Thank you to those who are sharing the awesome news about their invites! Good luck! For those who haven't heard, I'm keeping the hope alive for us all
I believe those that live farther away will be called first. I live in Maryland,so I am still keeping the hope alive and trying to be patient ....Dont forget you guys if God wants you to be in this program then it will happen. It does not matter if you are the first one to be called or the last
Hey, does anyone know whether to select Georgetown University or Georgetown University School of Medicine for the FAFSA?
Just got my rejection letter. Good luck to the rest of you!

Congrats to those who've received interview invites. A few words of advice for the interview day.
1. Don't be late
2. Don't be late
3. Don't stress over the science exam administered during the interview day. It's used to gauge your knowledge level and has no bearing towards admissions.
4. Be enthusiastic and be ready for a long grueling day so get a good night's sleep the night before.
5. Be yourself, have fun and ask lots of questions. We're here to help
6. Don't schedule your flight home too close to the end of interview day (5:30-6:00) because that's rush hour and getting out of Georgetown is going to take awhile
See you all soon
This is cycle 3 for me...with roughly the same scores...If you really want to be an MD the key is persistence and know that admissions is a crap shoot. we have no idea what they are looking for and although very important mcat/gpa is not the end all be all...stay positive and never give up and you will get there.....First, congratulations to all of you who have been accepted! Just a quick question for those who are accepted, how many times did you all apply to medical school? More specifically, did you apply for one application cycle or were you a reapplicant? Thanks!!
So I still haven't heard anything back from GEMS. I haven't gotten a rejection letter in the mail and when I log on to the online application, it still says my application is "in review". Is it possible they are still reviewing apps?
may 6th interviewers....if you havent booked a room yet. was able to get a 4star hotel on hotwire 2 miles from campus....le meridien hotel for 74$...check it out
yup, thats it..What?!? Just checked Hotwire and it says $305!!! Can you send a direct link?
Okay, I went back and looked at the "hidden hotel" prices. Are you referring to the Arlington Falls location that says hotel is 0.7-6 miles away?
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how far/how long will it take for me to get from the metro station to campus? Is there a shuttle?
thanks!
Foreclosure: I am by no means a pro in the D.C. transit system. I traveled there in November and stayed with a friend at Georgetown Med School. With his help and a few mishaps, I noted the best way to get to the school (within my range of expertise). I figured I would inform you to the best of my knowledge, at least until someone with more experience can answer.
1. From Union Station to Georgetown Medical School will at LEAST take around 1 hour and 15 minutes. (again, this is only from personal experience of around ~7 days of working in D.C. and traveling back and forth)
2. There is a circulator bus that runs form Union Station to Georgetown, however, this bus does not start running until 7am. Not allowing sufficient time to arrive at GMS on time.
3. There is a bus (D6 towards Sibley Hospital) at Massachusetts Avenue and Columbus Circle (~5 min walk from Union Station) that drops you off right in front of the medical school. I can't recall what time the bus starts operating (amazingly I looked in my computer bag this morning and somehow came across the circulator map, hence why I know it starts at 7am).
4. From Union Station you can take the subway to Dupont Circle (a lot faster than the bus), once you get off at Dupont, walk to NW 20th Street and NW O street (literally maybe 1-2 blocks) and take the same bus (D6 towards Sibley Hospital) and it's 15 stops to Georgetown Medical School.
-- These are from my recorded notes in my phone from November. For some reason when I was in the city (probably from constantly using the Map app), my battery drained quickly so I tried to use my phone efficiently.
Hope this helps!

I am in need of housing as well from July and on..any suggestions, roomate info??
Instead of asking us you could just take the time to make sure you turn in everything they ask for. If you cannot handle that, then the program probably isn't something that you are cut out for.Hi,
I want to apply to the GEMs post-bach program at Georgetown. Can someone please tell me, when completing an application to the GEMS program at Georgetown and something or document is missing in the application process after you submit (if its not complete after submission), Do they email you back to let you know whats missing in the application before the deadline or do you have to call them to ask if the application is complete?
Thanks!
