Anyone actually know how often Dr.L reviews the letters and there is movement on the list?
 
Around when did the last group of people to get acceptances/rejections interview? They told us 8-11 weeks at my interview which just seems sooo long and I was wondering if they actually take that long. I interviewed 12/22 so I won't be hearing anything for a while, but I loved this school so I'm anxiously waiting for a decision!
 
unfortunately i would expect to wait. they interview a large number and it probably takes them a while to go through it all. good luck tho.

I think the latest interview group that was accepted (as far as what was posted here) was around November 5. I interviewed the week after that and have still not heard. So yeah, you might be in for a bit of a wait.
 
I just got an email stating I got in off the CAP, this is seriously the best news ever! I will 100% be attending! Good thing, I was about to write another letter and get a letter of rec. Good luck to those still waiting!

Congrats guys! Still waiting here 🙁 Damn it! Why does Dr. Lauerman hate me so?!?!?!

Same here! still waiting on CAP movement. Although, I have a bunch of friends who are first years at gtown, and nearly all of them got in off the waitlist...reallly late, like May. So I'm not holding my breath.

So does anyone know how many people are actually on the CAP?

thanks guys, that's reassuring to know that waitlist movement continues well into late spring and just because we weren't selected to come off the cap this time, all hope is not lost🙂

Here is a list of important dates linked off of the MD Accepts page. There's not too much there right now but it's good to know they have a date picked out for the re-visit!
 
Just got notified I'm in the CAP. Interviewed 2nd week of November. I'm actually pretty happy with this, considering how many people seem to get in off this list... and I didn't get rejected outright. Too bad it means more waiting though
 
Does anyone remember the statistics Mrs. Sullivan gave regarding getting off the waitlist? I seem to remember that last year, the vast majority of people on the waitlist who wrote "the letter" got in... just wondering if anyone remembers the numbers.
thanks

I heard slightly different numbers but somewhere between 70-85%. I think about 150 people are eventually accepted off the CAP. Write a good letter and good luck!!!

Ok, that's encouraging. Thanks!

+1. I think your chances of getting in is really high once you send in a letter.

For those who interviewed, did you sense the students there were happy or indifferent? I thought Georgetown students were the least happiest among all the schools I've interviewed at. Of course, it may be because it was on a rainy day.

It was such a good day. The sun shone, I got to go for a run, I played with two puppies.... And I got accepted at one of my top choice schools! Woohoo! Didn't expect to hear anything from Georgetown until next month at the earliest.

I didn't get this feeling at all, I stayed with a host the night before and met a lot of students and it really seemed like they all loved it, especially the students who gave us our tour, they just couldn't praise it enough. 🙂

I can not wait to hear from here, its killing me, why do they take so long?!

Same. I thought my student host and his friends were awesome. I had a great time at Wisconsin St. with them. Worse comes to worst, I'll be the damn life of the party at gtown!! DC is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I interviewed in November. Don't worry if you haven't been accepted yet, as they are rolling. I've talked to other people I interviewed with, and they haven't heard yet either. I was just lucky, I guess.

Interviewed the week before you, heard back yesterday. You probably will hear in the next couple weeks, but they seem to be pretty sporadic and unpredictable...
 
yeah, I just found out a friend interviewed the same week you did (Ay) and found out in December...haha I just hate this waiting game!

While I never sensed any feelings of despair, it was a pretty interesting tour that I had with some of the students. The thing that stood out for me was when I asked about the REALLY high cost of attendance and what the chances of getting any type of financial aid from the school was for people of less fortunate means.

The student's response: "every medical school will put you far into debt. There really is no financial aid at any school, except for MAYBE Mayo."

I found this ironic because a)this is complete BS and b)I ended up getting into Mayo.

I liked the school, but not enough to pay the price tag. Maybe they'll come through with the aid package though? 🙄
