are people that have been accepted waiting for acceptances at other schools? just wondering if there will be any substantial CAP movement in April/May...

Was accepted in December, withdrew today. Hope this helps with WL movement!
 
Any current students that could comment on Georgetowns second look day and how it did to convince them? It sounds like it will be a very professional event as opposed to some others that I will be attending.
 
There's a social site for medical students. You should receive an invitation to join within a couple of weeks of being accepted.
 
i honestly dont know why georgetown is so conservative in its acceptances and heavily draw from the CAP... the benefit of this strategy seems marginal. Nonetheless, I will be withdrawing from the CAP list... gtown and D.C. seems like an awesome place... good luck guys!
 
Losing my mind guys. I logged in to the portal, and this was probably always there, but it looks like this:

Submission Status: Submitted
Submitted Date: [Date]
Accepted

Application Status: Completed on [Date]

That Accepted has always been there, right? It has nothing to do with your post-interview decision?

I need to take a daily Print Scrn so I don't imagine things are changing...

Mine appeared like this but said "Waitlist" instead. It was updated later that night with an actual letter. I'd say it probably means you got accepted! Congrats!

So it hasn't been there the whole time?? Ahhh! This is nerve wracking. It would be my first acceptance, which would be aMAYzing, but I def don't want to count my chickens before they hatch 😳

Do you mind my asking, did you get an email telling you once it was updated with the actual letter? Also, thanks for your help, and good luck!!

I don't think it's been there the whole time, no. Mine wasn't at least.

The site updated for me around midnight. I got an email the next morning at like 6 AM.

my status doesnt say either..i was cap so idk maybe it is a sign you were accepted! congrat!
 
Congrats- I think this does reflect the decision. Just checked mine and similar, but says "Rejected Post-Interview"

Guess I'll be going to my state school!
All the best to all here

Also wondering about this. Also wondering about the schedule for the day... Anybody know anything about this?
 
Maybe some CAP movement this week.... hoping and praying!
Aren't we all!! :xf:

same!!! hoping people who have multiple acceptances have already withdrew from here if they dont want to go
That or they'll have to drop a lot of cash to keep the waiting game up haha

One of my friends withdrew last week. So to my fellow white male trad applicants, that's one more opening for us. 😛

!

i guess no movement today?? maybe tomorrow...

It was April 9th last year I believe. Just be patient - it will happen when it happens

Has anyone brought up the idea of calling in regards to their app, and if so, what's the consensus?

Calling would make too much sense 😛 - but really, haha. I would, but I have called/emailed them so much already that's it's probably borderline harassment lol.
 
what would you even say if you called? they are prob just going to tell you the usual that your app is still in the CAP list and we are having some movement soon so wait for the decesions online because we cannot give decisions on the phone..ive kind of given up on calling unless i have a specific questions

Does anyone know the status on bringing guests to second look?

I called and asked about a month ago. They said (albeit somewhat indirectly) that it would be fine but the guest would not be able to participate in every activity. I plan on bring someone with me if nothing else just to get a feel for the school and area in general.

Question: I have a flight leaving from Dulles at 8:00. I think I might not go to the event at 4:00 just to make sure I can make my flight. Is that enough time?
