Whew, I'm sure that was a nail-biter for you. And now you have the whole hurricane-filled weekend to explore DC - lucky you! Smithsonians, museums, national landmarks (minus the Washington Memorial and National Cathedral - they sustained damage in the earthquake).
Even luckier that the hurricane seemed to whimper more than bang, at least around me to the west. By tomorrow, all of that fun stuff should be open. 👍 Enjoy DC!
I just bumbled around campus and found where I'm supposed to be tomorrow.
Any advice on how to get there from Rosslyn? Is the GUTS bus going to be running tomorrow?

Guts is running tomorrow so you shouldn't have a problem.
Good, thank you.
Also, it must have been freshmen move in day on campus or something.
Very nice. It's okay, I'm only 20.

That went much better than I could have imagined. Dr. Sandler was the best interviewer I could have asked for.

oh, right. thanks a lot.
No. Just bring a pen.
They have your primary without your grades/MCAT, but not your secondary. They also have access to nothing beforehand.
So it's semi-open? They'll have EC's and PS, but no grades. Interesting.

Every one in my interview group went to the optional stuff.
do you know if it's worth it to do an "in the area" email to georgetown if i'm coming close to DC from NYC for an interview at USUHS?
Definitely. They were very receptive in my case. I got an interview at GW, sent an email, and got an interview at Gtown for the day after my GW interview.
Had my interview Tuesday last week. Really disappointed with myself, I completely miss-interpreted one question and gave an incorrect answer for another (answered it in a way that makes me look worse than I actually am).
I really hope that it doesn't put me out of the running here. The admissions staff was totally cool and sold me hard on the school. Would be awesome to hear good news, but I'm not holding my breath.
If you have any questions about interviews, feel free to PM me, but honestly I might not be the best source of info considering my performance last week.

Everyone in my group did the optional stuff as well, though one person showed up a bit late to it.
How were you rejected?
Maybe they thought this was just a safety school?
I know someone with similar stats who got an interview. That's why I'm perplexed.

Different Ecs? crappy LORs? not so well written personal statement? I'm sure medical schools check for more than just the "stats"
I know they do. But it's odd that someone has been rejected so early in the cycle.
Rejected...
They have a hyperlink on their "applyyourself" webpage that says, "view your decision." I was not contacted via email.

Must not show up until they make a decision.

good luck to the rest of you

Hey, all you guys who found your rejections on the site today... when were you complete? My site looks the same when I log in... no decision link...
Percy: judging from the other threads I've been following, you have 38329285 other interviews, so I think you're good to go 🙂
Complete 7/27. Haha, and I guess I'm doing ok, but nothing's in the bag yet. I'll be crossing my fingers until I'm settled in my new dorm. 😛

Was everyone rejected a high MCAT, low(ish) GPA group? Clicking around some MDApps of those who posted and it seems that way. Was the case with me
Rejected via status update - no email.
I have an interview coming up. OOS/38R/3.8
don't know if that's the case. i just have crappy stats (<3.4, 32S)
I have similar stats to onecountry.
Those stats aren't lowish dude.
