competitive applicant pool is a fancy way to saying "waitlist". I don't know why, but a lot of medical schools are trying to shy away from saying the "W" word. They all call it something other than a waitlist.

Although a waitlist here is pretty good news, I am still so bummed. I really wanted to cancel some interviews, now I cant... Guess its time to write my letter to sullivan.
 
gotya thanks

i apparently am wrong when i saw that those who interviewed do not get rejected. did i hear wrong when i was in the fish bowl?

i thought i heard similarly....

what did she say about that letter again? i know it's the only way to get off wait list. but what were specifics, just three paragraph?

that would be weird if they told you that because i definitely remember ms. sullivan saying they reject about the same number they accept (about 1/4 accepts, 1/4 rejects, 1/2 waitlists)
 
linkin,

u need to write to that dean of admissions in a 3 paragraph form.

send the word doc to mrs. sullivan attached in email.

best of luck. hopefully i will not be writing but prb will.

i might wait a couple weeks to see if i hear back from other schools. how late do u think is too late to send it in?
 
not sure to be honest, i would wait a few weeks as the first day of admission was on thurs.
 
I am so very disappointed, I really was counting on this to be an acceptance. I will be sending in that letter soon, but none the less I am very depressed right now.

do you mean like the first day of the adcoms meeting and deciding on us was last thurs? i didnt know that-it makes sense that they only got through 2 weeks of interviews if thats the case

Hey man, I'm pretty depressed as well. Another waitlist for me! Oh hooray! All the time and money I pour into this admissions process isn't paying off. This sucks. Looks like I'll be drafting a letter as well. I hope they respond quickly and with good news. Good luck!

Yea man, I feel your pain. I really wish I had put this interview for my second or third and not my first. I think my interview jitters got to me. But I hear the waitlist is still a good avenue to an acceptance.
 
Yeah, I know what ya mean, but a waitlist is so much better than a denial. There are so FEW straight out acceptances here, its crazy. We're all gonna make it in!
 
Rejected after not hearing a word since submitting the secondary. Not fun news to hear right before taking a midterm. 🙁
Good luck to all those wait listed, I'm sure if you are meant to be there you will get in!

Sorry to hear this. They usually send out mass rejections, so if you don't mind my asking, when and how did you learn it?

I hope this wasn't your first choice. Good luck with other schools.

I was complete in mid August. Got an e-mail this morning.. Looks like I may be a lone wolf..
 
Busy couple of days in here. Congrats to those who were accepted, condolences to those who were rejected, and hope to those on the waitlist!

I just interviewed here on Thursday. Turns out Mrs. Sullivan was the same admissions officer I spoke with on a visit to G-Town a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, she wasn't terribly impressed with my application then, and I don't think she will be now. We'll see what happens.

hey does anyone know when we will hear back if we interviewed the week of 9/13-9/20?
Click to expand...

I interviewed on 9/18 and called this morning to ask. The response was "within the next couple weeks."
 
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ms. Sullivan say that if we get waitlisted, after we submit our letter and if we asked where we are on the waitlist that they would tell us our exact spot and how many were ahead of us?
 
Anyone know off the top of their head what tuition is this year at Gtown (plus any other required fees like insurance, computer, etc.)

I was guessing about 45,000. Is that low?

But the question is, when do they put us in actual order? Probably not until like march!

Ya, I also interviewed mid sept, and when I called they said they will review our group this Thurs, and so it should be a couple more weeks until we hear back.
 
do you think if we called on friday they would tell us?

just a thought.

Nope, I got a big R today too 🙁
I also had not heard anything since being complete the end of August.
 
you are right, apologies to all.

just not thinking.
 
I know most people are concerned with acceptances right now, but has anyone complete in early September heard any news about interviews yet?

I love this school, but the wait is killing me!

Just to give those of you waiting for an interview some hope, I was complete on July 30 and I didn't get an interview invitation until October 7, with no correspondence at all in between. Georgetown seems to take their time... (with some applicants at least)
 
Has anyone gotten a server error message for secondary application fee payment???? I got it 3 times, using both IE and FireFox. I couldn't submit the application b/c my payment was incomplete..... I sent an email to them just now....
 
Hey everyone, just a heads up-i called admissions and the lady i spoke with said we should be finding out either today or early next week (i interviewed sept 14 so probably anyone who interviewed around there will be in this batch). Good luck to everyone awaiting news!🙂

Just to add on: I remember from my interview, they said that the adcom meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month. Sounds like they probably met yesterday!
 
hey all-
I was marked "complete" on Sep. 2 and received an interview invite on Oct. 6 for mid November. I wouldnt worry about not hearing from them though, I went to Georgetown for undergrad so maybe they're interviewing alum first? I'm not sure, but I wouldnt worry, I had tons of friends who applied last year and didnt hear back until December and January despite applying late August/early September (and many of them got in 🙂

good luck!

Looks like it will be early next week...
 
Anyone send in their waitlist letter yet?
 
Drafting a copy of my letter today but am probably not going to send it out for five or six more days. Three paragraphs, right? Did Mrs. Sullivan give us any more specifications?
