The Dean of the medical school said it starts for the class of 2020 at 2nd look day. I think I'll believe him. There will be ranking during 3rd year, according to the q&a.
Of course. It was just funny since I specifically asked and was told otherwise. I also remember Sullivan being unimpressed with P/F in her speech.
FWIW, I am pretty much sure I'll be withdrawing from the WL. My interview experience wasn't pleasant but the curriculum and location was awesome. Good luck to everyone.
Was there a panel specifically to address curriculum/grading changes, or was that just something that came up?
This topic was addressed in the welcome session with the dean explaining how a student movement assembled evidence and made their case across the school's governing powers, and it passed with flying colors after all the presentations. Sullivan was not in the lecture hall at the time...
What were your thoughts on 2nd look day (if you don't mind me asking)? I didn't want to miss classes or pay for another flight across the country so I didn't make it. Were you as enamored with the school as you were on interview day? Any red flags or changed feelings?
I called and was told that some will start going out this week.
I haven't heard anything yet; I believe the beginning of May :-/ AlMOST THERE 🙂
My financial aid package is available via MyAccess so I imagine the same is true for everyone else waiting. Let the decision making begin!
If you don't mind me asking, is Gtown's package comparable to other schools? Thanks!

I turned in my FA application a week before the deadline, so I haven't received any FA info yet. Did they email you with the "MyAccess" info? Or could you explain how GU provides the FA info? Thanks 🙂
Can someone with a current MSAR account post a picture of the waitlist stats for Georgetown? I had an account last year, but it recently expired.
they didn't post waitlist stats in the current MSAR...
You can see the COA the financial aid office will fund for each student here: https://georgetown.app.box.com/s/hbdpvin1ewimsvze14s5
After FAFSA, if you want to be eligible for institutional funding, you complete an additional application shown here by the deadline: https://som.georgetown.edu/prospectivestudents/financialaid/apply. I think those accepted later than the original deadline have 2 weeks to get this additional paperwork completed.
I believe your award package is then a combination of federal and institution funding up to the COA. I've never seen any information about need/merit grants or scholarships. The school has a huge endowment, so I'm sure free $$s are handed out, not just loans. Another school's financial aid package was handled in a similar way, but didn't require the extra form. There is information in the portal about setting up your access to the school's student login to be able to see your award information once it is posted there.
Pretty sure 1/3 of the class comes from the waitlist according to conversations at my interview day.
good to know
Instructions for MyAccess are in your pre-matriculation info. You have to set up your email first and then you can access it.
It was for me. Pretty lame unfortunately so most likely I will be withdrawing. Across four years, it would add $104,000 of extra debt and that doesn't include the increase in cost of living for moving my family to DC. Luckily, I would have been happy with either choice in the end. Maybe yours will be better!
Just withdrew. So excited for where I am going but so sad to be withdrawing from Georgetown; I loved it there! Good luck everyone!
adcom is currently going through the SMPs on the waitlist too so they're pretty busy right now
Do SMPSs come first on the waitlist?

not sure if they have a certain number of spots for just SMPs and they work with that when they look at the SMP waitlist or if they're in together with the regular pool...I wouldn't think that they have that much priority though, wouldn't be fair for the regular pool
many, as in 5, 10 or 100?
Does anyone know if we are going to get even a generalized ranking? Like will they split the waitlist into 3rds or anything of the sort?
Yes, I called AAMC today and they confirmed that.
16
Congrats!!! Do you mind sharing when you sent letters and/or anything else helpful for us wait listers? 🙂
I sent 3 letters, pretty much one per month. I also indicated I would attend if accepted
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
I got the same call and sent three letters as well !! Surreal
Also Accepted today! Interviewed in Dec, WL in Jan, sent 1 letter in March.
Could someone link the admitted students Facebook page?

I know right? But it's "only" May 3rd. Don't give up hope yet!
Only May, meaning it's not yet June.

People usually live in houses of about 4-5 people a house around campus in neighborhoods like Foxhall or near Reservoir Road (near the hospital). Some also live in Rosslyn, VA which is right across the Potomac in apartment complexes so there's a lot of options!
don't give up hope! Lots of people still get in off the waitlist...even in July!
I hope you're right! It would just be REALLY NICE, if I didn't have to submit another application in June OR redo my MCAT.
But, are you talking Georgetown's WL specifically or other schools?
