Rejected via status page 🙁
However, I also received an interview at another school, so that made up for it

 

[LeoGer]

Just looking for verification: the decision status doesn't appear until they've made a decision, right?

Yes, I assume so. Nothing for me either.

Correct, until last night (when I logged in and found my rejection notification), my status page just showed when my application was complete. When your status changes, there will be another link posted underneath the note that states your application completion date.

GL to the rest

 

[FattySlug]

4th rejection of the cycle. 3.64, 3.7 33M from CA.

 

[TheyCallMeMr]

rejected via email to check status page. 30M; 3.92

 

[rocko56]

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

In the same boat.

 

[lzane1243]

Rejected as well. Avg stats. Feeling a little pathetic in the cycle so far...

Edit: Via email to check status page.

 

[Comeon]

3.95 GPA + 32 MCAT. I am in the opposite boat, but sailed in the same direction - land ahoy! welcome to rejection island. Rejection island is located in an archipelago full of other rejection islands and it seems like I have been hitting a lot lately.

Add another one to the list

 

[PeterPesto]

I've been complete since 7/15 but haven't heard a peep then. Guess I'm on hold 🙁

Sorry about the bad news, but thanks for the entertainment.

 

[Comeon]

At least someone appreciates my humor. I have been putting down "a good imagination" for these diversity questions on secondaries and it has not worked in my favor. 🙁

+1 rejection via email to check status page. no love from the DC schools.

 

[hockeyhy]

[stressed07]

I wasted 33 and applied here. I expect to get my rejection any day now.

 

[HokiePremed]

Wow, it's rejection day today. I was rejected via status page tonight with pretty good stats if I do say so myself. On the plus side, I already scheduled 4 interviews. Good luck to everyone else though!

 

[PeterPesto]

Has anyone been complete since 7/15 and not been rejected? I feel like I'm an island here 😎

 

[hootiehoo]

I'm kinda guessing that Georgetown weighs undergrad rank/name pretty heavily.

or they just know some of these people aren't gonna choose them. just like tulane and bu.

+1. I was just hiding in the trees.

 

[CamCameron]

Add me to the rejection cruise. Got an e-mail yesterday saying "A decision has been made about your application. Please go to applyyourself to view the decision." I debated not even checking it, figuring that Decision + No Interview = Rejection. Checked it just to rub it in.

 

[hoosier86]

interview!!!!!!! woohooooooo!

 

[EyeDigress]

+1 🙂

 

[thestrokes14]

Anyone know if its possible to send updates to Georgetown/who to send it to? Thanks.

Go to the ApplyYourself website, and sign in. Click 'Application', then click 'GU SoM Post-Submission Updates' (on the left). You can upload updates via this website.

Complete 8/2, Invite 9/8!

Definitely grateful for the invite, although I've never heard of uploading a picture by saving it in a Word document before. The Georgetown IT department may want to do a bit of upgrading...

They contract the application program out to a 3rd party service, so there probably isn't much that Georgetown IT can do.

I was only being half-serious. However, in general I've found both the application service as well as Georgetown's actual website fairly unimpressive (hard to navigate, dead links). I'm certainly not pre-judging the school and I'm really grateful that they invited me to interview. Not that it's a big deal, but a .jpg is not exactly an obscure file type to be able to upload to a website.

 

[ncrassa]

Interview (complete 7/15; 3.9/35).

 

[chocofudges]

I was complete on 8/19 but have gotten no response yet hahahaha. I hate waiting 🙁 . I once ran 5 blocks, almost got crushed by a car (people on the side walk gripped each other and gasped lol), and jumped through closing train doors just to avoid waiting 20 minutes for the next train . I felt like Neo.

 

[PlacentaSac]

Anyone Interviewing Tomorrow or Monday...?

 

[PlacentaSac]

anyone...?

 

[SteveJMarist]

anyone...?

Me! 😀 Monday. I am VERY excited...

 

[crazyasian]

Anybody know if Georgetown likes updates? I just uploaded my new transcript to reflect my summer classes, but I can still delete it...

oh hay, sup?

Seems update-worthy to me.

Heading to the airport. Hurray!
