I have been on hold here since the dawn of time
My prediction for my app: on hold until March and then a big fat rejection.

Me too, unfortunately. I'll buy the first round of commiseration beers.
I read this as if that shiba inu in your user profile said "since the dawn of time". Comic relief at times like this 😉
Congrats! On hold before or no?
Same! I'm on week 9ish and feeling soo anxious, just wanna know either way!
anybody complete late august heard anything yet?
Yup! I was complete early September.

How was the info webinar today?

What do you mean by that? Did you have to do something with other interviewees during the interview?

Haha no, sorry, got in to the lingo.
Collaborative as in friendly and working together to make things as easy as possible, instead of being competitive
I'm not sure if this has already been said but GW LOVES communication with admissions.
My status changed from "on hold for re-review" to "under review". The day after, I emailed admissions about wanting more information about the school because I was really interested. They offered me an interview the day after that.
Complete- mid August
Interview- second week of November
Stats- low MCAT, non-trad, OOS, 3.7 in special master's program.
This school is awesome and really cares about student wellness. Absolutely send them updates!

What's the consensus on sending updates/letters of interest/letters of intent post-interview but pre-decision? I think it makes more sense to send one after I hear back but I'm also hoping to ward off the wait list, if possible.

I used the actual message space to provide my update!
how long does it admissions to write back to you when you send admissions an email?
weird. I wrote them a letter of interest last week through the portal and received an email confirmation for it saying it was added to my file the day after..
+1, wrote them a few weeks back and heard back almost immediately

damn 🙁 did you guys send post interview updates? Im thinking of sending one to try to avoid the waitlist all together...
Sorry to hear 🙁
I sent about 5 major updates since my interview in October regarding promotions, mid term grades, my research, ect...
So sorry! Hopefully some luck will come our way this cycle. Did you get any other invites?

This is just my 2 cents. I would think that perhaps holding back on sending a barrage of updates would be a good tactic. One solid, well written update that delineates how your recent accomplishments make you a better fit for an institution is likely favored over multiple small updates. Also, keep your heads up guys. Due to the cost and lack of financial aid available here, I am sure many people will begin looking elsewhere if they have that opportunity once fin aid packages start rolling in! I don't think past SDN threads accurately portray the level of movement there is off of waitlists due to the sample size, and number of people that choose not to post.

What date in October did you interview on?
Same 🙁 Interviewed end of Sept and got the waitlist notice at the end of last week. So crushed, got positive feedback from my interviews and really thought I was a good fit for the school. Really hope the waitlist is kind to us in the spring..
i was complete early september, haven't heard back since. file was under review, then put on hold. is this a bad sign or good sign? anyone else in similar situation.
