Haha I'm just curious because I think people with similar stats can get interviews around the same time
Thanks! LizzyM 70.5, paid hospital employment, undergrad lab experience also
was placed on hold today comp mid sep.
I'm not sure if this is still relevant to you, but I sent in an update a couple weeks back and I received a II invite yesterday (after being placed on the pre-II hold since August).
Woke up to an II this morning! Complete mid August. This is more satisfying than the Chokeslam I put on Batista during Friday night smackdown
Did you notice whether your status went from hold to under review before that? Congrats on the interview!
I feel the anxiety. When was your interview? Interviewed 9/23 and still waiting.
What is the webinar issue about?
I got an email about the webinar in November! what is this about?

The webinar was sold out in less than minutes. A complete bummer! This is one of my top choice schools and any additional access would have been amazing.
let me know about your questions and I can ask them for you! 😉
Placed on alternate list 10/27. Also thought my interviews went very well so not exactly thrilled, but kind of expected it since they interview so many (presumably great) applicants.
Congrats to those accepted and best of luck to everyone!

When did you interview? 🙂
Late September, so heard back right around the four-week mark 🙂
+1
Has there been any example where you get reviewed and then placed on hold for re-review at a later time and then get rejected?
Yes, I believe most of the rejections that took place earlier this month were from people who were put on hold and then got rejected.
Thanks so much! I didn't notice a change in status because I stopped checking the portal because the hold status made me sad. However, people I know recently had a status change from on hold to under review.
I wanted to check with a GW admission admin about a myth, she just informed me that "Being placed on hold for re-review simply means the committee has not made a final decision on an application. Applications are reviewed many times before a final decision is made and almost all applicants are placed on hold for some period of time."
Although I knew those of us still waiting, we will be attending a webinar tomorrow! CONGRATS to those who are ACCEPTED 😉
Too bad the webinar filled up quickly. Most of us were left out in the cold🙁.
Guys, please list your questions here, I will make sure to ask all of them and then post the answers here!!!
Can you ask what kind of updates are useful for those on hold? Short ones with just brief descriptions or reiterations of why we want to go there?
For sure,! added to the list!
Just saw my status on the portal updated to pre-interview hold. 🙁

So how many interviews did you have and what kind of questions did they ask? Were there any ethical questions? What was your impression of the school? Thanks!
Can you tell me some about your interview , what kind of questions and stuff . Thanks!
The interview was very conversational. 2 interviews, 1 with a faculty and 1 with a current medical student- each about 25 minutes. They basically asked standard questions: Why medicine, why GW, what have you done to prepare for medical school, what characteristics have you gained to prepare that make you qualified to be a doctor etc. Interviews are closed file so they don't have access to your application.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you get accepted!
Today, I noticed the status changed to "has placed your application on hold for re-review at a later date".
Secondary submitted on Oct 7.
Ok Thank you for the information! Have you heard back yet ? Good Luck!
Wow, you must have stellar stats? may I ask about your stats?

The webinar was filled up before i had finished reading the email at around 8:30 in the morning haha
Unfortunately I have not heard back yet. Interview was 9/23, so almost at the 6 week mark. I'm expecting to hear back anytime now, no stress or anything!
They said, they cannot say for sure! but it would take few weeks at least!

She said, they would welcome any updates such as new activities, new updates from your work, if you changed your position, or anything you think is helpful for the committee to be aware of!
Worth it to send in II updates for new gap year research position?
Yup!
