has anyone been sending in more than 1 letters of interest/intent in a month?

I agree. A better question would be, has anyone sent more than one letter of interest/update at all? And I would guess most would say "no" (I've sent 1).
 
i've sent two letters lol. and in the area notices. no response from any of them other than the standard "we got your file" reply.

Yeah I sent a combined in the area/update letter and just got a standard response. I doubted that they were going to act on my in the area request. Oh well...
 
Does anyone have any insight as to when it's best to send an update letter / LOI after being waitlisted? I'm tempted to send one right now (was put on the AL about two weeks ago) but I wonder if it would be better to wait until the end of March/beginning of April when they're going to start looking at us AL'ers again.. otherwise I wonder if my letter might just get stuck in with my file and never looked at again.

Any advice on the timing of this stuff?

Thanks!
 
Just got the Alternate List today 🙁 The message was a bit deceiving. "We are pleased to inform you..." I got super excited and then fell flat on my face when I found out that it was an alternate list. UGH. Letters of interest...here I come!

Felt the same way when I read the message. Also confused by the wording cause it makes it sound like there aren't really that many in the pool yet from here it seems like if you dont get accepted your on the alternate list. Oh well here is to waiting till may.
 
are there any current students on this thread?
 
Interview invite today!!!!
are they still interviewing for spots or just wait list at this point.
i love this school!!

When was your interview?
 
I am trying to start planning my second-to-last summer. Anyone know when orientation starts this year? Or when it started last year for the class of 2015? Thanks!
 
hi all, i just checked my status after interviewing and it's "Correspondence concerning the status of your application has been sent to you via postal mail to your preferred mailing address on file with AMCAS."

Is that an acceptance or wait-list? I live abroad so it might take weeks to get here!
 
Interviewed 1/26. Sec App'd in Nov. 3.7/31Q

They said not to expect anything (anything at all) until March 26, which is my birthday.

Please give me a good bday present GW!

Definitely not a wait-list, since the status for that is very different

Edit: Congratulations!

Looks like a recent group of acceptances has gone out
 
Accepted via email yesterday! Interviewed 1/6. So excited... I'm now in at 3 of my top 4 (one of which is GW) so I've got some huge decisions to make!

Congratulations!! Would you mind sharing your stats? thanks
 
Whoa...acceptance from 1/6?? that's so quick...makes me nervous...interviewed 1/13 and would give anything to be at this school.
 
Pre-interview rejection. Lame! I interviewed 2 years ago and improved in nearly everything since then. Oh well. Good luck to those who are waiting and congrats to those accepted! Such a great school!

Been on re-review since July, no rejection (yet). Is there still a chance at an II?
 
been complete/on hold for re-review for forever and still no email updates here...
 
Put on hold 7/19. Finally rejected today 2/10 via email.

Good luck to everyone!
 
Accepted via email 2/9.. interviewed 1/6 🙂 yay!! first acceptance for me.. soo excited!!! Good luck, everyone!
 
rejected yesterday, youre welcome for the fat check GWU
 
Just got an e-mail saying to update them on new developments and that there is a very slim possibility that Admissions will offer more interviews.

Yes! Sooo weird. We're like the backups to the backups.
 
Yeah I just got that e-mail too...never heard of anything like that before? Why would they do this if they have a waitlist already?
 
yea.. I got that email as well. I'm assuming everyone that got rejected got that same weird email?
 
Agreed, its really weird. Seems kind of early to end interview season.

I think it's separate from the rejection e-mails. It's sort of a 'you're almost rejected but we wanna leave you hanging in case none of the accepted people want to go to our school.' 🙂
 
Yep got that strange backup's backup e-mail as well.

"In order to remain under consideration for any potential interviews, we request that applicants send an email [email protected]. Please note that your interest cannot be made known or tracked via telephone.
This email must include:
1. Your Name
2. AAMC ID #
3. A detailed explanation of your specific interest in our MD program"


But I already told you why I want to attend GW in my secondary! What more can I say? I really really really want to come to GW? pretty please with a cherry on top? :biglove:
​
 
I got the email too, second year in a row... Insulting. Can a school be more arrogant?
