This coupled with the fact that GW is an extremely OOS friendly school (170 of 177 students last cycle were OOS) this encourages applicants from all around the US to apply.

Well I think the OOS thing is a little difficult to measure because its DC. Unless instate means maryland/virginia or something????

Aw this is a good point, though I imagine that there is a category for in-staters (hence the 7 who were classified as such). You can't deny it though, the OOS students has a large representation at GWU and coupled with the GPA/MCAT averages that it has it makes sense why it attracts so many applicants each year.

yes, the in-staters are DC residents, hence it is so low (DC has a population of roughly half a million maybe)
 
Yea, virginia/maryland is considered OOS. its weird to consider one city IS but considering that DC has more residents than the entire state of Wyoming and pays more federal taxes than 19 states, it makes a little more sense.
 
Interview Invite today! I was complete on the 14th, can't wait!!
 
Congrats on the invites guys!!

Looks like I got shuffled into the group with no status update...hmmmm

complete 7/13
 
Yeah, it sucks being stuck in a limbo on this school. But no status update is better than a re-review update as per what was said above, but who really knows, maybe it doesn't mean anything.
 
Man this sucks! I am applying to 25+ schools and submitted most of my secondaries already..just waiting on the damn committee letter. It won't be ready to mid-august, talk about screwing me over😡. I went to GW as undergrad and its an awesome place to be, so I'm hoping I get in even with my late application!
 
hey guys, my application was just "complete". How long has it been taking to hear back from their whether u r on hold or interview?
Thank you!

Secondary submitted 7/11, complete 7/15, invite 7/18.
 
Really surprised at the quick response by GW. I submitted my secondary on 7/17, got the complete email 7/18 and was offered an interview 7/19.
 
just out of curiosity, does GW ever hand out rejections after the initial review? or just hold/invite?
 
So as far as I understand it, after you submit the secondary they send you a confirmation email. I sent it snail mail 4 weeks ago but have not received an email. My file says I am complete on their website though. What does that mean?

Same, but I imagine it shouldn't matter if you have been marked complete.
 
I went to print my secondary app out and my computer froze!!!AHHH! talk about frustrating. So much BS I had to redo it. Anyway, it's in the mail now. Just gotta get those letters in.:luck::luck::xf::xf:.

So when are the first interview dates that people are getting?

Secondary submitted 6/25, complete 6/28, interview invite 7/7.
 
PM me if you want to swap GW essays (the big one about why GW is the program for us). This is one of my top picks, so I really want to do it right.
 
3.67, 30Q
Secondary submitted 6/28, complete 7/13, put on hold for re-review 7/14
 
I'm finally complete! How long does the file review take? It seems that most people only had to wait 1-2 days to find out their status.
 
Has anyone else been compete since 6/29 and still on the "complete" status?
Neither hold nor interview.
 
cGPA 3.77, sGPA 3.80 MCAT 32R. Hold for re-review.

Anyone guess, how long a "re-review" will be.
 
Man..on hold for re-review as well. I hope that this isn't such a bad thing...🙁
 
For those of you who are placed on hold, how long after you application is completed does that status appeared? I was completed in 7/19 and was put on hold today (i think, i didn't check the status yesterday). That was really fast and I feel like they didn't even try to read through my application...
anyone else get place on hold immediately too?
or there are at least 4-5 days between the completion and status change?

Not sure when I got placed on hold...it seemed to be pretty much right away- maybe a day or two, if that.

I don't think they read it either...but then again, if they don't read them- why are we placed on hold? Are our credentials (gpa/mcat) not good enough?

As soon as I received a complete email, I went to check my status on the website...I was already on hold.
 
Hey I'm curious where you saw the applymd email? I've only seen medadmit, even on the secondary itself.

edit: on the secondary website, duh. lol

In the email that instructs you to complete the secondary, there is a link you can click on and the applymd address is listed under the Instructions section. Hope that helps!
 
They are waiting on my MCAT score now..I was interested in knowing that..so if any of u is taking/retaking it, they will wait till your new score gets in! Wish me luck for 29th! 🙂
 
Waaah, I got an interview!

Yay! First interview invite so far!
 
First interview here too! International Applicant.

Complete: 21/07

First interview invite! Complete 7/21, Interview Invite today 7/22, scheduled for late-September, but I might have to go with another date (FYI, they interview Tu/Th/F).

To anyone else on hold, good luck! I'm on hold with 90% of my schools, this was a diamond in the rough for me.

Some info about interviews:
The interview day lasts from 9:15 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. The day will include informal visits with students, a tour of the Medical School and GWU Hospital, and presentations on Financial Aid and Student Opportunities. Lunch will be provided. You will receive two interviews; one with a faculty member and one with a current student. Each interview will last approximately 25 minutes. Please be aware that interviews are blind and your application has not been reviewed by your interviewers prior to the interview. We cannot provide information to you about your interviewers prior to your interview date.

Interview invite! Complete yesterday. MCAT 33+ GPA 3.7+
 
To anyone who e-mailed the GW secondary:

What e-mail address are we supposed to e-mail the scanned application to? And is it true that we can e-mail the photograph of ourselves separately as a JPEG?

Not sure if this information is anywhere...the application never seemed to say you could e-mail. Any help would be really appreciated!
