It definitely seems like this is a common problem. AMCAS said they would start background checks for accepted applicants sometime after Jan 1, so I guess we should be on the lookout
Does anyone know how to reschedule an interview? It says you are allowed to reschedule once, but when I go back to the RSVP link, there is no option to reschedule. Also, it says interviews cannot be scheduled via phone or email. I was wondering if there was something obvious I'm missing before I give the admissions office a call on Monday... Thanks!
Did anyone on the waitlist get a background check request from AAMC?
I wonder if I should get my hopes up or still stay miserable.

I'm on the wait list and received a CBC email today. But I've also been accepted at other schools that require a CBC
Waitlisted about 1 week ago, never got an email about a CBC. Is the CBC from Georgetown or AMCAS?
AAMC sends the email.

Called Certiphi today and they said I needed a pin from Georgetown to start the background check. Does anyone know where I get this? It seems like other people had an email sent without needing to do anything.
First week of November.
Not sure what to think about the whole CBC thing. I am on 2 wait lists and haven't heard anything from AAMC since being told my AMCAS primary was verified.
This waiting game is brutal...
Has anyone received a decision lately? Interviewed first week of November...
I am wondering the same thing I also interviewed early november. I know last year the first decision after winter break was released tomorrow, so hopefully good news is on its way!
Hello! I interviewed November 6 and after calling Admissions office yesterday...they told me I should hear by the end of this week or early next! so hopefully, we all hear soon 🙂
I interviewed Nov. 6 and I'm still waiting too! you're not alone
October interviewer here, still haven't heard back.
Starting to think they lost my file lol.

Yea same here. I really thought I would hear back today, but then again I've been thinking like that for the past 2 weeks so yea... 🙁
I interviewed the last week of October and received an acceptance call on Friday before Christmas sometime around 5 pm. I didn't receive an email until the following Monday morning. Good luck!!!
I interviewed at GU in October but I was still deciding between schools and I recently sent in my letter of interest. In order to get our files reviewed, did we have to send the LOI right away? If not, does anyone know how they are reviewing the files?

The way admissions explained it to us the letter of interest is supposed to be sent in for waitlisted applicants to activate your file to be reviewed, not before receiving an interview decision! I wouldn't worry about sending in anything but thank you cards until you hear their initial decision
Sorry forgot to mention, I was waitlisted back in December. I sent my LOI recently but I am nervous if I sent it late and if that will have a negative chances on being accepted from the waitlist.
I interviewed the first week of November and called admissions today. They said I should hear either later today or by next Tuesday!
Me too🙁
Wait listed as well...
Interviewed November 6th and waitlisted this morning as well

Rejected pre-interview
good luck to you!
I interviewed in September and my call came mid morning at the end of October. I think the email came a few days later. So it sounds like there isn't a specific format they're following. Best of luck to everyone receiving decisions in the next few weeks!!
Awesome, congrats! What was the time lapse between your WL placement and acceptance?

I interviewed mid September, placed on WL first week of December. 🙂
Nice! How were you notified?
I received an email that said a decision has been made (identical to the email notifying me that I had been placed on the waitlist). No phone call or anything, just the email!
