9/9. Top choice too 🙁 Does anyone know if they actually continue to review your app throughout the cycle like they say they do?

i have a friend who was wait listed in the mid-fall, updated them alllllll the time, then got in like april or may or something!! i think being proactive will take you far (or at least that's how i interpreted this story)
good luck to you!

[EndoAdduct]

On hold. Complete late September.

 

[hm4669]

I interviewed 9/9. Yup got an email at 9am EST

 

[Krispy Kreme]

On hold. Complete late September.

We should start "GW on-hold' sub-thread...

 

[NewTima]

Are rejections emailed as well?

 

[paulgilbert]

My application has been complete since late August anyone else in my boat??

 

[livelovelaugh123]

My application has been complete since late August anyone else in my boat??

complete since very early sept and still just complete- no hold or anything...

 

[astrophel_]

Same boat. Let's suppose, until proven otherwise, that it means we're all next in line for IIs...

 

[biochem149]

My application has been complete since late August anyone else in my boat??

on hold here

 

[dudrjsmed]

did anyone hear today so far?

 

[choa06]

My application has been complete since late August anyone else in my boat??

yes and my app hasn't been reviewed yet...

 

[bookworm30]

I got a recruitment email from GW. Really...You have my application on hold 🙁 how about you revisit it first?!

 

[Starbucko]

Alternate list again.
Complete: 7/17
interview: 9/23
Reapp. LizzyM >63 (top 5 undergrad, >3.9 graduate. A lot of ECs. URM). Disappointed.

sorry to hear that... when were you notified?

 

[Starbucko]

sorry to hear that... when were you notified?

9:43 am (est) today

 

[jagstar45]

So consensus is that being "On Hold" is not a death note? Website says they will review later...I'm curious if any rejections have been mailed/emailed out yet along with the "On Hold" notifications

I did not even get that email.... 🙁🙁

 

[bookworm30]

Well don't fret! This simply just means my application wasn't even memorable that they had to remind me to apply, when I've been complete since mid-August! Haha I kid, I kid. For our sake, I hope GW showers its love on us soon! I'd want to be in a class with someone who's cool enough to have Krispy Kreme as their username. I stand in solidarity over donut love! Let us one day share this during a late night study session at GW! 😉

 

[shnazer]

Emailed II today!

Secondary submitted 8/16. They automatically scheduled me for a day in December. They interview only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

When in December are you scheduled?

 

[DoctorLacrosse]

recruitment email yesterday even though I already applied. on hold today. disappointed, but thanks for the false hope guys! here's to hoping for some hold status love lol

 

[dudrjsmed]

news today anyone?

 

[Futuredoc123abc]

I interviewed 9/25 and haven't heard anything

 

[bruinpremed310]

Interviewed on 9/26, still no word. Thinking we'll hear back on Monday but who knows.

 

[HeLaDeala]

Interviewed on 9/26, still no word. Thinking we'll hear back on Monday but who knows.

I interviewed on 9/23 and I haven't heard anything either. I wonder if they know how many times I've checked the status page in the last 48 hours...

Oh god, I'm with you there. Some people heard back yesterday, which led me to hope to hear from them today. Since that didn't happen, I feel like we could hear anytime from Monday until 8-10 weeks (since interview day). Quite a nerve-wrecking process.

Thank you so much! What a wonderful comment..... You are right, let's hope all of us will hear back from GW soon, and we will study for USMLE together! I promise I will bring a box of warm donuts.

 

[Hugh_Honey]

Does anybody know if GW is receptive to "In the Area" emails? Thanks!

 

[tzekel]

Have any other interviewees heard back yet?

 

[JPA178]

What's the consensus on coming off hold for an II? I've been on hold for close to a month now :/

 

[cupcakesandcadavers]

for those who have been interviewed and accepted...what kinds of things did they ask in the interview? any recommendations on what to focus on?
also, if this is my top choice, how do i tell them that without being straight up LOVE ME

 

[dudrjsmed]

Have any other interviewees heard back yet?

nope and this anticipation is killing me. when was your interview?

 

[tzekel]

Early October. It's still pretty early so I'm just being jumpy, but I know GWU has a really quick turnaround so I can't help it. When did you interview?

GW's kiss of death? The few people I've seen here who actually get pulled off hold were only there for a couple of days

 

[Breezy22]

Last year's thread shows people who were on hold for a really long time who ended up getting interviews. I feel like it doesn't really mean anything.

late september and I haven't heard

I applied and interviewed here. I hope and pray I get accepted. There are so many cool things about this school. Other than academics, clinical stuff, and amazing community service opportunities, I am pretty excited about their indoor basketball gym and workout facility. #lakernation#and1 👍 I def see myself playing ball there lol. I hope the people applying here love playing basketball too lol
