Still not delivered, I'm going to mail another one in tomorrow, this sucks. I hate the post office, I've had this done for a week now. Why can't they just do things electronically.

How do you know? If you checked your online USPS tracker, it may take a day or two to update. Call their automated number get an up-to-the-minute info.

You can actually fax your application in! It happened to me- the post office never sent it or it got lost or something, so I called and they told me to fax it in. I would call to give them a heads up!
 
also on hold here. completed 28/7.

you are placed on hold cause your stats are too awesome.

Haha thanks guys, appreciate it. They put us all on hold because they can't handle our amazingness yet. Don't worry our time will come!
 
blahhhh hold for me too... i wonder when we'll hear anything... i'd rather just know now if it's a rejection...
 
Sorry if this has been said already, but have they sent any rejections yet? Or is it just hold or invite?
 
i was complete on 7/15 and my status says still being reviewed. Does that mean its prob just going to go onto hold...

have there been any rejections yet??
 
Does George Washington Medical School use weighted GPA?

thanks in advance

Vincent
 
Yay, I'm complete!

Now what? Long, endless months of waiting and self-doubt?

I dont think anyone in this thread has been rejected yet. Anyone have an idea when they start rejecting people?

Sometimes I wish more schools took the Boston U route in dealing with apps. At least when they do rejections first, you can get it out of the way and move on. But all these other schools have you waiting and waiting. I swear I'm going crazy.
 
How long after you sent in your 2ndary did they take to post as receiving it? Im just curious because I addressed the envelope to the address on the application and not the one of the website. I think it should be fine becuase the only difference is one says suite 716 and the other says Ross Hall 716. No biggie right?

I believe I used the address on the application as well. I sent mine in on June 29th and was complete on July 14th, so 15 days.

are you implying University of Texas or University of Tennessee?

I love TMDSAS. They do not take into consideration your +/-...so all of my A- becomes a 4.0!!!😱

I believe he is referencing the University of Toronto. I think the original poster mentioned canada.
 
I didn't have a chance to cycle through all the previous pages if this question was brought up or not previously, but I am about to finish my supplemental app and want to make sure I fill out the course pre-req part correctly. Since my school doesn't give credit hours I had to wait for AMCAS to convert, but under the column saying "Earned Credit Hours" on the supplemental application, I would list the "Sem Hours" from my AMCAS as oppose to "OT Hours," correct?

Thanks!
 
YAY! I got an interview invite today! I'm sure a lot of people got one, but it's my very first invite, so I'm pretty excited. Anyone else joining me on the interview trail?

Congrats, I just got an invite as well. My first one too! Complete 7/28. Interview date on 10/6.

Does anyone know if GW has student hosts?
 
What do you guys think? Should I send in my secondary even though I have a 5 in verbal>?

Don't waste your money. I had a 4 on my verbal but I retook the test and improved by 5 points. I used EK and Kaplan verbal for practice. Retake the test and your chances will improve greatly.

I called the office today and was told not to "worry at all about being on hold" and that a majority of the applicants are placed on hold...also if you're re-taking the MCAT they do not make a final decision on your application until they receive your scores and will then put you on hold in the interim....so don't worry about the hold status!
Click to expand...

that makes me worry even more because this majority of hold applicants probably aren't good enough to get interviews until they have received many other applicants and deemed them even more unworthy.

I've already used Kaplan and EK....not sure how much I can improve. I'm assuming the 4 was your pre-study score?

waste of time...anything less then an 8 is just too low..really anything less then a 9...but an 8 is still feasible.

Why don't you try private tutoring or something?
Click to expand...

I guess that's an option but obviously something that would require a large time commitment. I've already done a Kaplan class - not really private tutoring but if that didn't help me I'm wondering how much private tutoring would.

What's the status something like "we've made a decision on ur app and will send u an email shortly mean"? (Sorry don't have access to the gw page now, typin from my phone, so don't remem verbatim)

I've never had a on hold message...complete email on the 28th

(Also from OOS, florida, if it matters)
Click to expand...

I think it means you have an interview (at least that what it seems thats what others who got interviews got)? Though i suppose it could also be a rejection though it seems they havnt started doing that?

WHOA whoa whoa... I just checked and have that too...
Correspondence concerning the status of your application has been sent to you via email.

Please tell me their haven't been rejections.

EDIT: People with hold messages - did that come via email?
 
I don't understand, last cycle, i applied with a 31 and less ECs, and i didn't get put on hold until like november/december... this time i'm applying with a 36 and more ECs and i've already been placed on hold...

i suppose i'm just unlucky...
