2 and I think that rlly helped me get accepted.
It’s not too late. I sent my second LOI 17 weeks post-II and got in the following week! Hope this helps!

Can u share when u were waitlisted? Thank you!!
 
I am sorry for being neurotic but could someone who is currently waitlisted at GUSOM tell me what tab names they see in the portal? Did it always say "Admission Offer" as a tab even for waitlisted applicants?

I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday! Interviewed back in October, waitlisted in January, then finally accepted!!!! Good luck to those of you on the waitlist or waiting to hear back : )

Does anyone know if there is a GroupMe for accepted students?

Thanks! No, not waitlisted. Just a long period of anxious silence. However, I might withdraw my acceptance once I hear back from another school. Best of luck!

Has anyone done intense internet stalking/asked the ADCOM and have any idea how likely it is to get off the waitlist 🤣☠️

Is gtown known to match FA packages/give out scholarships?

I spoke with financial aid the other day who told me all institutional funds have already been dispersed, so even if they have some money reserved for late acceptances, I think it unlikely they will match packages.
