i called georgetown today and they essentially told me over the phone i had been rejected. I asked them if they reviewed my app they said it was sent to the commitee already and that i should hear something in two weeks. sept is in two weeks and is the earliest they can send rejections lol. hopefully i'm wrong but i'm not too optimistic at this point

Yeah I think they probably sent out a few invites today and the spots filled up quick. I will see you on November 1st though! Good luck!
 
So I was complete 8/3. Should I be worried I didn't get an invite? Is there anybody else complete that day that didn't get one?

To answer some questions on this board:

1. You WILL NOT be able to make a 6 PM flight if your interview is at 3:30 or 4. DC is the worst. BUT, tell them that you have a 6 PM flight (if you can't get anything else) and they will interview you first. This will have no effect on your interview status.

What about a 6:40 flight? That is my only option from Reagan, otherwise I have to take Dulles which would be an expensive taxi right?

Depends on what day of the week, but you should be fine. You don't have to go through the city at ALL to get to the airport. I once got from my front door in Georgetown to my GATE at Reagan on weekday in less than 25 minutes. Just make sure you check into your flight in the MORNING before the festivities start.

Obviously if you have a 4 o'clock interview a 6 pm flight is going to be tough, but that's true of any airport in the country...
 
so i submitted my secondary on july 25th, but my mcat scores didn't come out until august 14th. i'm complete at all of my other schools except for gtown...should i give them a call or wait it out a little longer?
 
For Georgetown, does the status page ever change from complete to under review? Or does it remain at "congratulations... All required questions have been completed and your application has been successfully submitted" until you're offered an interview or rejected? THanks!

I dont think it changes. I got an II Friday and it still just shows that my application was complete 7/26
 
Is anyone who has received interviews MSTP? Jw if those have been sent out yet.

Yeah, you basically won't get any other updates on that page until your admissions decision is updated.
 
Good luck to everyone interviewing!

Does anyone know if Georgetown would be cool with rescheduling an interview? Classes just started, and one of my profs won't let me out of an exam the day of my interview.

I know Georgetown is a catholic, jesuit school. And something that really attracts me to the school is its active religious life. But, it just seems like a little part of the school. Should I mention it in my secondary? This is really the only school i mention religion in my secondary, but I don't know it's still taboo to talk about. I don't wanna put anyone off by talking about it. What do you guys think?

I mentioned it in a cursory way. I was raised as a Catholic and said that I was eager to study at a progressive Catholic institution. Completed 7/27, II 8/17.

If your religion is important to you, you should be able to write about it in a tasteful way that an adcom shouldn't be put off by--especially at a Catholic school.
 
When does Georgetown begin sending rejections? I was complete 7/19 and it's been silence since. I was wondering if I should give them a call and ask of I've been looked at.

Oo yeah Woops. Completely forgot about that haha. Better not to bug them then. And thank ya! I've been lucky so far!
 
II this morning, complete 7/30. They only had dates for mid-November. Really excited!
 
Is it too late to submit a secondary here? I received it a while ago but got bogged down with other secondaries and work and haven't completed it yet. I am worried its too late now with so many II out already. Advice?

Interview Invite!!!

Completed 8/21, II 8/30, Scheduled 11/27

Anyone else interviewing on that day?? we should get a drink afterwards! Lemme know!! :laugh:
 
If I have a 6:30 flight out of DCA on a Thursday I should be good to make it on time if I try and get an earlier interview time, correct? Will Admissions/someone hold onto a bag for me so I can jump onto a cab right after?

Also...best/cheapest way to get to DC from Philly on a Wed. Night would be the megabus correct?

Trying to plan out a 4 day trip to Philly+ DC and get three interviews in while I'm there. I'm from the midwest so I can't keep flying out for each one individually!

i would say mega/bolt is cheapest, and i would look into amtrak if you want fastest/more comfortable. good luck!

yeah they ask you if you have to leave early and then you get the 2pm interview.... I got to the airport 3:30ish i think and I had to walk to the hotel to get my stuff! you can also leave your stuff/luggage in a room when you get there in the morning if you rather do that. contact the admin office and they might hook you up with a student to stay the night with.

Interviewing on Wednesday! Anyone from last week got any tips?
Click to expand...

pretty straight forward I would say! the interviewers will ONLY have access to your ps and activities... that's it... so I wouldn't bring up any low grades.... and basic questions on why med and why Gt.

I'm def sold (their location, philosophy, early patient contact, 100% residency match last year), soooo if i get accepted :xf: i'm DONE... i'll be in DC for the next 4 years 😀 (wish it was that easy lol)

Thanks for the info!

Anyone else interviewing 9/5?
 
Not rejected yet! 3.00/33 URM.
 
Does anyone have the link to the app status check website? I lost my complete email somehow.
 
Hey guys, I just got my secondary this morning but was sent 3 different emails about my PIN 2 hours apart. Did anyone else have this?
 
Yes, I did as well as a bunch of other people on this thread, no worries! I just used the most recent one, since that was the only password that seemed to work for me
