Would this be a bad section to talk about how my medical problems negatively affected my academic performance my senior year? I don't like making excuses for myself, but I feel like they should know.
I think I talked about my grades in that section too actually.

If you feel like that wasn't covered by your committee letter (if you have one), I'd say go for it, but don't make it a pity party. Be smart!
Ruthless. Sorry bout that!
Wow. Obviously their loss!
Well that's just pretty damn messed up. Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you'll have plenty of other good opportunities at other schools with your numbers. I would contact georgetown and ask for feedback to make sure there's no red flags though.
Sorry to hear that! But with 2000+ hours of medical community service and 73 LizzyM, I'm sure other schools will be fighting over you. Have fun at med school next year 🙂
whaaaaaaat
Congrats! Hoping Gtown shows another 7/16er some love

Meeeeeee hahaha 124!
hahaha Well that certainly gives me hope 🙂 Thank you !!! Hope to hear you scream " I got accepted" soon haha
Congrats!!! It's good to see they are still giving out IIs for early completers.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks, that's what I was thinking, too. I got invited to interview at Hofstra though so I'm guessing it can't be too bad?
Thanks for the support 🙂
Ladies and gentlemen who have interviewed already and stayed with student hosts- when did you get contacted with hosting information? I filled out the student hosting form in July, I get into Washington a week from today, and still no word.
Has anyone sent an "in area" letter to Georgetown and actually gotten a response? I have an interview at GW and was wondering if that would even be worthwhile...
I'm in the same boat as you. First reject of the cycle. 513 MCAT (11,10,14,10), 3.97 Masters GPA (3.99 BCPM, 3.95 AO), lower uGPA, reapplicant, extensive research exp, 4 publications (1 2nd author), solid volunteering and shadowing.
From their website: "GPA - With emphasis on the undergraduate BCPM (Science) GPA" I think I got hammered because of my uGPA, honestly.

Does anyone happen to know rough estimates for post-interview accepted out of the 1115? Incoming class last year was 196 people.
I saw 350ish somewhere
350 sounds incredibly low. Most schools have to accept 2.5-3 applicants for every seat they'd like to fill. Georgetown is especially expensive, so my guess is that they're on the higher end of that....
That said, I'm assuming that they ultimately accept between 525-600 of the applicants they interview. I say ultimately because it sounds like only 25% of applicants are accepted post-interview, and the rest are waitlisted (some rejected) until a decision is reached later in the cycle. Update letters/letters of interest seem to expected post-interview here.

On my interview, one of the people on the adcom said that we're evaluated in batches of 80. In the 80, 20 will be accepted, 40 will be waitlisted, and 20 will be rejected.

This says 349, but honestly admissions is the opposite of transparent so who really knows!
