God, I hope so! I must check the portal 5 times a day.
Complete 8/29 and just glad I'm still in the running!

Don't mean to sound like a Parrot but I checked last year's thread and a lot of early (< 15) September completions heard back from today through the first week of November. Obviously not worth betting any money on them repeating a pattern, but it's something to keep in mind... Personally I'll just wait for an e-mail to pop up in my folder.
How do people recommend a Letter of interest format? Not sure how long it should be or what it should cover
Might've been worth the bet; rejected this morning (complete 9/23, LizzyM ~71) but not too torn up about it. Good luck to those still in the running! No news is good news.
Sorry to hear - Good luck with your other apps!
Waitlisted just now, as was expected. Interviewed early September. Guess I'll get to submitting my LOI now! Good luck to everyone else receiving news this week.
Got dat waitlist. No big surprises here, but I thought mt interview went well and I enjoyed my visit a lot more than I was expecting. But alas, we must part ways (I'm declining my spot on the waitlist)! Best of luck to everyone else! Oh, interviewed 9/14 btw.
Was the rejection via email?
Waitlisted this morning via email and then portal. Interviewed 9/8. Accepted to UC Irvine just last night so will be declining waitlist. I really liked Georgetown, but can't turn down in-state tuition close to home. Hope the spot goes to another excited forum member!

Indeed, hit my inbox early this AM. Happy Monday! Haha.
Just got super rejected pre interview by these guys. Confidence is for chumps anyway, right?
I'm sorry. When were you complete? (And is super rejected different from a normal rejection?)
Current student here! It's easy to find, just at the crossing of 20th Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW. Do need to cross the street to get there. It's near a metro bus stop. Normally you should see students waiting there. Good luck!
I was complete in mid-August. And their rejection was just super cold, you know? Like I paid you a hundred bucks is it too much to ask for you to whisper sweet nothings into my ear while you crush my dreams, Georgetown?
When I came for interview, I heard that Georgetown has a really high percentage of students who would accept the offer. Meaning that those they admit really like the school.
I was asked "what would prevent you from coming to Georgetown if accepted" during the interview.
We just discussed these questions in our ethics class. I would say I never feel any restriction, but I probably don't have enough experience to say so.
Awaiting decision for my late September interview date... Not feeling good about it,
Especially since I wasn't even asked why medicine/why Georgetown. Yikes.

Quick question, I am kinda new to sdn but I applied to Georgetown. Complete 8/7 and have not received an email for rejection or II, just under review according to the portal. Which is good bc I am still in the running but I wanted some thoughts from others bc I have a unique app. 508 Mcat 3.8 sc and regular gpa, underrepresented low socioeconomic status, with strong EC, LOR, PS, student athlete, publication, well written secondary ..Etc but I got a 123 on my cars section... (I suck)
Is there anyway they could have thrown an app like mine to the bottom of the pile, not rejecting it but holding out on offering me a II bc my red flag (cars 123) Or??? And I ask this bc I applied to range of schools and this seems to be the case for most, others that were complete later than me already were rejected or offered a II.

What is cars?
Verbal score. Critical Analysis reasoning something. It's one of the main sectioma

Meh, my CARS was a 124 and I had one of the first interviews here. I've secured pretty substantial scholarships this cycle so I really doubt that CARS is all that important.
Is that part of the new mcat? (I took old mcat)
Yes it is essentially equivalent to the old verbal section!
Interviewed here yesterday! Love the program even more after Ms. Sullivan's speech. She definitely made me think a lot, I'm very glad she spoke to us. I interviewed with an MS4 who was really nice! I got asked why Georgetown and to talk about my journey into medicine, but other than that we mostly just talked about my time in choir, honestly, and I asked questions. Good luck to everyone interviewing soon!

I interviewed early September, still waiting. Really excited to hear back because I loved Gtown, but I stopped looking and am just waiting for an email. It should be soon enough
interviewed week of 9-21; still waiting!
As a current M1, I am very happy to see so many of you interested in Georgetown. It's a great school and I enjoy my everyday here! If you have questions, you are more than welcome to ask me!
For those who are waiting post interview, don't be too worried, the process gets slow during peak season. I remember my admission took more than the time they told me.
----------in a small break for anatomy study

My first II received today! Was starting to lose faith after checking my email like 4x a day since submitting haha. Completed 8/17.
Thanks for answering questions!
1) How do you feel the attitude is within your class and at Georgetown overall? Collaborative or competitive?
2) Best thing about Georgetown? And then the worst thing?
1) Definitely collaborative. People always post study materials and everything that helps. The goal is to let everyone pass. We are divided into societies and academic families, and get really close with family members. But that does not mean you will lose contact with others outside your family. We have many social events and have a lot of fun together! Especially after exams. It is said that Georgetown always prefer to admit nice and fun students.
2) Too many good things even though I am only here for three months. Can't tell which one is the best. But overall this is a school that makes me happy.
Worst thing is probably the old buildings and facilities. I seriously considered going to another school for their nice building, classrooms and super fancy anatomy lab. But I am so glad I still came here.
Rejected pre-interview complete 8/24.wohoooooo! 🙂
are interviews closed, open, or open w/o stats? thanks for the help!
I believe open, no GPA or MCAT. Unsure whether or not they can see our course listings with grades. Anyone know?
