Idk about the photograph, I myself had not sent the picture!
thanks

I actually took a look back at the e-mail and it said to send it to this email address:

[email protected]

Trying to screw me over? haha

Oh, my bad. I sent mine to this address though! Sorry 😛

 

[blackandgold1]

So my primary hasn't even been verified yet but GW sent me a secondary. Is that normal? Am I supposed to go ahead and submit it??

Yes. I did that too. Good luck!

 

[AZFutureDoc]

So what's the consensus on the pleading guilty to offenses and stuff? They are very vague in the way they ask the question. I only have a few speeding tickets, and they are not misdemeanors of felonies in my state. Thanks for the help.

anyone know if GW will hold your file review until your future MCAT or will it just review the score that s currently available?

if you checked the box on your AMCAS primary that you just took/are waiting to take the MCAT, then they will wait until your scores come.

even if you have already sent them a set of scores?

 

[SBAKSHI]

even if you have already sent them a set of scores?

Yes. I have sent one set of score to them. They are saying that they are waiting for another set (for me). My app is complete too. Nevertheless, on their website they say that they will notify you for interview if they like your first set of scores.

So I sent my secondary application in via snail mail... on July 8th... and my status is still "We have not yet received your GW Secondary Application."

At what point do you think I should call to check or just resend it via e-mail?

Call them and if they havent received, then send an email

 

[252e77]

I got the 'application complete' almost a week ago, but the status website still says "we have not yet received your application...". Anyone have a similar issue?

 

[upchurch]

just submitted via email. Good luck everyone!

 

[thestrokes14]

To those curious:

I sent my secondary in via email on last Saturday, and just got an email about them receiving it today (Monday). Only took 2 days (over the weekend)...

What does your app status page say?

 

[flight24]

I submitted my primary late last night and they sent me a secondary link early this morning. I guess they really don't have any pre-secondary screening at all since my app is obviously not even verified yet.

 

[mdterp7]

i have this same issue. i called admissions and they said that they only update the status page once a week. but if you got the 'complete' email then that's the most recent status.

 

[citrusguy2010]

anyone know if they're rereviewing the "rereview" statuses yet?

 

[byuhusker]

anyone know if they're rereviewing the "rereview" statuses yet?

I'd like to know the same!

 

[yogi 0101]

for those of you interviewing, how are you preparing for the interviews?
3.72, avg mcat, invited 7/8, a week post completion

thanks, because I am starting to freak out.

My premed advisor has offered to "mock interview" me the week before, and I have also been reading GW's past interview questions here on sdn. The link is:

Hope this helps.

Alas, it refreshed... hold for re-review :-( sigh...

 

[percy]

Same here. In all fairness, it was the first secondary I sent, so I knew it'd be rough... Hasta la re-review!

 

[edge of desire]

i was put on re-review too. i feel like gw must be loooking for some...extracurricular? b/c there's beeen alot of ppl re-reviewed with high and low stats. also, has anyone been rejected flat out? i don't think so...

 

[kevinc2]

Hold for re-review 🙁

Is there a good chance of getting interviewed later or is it more like a nice future rejection?

 

[DrMcHindi]

+1 to the re-review stack. bleh.

No people have received interviews after being put on hold.

 

[MrLahey]

No people have received interviews after being put on hold.

yuck

 

[252e77]

yuck

yeah, that about sums up my reaction too. Oh well, hopefully it's not an omen of things to come, since this was my first secondary submitted as well.

Either way, best of luck to those who got interviews!

 

[Chemdude]

I just realized that Ross hall is about a ~10 minute walk from the White House...that's mad cool!

 

[gridguy]

No people have received interviews after being put on hold.

That is simply incorrect - I was put on hold during the 2009-2010 schedule in August and then invited to interview in February. Obviously I did not get in, but I am sure some of my peers did.

 

[citrusguy2010]

No people have received interviews after being put on hold.

maybe it was meant as "No, people have received interviews after being put on hold"

 

[PeterPesto]

That's exactly what I meant 🙂, sorry for the confusion!

 

[252e77]

Those pesky commas...

Whew, that's a relief though. Thanks PeterPesto!

 

[Nymphicus]

On hold for re-review
3.45 BCMP

37Q (12, 12, 13)

Interview Invite just now!!!!

Mailed: 7/7
Secondary Completed: 7/13
On hold for re-review: 7/19
Interview Invite: 7/28

 

[edge of desire]

so i guess one person on rereview got off it (nymphicus) -- must mean they're actually rereviewing us...

 

[edge of desire]

nymphicus, you didn't do anything in the meantime (btwn rereview and interview) correct? I mean you barely had any time to add anythign to your app, lol.

i emailed mine and i think it lost some scanning quality (esp on the pic) -- wonder if that could've contributed to a bad first impression? just a thought. congrats nymphicus!

 

[Nymphicus]

I did not do anything in the meantime. Honestly, I pretty much assumed hold for re-review was a lost cause.

If you are worried about your picture, I guess you could always send a new one. I doubt that the picture quality made that much of a difference though. Mine was printed out on regular (not photo) paper and taped to the application.

For reference, my assigned date was Sept 22 but I am hoping to change it to a different day of the week.
"Our interviews are scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays only. Due to time constraints, please reschedule your interview as soon as possible. We will make every effort to offer you a convenient alternative time. "

[lovedocta07]

hey do you guys know how they select someone for an interview? is it mainly gpa and mcat? or LOR's EC's and secondaries as well

 

[SBAKSHI]

I am pretty sure its the entire thing..! No college would judge the applciant only on one criteria (like only numbers, or ECs or LoRs)..

 

[SS01]

For those of you on re-review, do not fret! I was in the same position last year. I ended up getting an interview in February, and was accepted in mid-march!

 

[SeminoleVesicle]

Tufts and WashU would...

 

[SteveJMarist]

My question is if anyone has been rejected yet. It seems like every non-II applicant lands on the re-review status.

hey man, what's a "non-II" applicant? also, haven't submitted my secondary. thumbs up if you're slackin' like me too 🙂

 

[SteveJMarist]

Non-interview-invite applicant. I sort of made up the abbreviation on the fly. Sorry about that. I actually submitted the secondary around a month ago and am on re-review myself.

 

[hockeyhy]

The mass rejections generally go out later. I think the dates last year were late octoberish, late novemberish, late februaryish, then finally around april was the final rejection.

 

[serenade02]

So we can email our secondary instead of mailing it in (the secondary said mail it in)? What about the picture?

One more question, so a speeding ticket would count as an offense? 🙂 Thanks guys

 

[pez319]

Ugh..rereview pile. I'm curious if anyone's gotten a rejection instead of being sent to the pile.
