When I survived the mass rejection list back in December, I felt good about myself. Now I wish I was rejected back then.
Rejected today post secondary. Been on hold since August. 6 months of "waiting". pros and cons to this decision, but it does sting a little that I was JUST about to send in an update which I heard GW is pretty receptive to.
Good luck everyone, if this is your number one choice I hope it works out

Rejected this morning pre-II as well after sending an update in December. Been on hold since August here. Good luck guys!
Woke up this morning with a rejection in my inbox.
Good luck to everyone else.
Good luck to everyone else.
Ugh! I'm sorry. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the alternate list sees some movement!
Anyone still hearing silence pre II?
Yuuuup, complete since 7/2, just sent in an update a few days ago.
Yep. I keep avoiding the axe but not getting an II.
I'm a current MS1 at GW. Congrats to those who were accepted! Good luck to those who are still waiting (I know it is tough, I've been there). Stay positive.

Do you happen to know roughly what % of the class is accepted off the waitlist by chance?
Okay I thought you were going to say they lost the identities of a bunch of their applicants and I was like I KNEW IT.
But seriously, that's horrible!

For those who interviewed November 18th-ish, still nothing?
I interviewed the 24th and nothing yet
I had been on hold since September. My application file now says, "under review." Also, they don't share interview date options, they just assign you one. So I'm not sure what other dates are left, but if it helps, I got my request last week and my interview is for the 18th of Feb.
Nothing from the 20th yet.
Also still clinging to my life raft after this large wave of rejections. Complete mid August, sent in an update at the beginning of January. I feel excited to still be under consideration (especially because I'd love to study medicine in DC.) Hopefully this big purge was the storm before the calm for some of us on SDN (i.e. an II).
It's been over 3 months I interviewed and havent heard back.. 🙁 I already got into another medical school but GW is still my top choice!
Hi I just went through this thread as I am trying to decide if I should apply hear in the future. Didn't really see many people posting their LizzyMs. So am trying to get an idea for the LizzyM scores of accepted applicants if they don't mind sharing. Thanks
Purchase MSAR from AAMC. It will give you the 10-90th percentile GPAs and MCAT scores of accepted students for pretty much every med school in the country. I think the average LizzyM for accepted students at GW is 67-70
Thanks! I have the MSAR and know the statistics, but wanted to know the numbers for students that are actually accepted to see the trend.
Accepted! First one, so crazy. I interviewed 11/12.
Thoughts on what to do if I've been accepted but haven't been invited to the class page yet? I was thinking of calling GW to ask and also thinking that would be amazingly lame of me, lol.
Congrats!! Did you get the email this morning?
I did! 13 weeks post-interview...
That is crazy!

Hi all,
I just withdrew from the spot I was holding today! Good luck to all who are still waiting - I hope it goes to someone very deserving.

Accepted, interviewedd first week of November.

Congrats! Just out of curiosity, do they give you a timeline for when you need to confirm your acceptance by?
Yep, three weeks to confirm the acceptance. But there's no deposit.

Very true - I'm bummed, but also not surprised given all those numbers.
Ah well. Here's to more waiting
@drcon , I sent two updates. I'll probably be sending a LOI more toward the spring!
On their website, it says they interview about 1000 applicants.
Do recently interviewed applicants hear back during the same 13-week time frame ( sometime in May)?

They don't interview 3 times per week. They interview 1-2 times per week and not all weeks. They interview about 550-600 people.
