So after an interview at GW, is it only Accept or Alternate pool? Does anyone get a straight Rejection post-Interview?

[Hello Again]

Interviewed early december...haven't heard back yet. Entering week 10!

 

[stayinpositive1234]

Is it realistic to get off the alternate list here? Or is it a slim chance?

 

[watermelon master]

Any II still going out?

 

[Fancy_Feast]

Alternative list interviewed Mid December

You can be on a waitlist for as long as you like. You can can't hold two acceptances past April 30th

Thanks for your answer... that's good to know as GW is my preferred program.

Would you mind saying which week of December you interviewed? Going a little crazy waiting here haha

The Very middle of December 😉

 

[GhostPanda]

Odds of getting off the list are slimmer than the odds of getting accepted straight after the interview.

I had my interview yesterday, and she said it would be about 10 weeks until we hear a decision.. which would be like, days before May 1st..

Otherwise, I REALLY like this school. Tons of great opportunities, nice people, and can you really beat the location?

 

[MDPedigree]

Complete August, been on hold since I think October? Or possible even September. Any chance at an II remaining at this point?

 

[nucleispins]

Complete since October with utter silence. No, I have not been put on hold. The portal just says the admissions committee will be periodically reviewing my application along with those still under consideration. I sent in an update to speed things along. Hopefully, I will soon be rejected, or get an II in the next few weeks. It's all the unknown that's frustrating.... 😕

 

[medislife2016]

Interviewed week of 12/4/16 and placed on alternate list. good luck to everyone else

Do you mind sharing your MCAT and GPA;
Not sure if accepting II since it seems they are placing in alternate list this late in the cycle....

I have not heard anything yet. I suspect we will hear something this Wednesday 3/1/17. (They meet on Tuesdays)

 

[happily123]

Do anyone know if we have to fill out all the financial aid forms if we are on the waitlist?

 

[ek999]

Accepted people, what time did you get an email? thinking I might hear today idk

[ek999]

when did you interview?

the first Jan interview they had after their break, abt 8 weeks ago

 

[Waillin]

They have not given the decisions for mid December yet so I would not hold my breath for January decisions this week. Hopefully I am wrong though and we all find out today! This is my 11th week waiting.

[heyhitherewhatsup]

Does anybody know how many people are on the alternate list and how many people usually get off the alternate list?

 

[GhostPanda]

The list is everyone who interviewed but didn't get an initial offer... But it seems like it moved by double digits the last few years... My MSAR is still active, I can try to figure out numbers tomorrow...
