FA at Georgetown. They give it. I know people who got full tuition. I also know people who got nothing. The thing is, you need to get your FA info in early. Also, be persistant. If they give you nothing, ask them to re evaluate it. Worked for some lucky members of my class.
As for the waiting game.... It stinks. However, it is worth the wait. I interviewed Nov 20.... waitlisted and didnt see an acceptance until April 9th. Do I care now? No. I am at the school I wanted to be at. Best advice is to sit back and relax. Those of you still in undergrad.... ENJOY whats left! It is way easier.... like 100000x easier than Med school. So just have fun.
Anyone waitlisted? Its very common. Georgetown does not accept many people right away nor do they reject many. The theory is that they want to have the right students, ones that want to be here and embrace Cura Personalis. I must say, it works. The current M1 class is awesome. So many unique individuals. Georgetown is not big on just accepting High MCAT/GPA... they want the right match. So, if waitlisted, and you really loved it here. Write that 3 paragraph letter Ms. Sullivan spoke of. It worked for me.
Lastly, Student life. We are really happy. I am sure you will catch us on off days (week of an exam) but that is normal. Trust me, our school is a family and we try to keep each other motivated, relaxed, and happy. Plus, lots of fun things to do in DC!
Thats it. Good luck to everyone. I am sure you will all see great success
