I did get a secondary. I've been complete at VCU since mid July with no status update since.
That's really annoying
. After the fifth week, I figured the internet just lost mine or something . The hold is kinda meh...but honestly, I think no status change is better than being put on hold. Being put on hold means to me that the application just wasn't "superb!" No status change means your application may very well be superb, you do not know yet; but being on hold at the very least means it definitely wasn't...if that makes any sense..Ha ha, yeah, it's a tough call determining what the long time before my status change could signify. It most probably means I'm right on the border of something (II/hold or hold/rejection). I feel there's nothing wrong with convincing myself it's the prior. 😀
Been under review since 7/17.... No news otherwise... This sound normal?
II email today
Submitted 7/23
Lizzy M ~70
OOS with no hold status before interview (i may or may not have been checking my status everyday so Im pretty sure it didn't change)

We're in the same boat!
Normal? Is there such a thing in these parts of the world?

Just got put on hold. I think (hope) they're waiting for updated grades after December...eek.
May I ask when you were complete?
I was complete on 7/22.
Did anyone get an outright rejection or was everyone placed on hold?
Here to join the hold club. Complete 7/21.

I was complete July 14 and still no status change...
When were you complete? I saw that you were also rejected from UA - phoenix..I'm so sorry! It definitely has in-state bias so don't feel too bad.
On hold 🙁
I submitted my secondary 7/24 (had letters and MCAT already processed there) - so I assume that's complete?
I'm not too bummed about Phoenix. Good luck to you too!
I submitted my secondary July 17th and have been "under review" since... Gah update me c'mon GWU!
Joining the hold list…didn't receive an email but it was reflected on my online portal.
Does anyone know if GWU is receptive of "very interested" emails this early in the game?

On hold too, complete at end of July, not sure if it is a good or bad thing
anyone complete in august receive an interview yet?
Any fellow canadians get a status change or II yet?
Nope. On hold for 3 weeks now.
My status has yet to change from "under review" ...
When were you complete? Took them about a month to get back to me.
July 14 hahah
No response is better than a hold at GW IMO so keep plugging away!
Anyone interviewing 9/02? I'm getting pretty nervous 😕
Don't be nervous!!! I just interviewed here, and it's really relaxed. Everyone is super nice and friendly, and the building is beautiful. Just try to have a good time, be yourself, get to know people, and have nice conversations about your experiences and interests in medicine/GW. This was a very low stress interview day (for me, at least), so I'm sure it will be for you too! You'll do great! 🙂
Hey Terps1011, congrats on your interview! If you don't mind me asking, were you given an interview with the 29 mcat score? or did they wait for your retake scores?
Just asking because I also fall into the 29mcat category, I really love this school and am currently still under review.

My retake score was a 29! So there's absolutely hope for you too! 🙂
I haven't gotten a secondary from them either!

on hold foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I'm currently on hold. I went here for undergrad. Submitted 7/21.
Would you mind saying your stats? I too went here undergrad, but I haven't gotten an update whatsoever. I was hoping we'd get a boost as alumni.
GPA 3.65/ MCAT 31. Yeah, I thought that they had a slight preference for GW alums. According to MSAR, 18% of matriculants went to GW as undergrads too.
I wonder how many of those 18% were part of the 7 year BS/MD or did that early assurance thing.
