Same here. But the technical issues I was having before (graduation year for family member alumni) have not cleared up.

Same here. But the technical issues I was having before (graduation year for family member alumni) have not cleared up.
So I called the admissions office - there was a voice mail saying that they are experiencing technical difficulties with their secondary applications. They haven't resolved it yet.
I think it is safe to say that we should hold off on submitting the secondary until they resolve this. I too have received two emails with two different PINs, and that really complicates matters.
I cant submit because it says my first and last name are required but there's no field to enter them in. anyone else have this issue?
if they're going to require applicants to have a mcat of 10 and above in each section they should require themselves to have a less glitchy application.

same here
I can't submit my first and last name.. Anyone still have trouble?
Are you using Chrome?! I had the same page outline/"experience" then I thought maybe the glitch is Chrome related... switched to FireFox and Safari... then I had a totally different page!
We still can't put in Last/First Name, so can't submit using old/new PIN... I'm sure they are working feverishly to fix stuff anyways
When you finish the first section and click Save & Continue, it'll show up then
yeah still not solved, but my page doesn't look like the screen shot you posted anymore (only did the first time I logged in)... here is a screen shot
EDIT: never mind 😕 I thought I saw the old app view... I am probably going crazy

The screenshot is identical to what I see on my page.
I think the second one; happened with me too.
Received secondary today. Also got 2 PINs. Sounds like everyone's having issues. I'll hold off on this one. Still got 2 others to do.
Third email with a new PIN!? 
Did you try the new PIN? Did it work?Third email with a new PIN!?

Omg no. Still missing the field for your first and last names.
Glad this is happening to other people. I just got my 3rd pin email...
So relieved others are having the same issues! I got three PINs today as well!
i only have 2 thankfully but it wouldnt surprise me if i got another. georgetown needs to get it together.
Received third PIN...is this the year of glitchy secondaries or something? I'm looking at you, Georgetown (and SLU and VCU).
I've been able to log in successfully using my first out two emails. I like how there's a short answer AND an essay you have to upload. Interesting...
You never know if you don't try, you're not going to make 100% of the shots that you don't take. That said, this shot will cost you $36+$130. So hope you have a pile of cash lying around, or a credit card that you're able to load up.
I too have an abundance of PINs. This is a welcome excuse to hold off on this one for the time being.
we need a PIN?
EDIT: jk completely forgot there was a PIN...smh me

Quote from secondary e-mail:
"Those invited for interview generally present a mean science Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.6 and mean Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores of 10 for each subtest. Those considered competitive after interview have roughly the same academic credentials, stronger recommendations, and a more positive interview evaluation than those rejected after interview."
My opinion is that they don't enforce a strict >10 policy, but it might just be me hoping (I'm in the same boat as you).
According to MSAR the 10th percentile for accepted applicants is 8 for verbal, 10 for bio, 9 for physical so no strict >10 policy.
According to MSAR the 10th percentile for accepted applicants is 3.4 overall GPA and 3.3 science GPA. With those stats and as many applications as Georgetown gets, I would only apply if you're a really strong applicant in other ways than GPA and/or you can write a convincing secondary that you are just what Georgetown needs
Thank you, this is what I was looking for. Is there any common wisdom on applying to a school when one of your numbers is 10th percentile and everything else is at or above average?
I was sent three emails. I just assumed they really wanted me to apply.
My too, I thought I was special. I was like calm down, I'll apply soon don't get too excited Georgetown.
anyone got "no space for last/first name" issue resolved? Thanks!
nope georgewtown's application is still broken.
Is anyone doing the optional essay?
what optional essay? the additional info?
Yes.
The first and last name wasn't fixed for me? Is anyone else still having problems?
I'm using the 3rd pin number they gave me.

yes georgewtown's site is still broken. hopefully they'll fix it today.
I'm using the 1st pin that was sent to me and the site appears to be fixed.
thank you. just submitted georgewtown. glad that's over

I used the third pin because it was most recent, but I really don't think it should matter as everything is probably linked to your AMCAS ID and name.
I'm using it to explain academic discrepancies. Unsolicited advice: don't take upper division science courses at a foreign institution!
Is anyone applying to the M.D./M.P.H. program? If so, how do you apply? The website seems to imply that you can do both concurrently but doesn't offer any details about how to do so.
So should I order my foreign transcript now? Do I just have it sent to the admissions office?
Unless you've taken your pre-reqs there, I don't think you have to. I emailed them to insure what it said on their AMCAS guide and this is what they told me. Also if those credits transferred onto your 4-years university here in America or Canada as pass/fail or something, you don't have to.
