Wow II this morning!! Complete 7/31 when my committee letter got submitted. I never went through all of the status changes on my application like some people. It went from the "you are complete we have everything" status on Friday to "under review" this morning. I then got the email for an II about an hour ago!
My numbers aren't anything special, but my overall application is pretty solid.
3.32cum/3.22s and 30.

You give me hope!

 

[Cytokine2014]

I also got an II this morning! Complete 7/24 when my letters arrived, LizzyM 67/68.

 

[JHUDJA]

You give me hope!

Well I'm glad! I'm also a re-applicant who didn't get an II last time around.

Edit: I didn't get an II from this particular school. I got 3 II's last time and 3 waitlists, none of which worked out obviously haha

 

[mackkdad]

I also got an II this morning! Complete 7/24 when my letters arrived, LizzyM 67/68.

Congrats! Were you ever put on hold for re-review?

 

[PolarBearMD]

Has anyone who has had the "under review" status NOT received an II (i.e., received a rejection, not necessarily that you haven't heard yet)? It seems like everyone who has gotten that status has heard good news after it?

 

[coatiboti]

I had that last week, as of this morning I'm now on hold. Complete 7/13 on the status page, though I think they didn't get my last letter until 7/31.

I'm PRETTY sure I had that status last week, anyway. Wishing I wrote it down now because I'm second guessing myself a little.

 

[Cytokine2014]

Congrats! Were you ever put on hold for re-review?

I didn't check over the weekend but this morning it said "under review" where last week it said I was complete.

 

[Wolfpack93]

So if we're on hold for rereview does that pretty much mean game over?

 

[Caffein3]

I certainly hope not! And I don't think so. Plenty of people got IIs after re-review. Just keep your head up and stay positive! until you get the rejection you're still in the running.

 

[jlh19]

Has anyone been outright rejected already or has everyone just been placed in the re-review hold if they didn't offer an II?

 

[organesha]

Anyone else interviewing 8/28? Sounds like there have been several bystander homicides lately..including of an American University grad in broad daylight in front of the Shaw/Howard metro. Should I wear a Kevlar vest under my suit for the ride to GW on interview day?

Yeah I'm interviewing then as well. Those shootings are scaring me.

 

[coatiboti]

Yeah I'm interviewing then as well. Those shootings are scaring me.

Consider the actual distribution, though. There's been an uptick in violent crime district-wide but on their maps, none of those are right around GWU where you'd need to be walking. DC's got some areas with a lot more violence than the area around GWU; where you'd need to be there's a lot more people traffic and a pretty hefty law enforcement presence, too.

 

[diamond_dust]

Also interviewing 8/28. Pay attention to the crowds around you and don't zone out on the metro; aside from that, it might not be the best idea to explore at night. Like @coatiboti said, the GWU area will hopefully be safer than the downtown and Capitol Hill hotspots.

 

[organesha]

Yeah, I'm just a little worried because I am staying in Shaw. I'll be there for the whole weekend so if I go out at night I just might take an Uber to/from my place.

 

[neuro91]

Just got an II! came off of re-review hold

 

[Nigmizole]

How long were you on re review? I have been on there for like a month

 

[Elizabeth Bennet]

O! this gives me hope. I've been on hold for re-review for the longest while

 

[PolarBearMD]

Got an II around noon today. Complete 7/30, LizzyM 72

 

[neuro91]

i think i was on hold for about 3 weeks

 

[Youngryon]

So I'm new to this forum, and I made the mistake of traveling until this week. Do you think it's too late for me to reply to the secondary and submit my 2ndary application today? I'd be thankful for any and all advice. 🙂

 

[Xenith]

No but do it now

 

[Youngryon]

No but do it now

Thank you for your response!

That's more reassuring. Thanks

I'd like to think otherwise...at least it's not a flat out rejection....

 

[Nigmizole]

Ugh, I feel like I have been on re-review forever! I am starting to lose hope.

 

[derrick rose]

Ugh, I feel like I have been on re-review forever! I am starting to lose hope.

I feel your pain. I have been on re-review for almost a month now I am sure.

[FutureMed1993]

Applying with a 3.6 ugpa, and 515 mcat (93rd percentile). Chances? No clue... I hate not knowing how things will go with the new mcat! Anyone with II's already apply with new mcat scores?
