Capitol Hill isn't close. Try Rosslyn and Arlington if you can't find anything cheap in DC. Right across the bridge for Rosslyn, can metro/shuttle/uber.

Yah i was super late on all my applications...I hope that doesn't handicap me for other schools I have applied to

Just for everyone wondering...looks like last year GT started sending out rejections pretty consistently/liberally at the end of July, so at least last year they don't leave you "hanging" too much. Could be different this year since we haven't seen rejections yet that I'm aware of, so the moral is no one knows.
You're definitely not out of the running yet. I feel your pain because there are a bunch of schools where I was complete early, and people have gotten invites and I have heard nothing yet. We just have to remember that it's still pretty early and some people are still waiting on their first IIs. It's hard to remain clear-headed when you see all the superstars getting IIs to multiple top 20s and what not, but it's good to keep some perspective knowing that SDN attracts a disproportionate amount of high achievers. I'm sure invites are coming your way soon if you haven't gotten any already. 🙂
This^^^
Remember, LizzyM says not to worry unless you don't have any IIs by Thanksgiving. This process takes a long time, and a school like Gtown probably already has upwards of 1k apps to look through
Still "under review" here...been complete since 7/27.
Same but since 7/7
same since the 28th
Hey guys, just started my secondary for georgetown..I am trying to learn more about their medical school and how to answer the essays. Are they looking for more on experiences within diverse communities or would they like to see more on the research experience side? For the first question about contribution to the community/bringing educational benefits to the student body is it better to focus on my experience with diverse communities and various public service experiences both locally and internationally OR focus more on my providing educational benefits because of my extensive research experience... or figure out how to mesh it all together in 1000 characters..
I think you should focus on whatever aspect that fits into your vision as a physician, whether it will be practicing medicine and conducting research/clinical research on the side, or serving underserved communities. Georgetown loves either one, but it's how you present your experiences and your interests that will show how passionate you are about medicine and what you see yourself doing in the next 10-15 years outside of just treating patients/doing a specialty...everyone at Georgetown that I've spoken to has unique visions and interests but it's their passion and commitment to be active members of society that makes them Georgetown Students.
I second this. Your personal goals and vision go A LONG WAY for this school!

What, no military service? Reject
you were rejected from here?
Do you fit their mission?
Nope (not yet), I'm just being snarky
I think so. I am working in research and I want to be a psychiatrist. They have GORGEOUS psychiatric research, and a lot of other mental health work that I am interested in doing (and have been doing on volunteer basis)
Quintuple threat
They do? Don't mean to derail the thread, but I'm really interested in psych and as I looked through their site I couldn't find anything. Mind sharing?
Anyone know how often/particular days of the week GT releases IIs? because I'm tired of checking multiple times a day 😛
I got an interview. Submitted 7/28. Best of luck everyone 🙂
Congrats! What were your stats?
Thank you! 64 Lizzy. Non-trad. Had a low undergrad gpa unrelated to pre-med, but high post-bacc pre-med gpa.
I envy you people who were complete after me and are receiving good news. I just don't understand.
Awesome! Same boat with the undergrad GPA and then really improved with a Masters degree so I'm hoping to hear soon!
Was it an email or an update through the portal?

i feel your pain. it is so frustrating and seems unfair
Email.
I really do think y'all will hear good news soon. However, the cycle is not about 'who gets there first' but more so about whether you strike them as a good fit on that initial viewing. It's very likely that many schools like your application but are choosing to interview other candidates sooner due to that fit. If you continue viewing everything as completely linear, this process will only get worse.
