Did the email say when they start pulling people off the wait list?

It just said that it usually happens in "spring." Which I'm going to guess is April or maybe March.

Did you send in any kind of application update or letter of interest after you were put on hold? Thanks!

 

[PolarBearMD]

GWU is definitely behind where they were last year 🙁 By this time last year they were accepting people who interviewed mid-October.
Hoping for some good news today!

I had this two weeks ago and got an Ii later that day. Good luck!!!

 

[ozzy6]

Congrats! Were you ever put on re-review?

not sure... I didn't really notice. I just remember having that huge block of text about how I was on hold or something like that for the longest period of time, I was sure I wasn't getting an interview here any time soon

Yeah that was the on hold re-review message. Thanks! Good luck with your interview!

II this morning after being complete since the first week of July! Very, very excited to learn more about their program. For what it's worth I sent an update letter about a week ago.

 

[LunaBoona]

Does anyone who has been accepted know if there is a FB page for the class of 2020?

 

[Klam412]

II today! Very excited. Best of luck to every one of you guys! I know it's tough but things will eventually work if you really want it badly enough!

 

[Spector1]

bah, now that I've been rejected from the md program, the gw mph people have been spamming my phone in the hopes that I might attend their mph program.

 

[jevindoes]

Placed on the alternate list today...interviewed 10/20. Pretty bummed...I guess it wasn't meant to be 🙁

 

[PolarBearMD]

Sorry to hear that @jevindoes ! I don't understand how GWU is doing this...? I interviewed at the beginning of October and haven't heard anything yet.

 

[SoccerLizard]

Sorry to hear that @jevindoes ! I don't understand how GWU is doing this...? I interviewed at the beginning of October and haven't heard anything yet.

I also interviewed at the beginning of October and haven't heard anything and my status hasn't changed on the site! I am confused...

 

[jevindoes]

Does GW even do rejections? Or is everyone just placed on this alternate list as a nicer way of saying you didn't get in?

 

[Amyyy]

II today! Very excited. Best of luck to every one of you guys! I know it's tough but things will eventually work if you really want it badly enough!

Congrats!!! It gives me hope 🙂 Do you mind sharing your Stats and if you were on holds? Did you send an update letter? When are the open interview spots? Sry for asking too many questions I'm just tired of being on hold !

 

[PolarBearMD]

Hit 9 weeks post-interview today... Please GW end this torture!

 

[Cytokine2014]

Hit 9 weeks post-interview today... Please GW end this torture!

Yes I interviewed early Oct and still haven't heard anything [emoji53] I'm here with you!

 

[bcemslayer]

I am conflicted if I should send a post-interview update. I interviewed early November, so I should be hearing back mid January I think.
Some threads I've read say that it isn't good to seem to eager, but some encourage letters...
This semester I should finish with a 4.0, I'm getting ready to start writing a paper on my research, I've organized and coordinated a mental health week campaign on campus, I have been on a panel for promoting sex education in young adults, I have organized a volunteer trip to the homeless drop-in centre in my city with my residents (I am an RA), I have helped coordinate and advertise for a campus community kitchen, and I have been volunteering continuously on a sexual assault crisis line.

I was offered an interview without a hold and I feel confident with how it went. Should I still send an update?

[cyang]

sent four updates within the last four months still nothing

II today! Complete end of July, but was put on hold early August. status changed to "Your file is under review." last Friday. Really didn't expect this!! Also, I did send an update letter two weeks ago, so this may have helped.
