Hi everyone! I was recently accepted off the waitlist at Georgetown and now need to decide between Georgetown and Rush by Monday. I would really appreciate any insight, especially from current students/recent graduates or anyone familiar with Georgetown’s culture and clinical environment. I am...

Hello. I would like some input on these two schools. Let’s say that the cost of attendance is equal and so is the cost of living (I only want to know about the merits of the schools and their programs). Which school would be better in terms of neurosurgical mentors, opportunities, and research...

Hi everyone! I have been accepted to both the George Washington University and Georgetown postbac programs and was wondering please whether anyone could please provide fresh perspective/info on these or a more direct comparison weighing the two. I've read through a LOT of posts on each but am...

Hey all, This is something I've been wondering about for a while that his piqued my intrigue and slight confusion. I'm sure (like with most things) it's my naivete, but I can't help but notice that this site really does not look on Georgetown too favorably. I've been searching through some...

UF Pros -Cost: CoA is significantly cheaper 50K -Great Fit, all current students seem very welcoming and easy to get along with. -Very good match list, but perhaps the weakest of the three. Interested in a competitive specialty. - Administration seems very supportive and mentorship seems...

Hello SDN! I am a recent graduate of the hematology/oncology fellowship at Georgetown University Hospital and I wanted to spread the word about a course we have developed called the Georgetown Business of Medicine Course. It is a virtual course consisting of 12 modules on different topics like...

Hi all, First time poster long term lurker here! Hope anyone who sees this is doing well and safely hiding out in quarantine. I applied last cycle unsuccessfully (cGPA3.56, sGPA3.3, MCAT 511 with decent volunteering, ECs, and full time work in clinical research) to allopathic schools with 0...

Hey guys. I was recently accepted into both Stritch and Georgetown for medical school next year and was wondering if I can get some insight on which to choose. I really care abut research and the academic side of medicine, health advocacy, a condensed curriculum style, and where I can match well...

Hi Guys! I'm a long time lurker on SDN and recently made an account to get some advice. I'm applying to SMP and post-bac programs to improve my academic record (I have an upward trend in the last two years). I already have tons of research experience, clinical shadow hours from scribing...

Hi guys, I am an MPH student at George Washington University. I am working on completing my culminating experience and I need some assistance. In exchange I will answer any questions about GW MPH program I am looking for young women to complete online survey in order to learn more about birth...

Hi everyone! I was hoping to gain some feedback regarding SMP programs. I browse enough threads on here and figured it was just time I posted my own. I currently have a undergrad + post bacc cGPA of 3.1 as per the aamc scale. I am hoping to have a 3.14 by the end of the fall sem and a 3.18 at...

I am a second year premed student majoring in biomedical sciences and have a minor in pysch. I am thinking about minoring in chemistry but is it worth it? Do med schools even look at minors? If i were to take up this second minor i would not be able to finish a semester early. My goal is to go...

Hi guys, I noticed there's no thread for this yet. I was accepted 5/3 and I was wondering if any alumni had any input on this program/ its helpfulness for med school. I am also considering GT SMP and would like to hear some of the differences of these two programs besides the technical...

Hi friends! I was very interested in both these schools, and was wondering which one of them was better for undergrad if I wanted to apply to med school in the future. Some specific questions I wanted to ask were: How hard is it to get a good cGPA and sGPA at Georgetown vs. at Williams? (By...

Hi guys! Just wondering if any of you are applying for the Fall of 2019 cycle! Let me know if anyone else is applying!

OUWB pros: close to home, newer facilities, less competitive, students seem happier and more social, almost a 100% matching, already found housing cons: in-state (I've always lived in Michigan so I feel like I won't grow as much), newer school so not as established, attendance is mandatory...

Hi all! I just graduated from the GeorgeSquared Advanced Biomedical Sciences program in May 2018. Please feel welcome to post any questions you may have. I would love to share my insight and be as transparent as possible, since I too was in your shoes searching on SDN last year. If you have any...

Hey there, is anyone applying to GEMS when the application opens in January?

I need advice on choosing between these two schools. UAB is my in-state school and I have a scholarship of $10,000 dollars per year at the school. However, I recently was accepted off of the waitlist to Georgetown SOM. I really love the new 1.5 year curriculum, extra elective rotations...

Wayne State University Pros: In Detroit (home for me), which I love as a city, and also very close to family Many opportunities to work with underserved populations/participate in clinical care Several hospitals to rotate with in the area Seems like a good "environment" to be in (doesn't seem...

Hi all, This is the first time using this service so bear with me. I am trying to do a public health-related master's degree right out of undergrad and need some help and expertise. I've gotten into the following programs MPH- Imperial College London MPH- Univeristy of Edinburgh MPH- King's...

With all of my current accepts, I am definitely leaning towards Georgetown. The one school I am waiting to hear back from is WashU. I realize at this point it is more likely a waitlist than an outright accept. So, if I am accepted to WashU at some point, I could definitely use some outside...

I recently was accepted into both the Columbia IHN MS in human Nutrition Program as well as Georgetown Special Masters Program in physiology. I applied to med schools this cycle, but I have not gotten in anywhere yet. I was wondering which of these two programs would be most helpful at getting...

What is the reputation/impression of neurology residency at Georgetown? How are they in getting jobs (including academic) after residency or fellowship at Georgetown? I know they are the best in DC but I hear that they are not as well regarded among the top programs and I am wondering why since...

Hi! I couldn't find a preexisting thread for Georgetown SMP 2018-2019 class applicants, so I thought I'd make one. I applied 10/14 and my application was marked complete 10/18. On Nov 1st I got an email saying my application was under review and I should receive a response in 2-3 weeks. My...

516 MCAT, 3.43 overallGPA, 3.2 scienceGPA (but went to an undergrad currently ranked #3 in the nation with the worst grade deflation ever). Current M.S. student. I am working on secondaries and I am wondering if I should complete all of them due to very very late timing. I am very late due to...

My dream medical school is Georgetown. I'm looking to apply to either the SMP or the GEMS program and will likely apply to both, but I'm wondering if anyone who was involved in/know of first-hand information about the two programs and their chances of matriculating to Georgetown can give...

Happy New Year everyone! This thread is for everyone that will be applying to GEMS this cycle! Feel free to post throughout the application process, and keep us updated on your progress!

Now that GT is P/F for its preclinical years, how would one go about comparing/deciding between GT and Wake Forest? GT's newly-retired grading system seemed to be its biggest downfall in old threads. Any input is welcome. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I think this is my first posting in a long time, so please excuse if this is in the wrong place. I recently graduated from UT Austin (well, one online class left, will be finished in a week or two, but basically graduated). I've received an offer from a job in Washington D.C...

I am currently deciding if I should attend the Georgetown SMP or if I should work for a clinical practice in my gap year after completing my degree. I have a 3.61 GPA, 3.59 science GPA. My main question is: is my GPA too high for an SMP to be really helpful to my application? In the last year...

Anyone know how the GU and GWU MHA programs compare?

I'm a waitlisted applicant for two programs at Georgetown: The MD PhD program, and their MD-only program. Does anyone here know if there is ever any movement on MD-PhD waitlists, or am I better off switching to the MD program to increase my chance of acceptance? I'm worried that while I am on...
