Yes. You get an email and then your portal has a new interview tab.
Edit: I'm almost positive every school will send you an email/call you along with changing your portal
Not literally, no. I received it around 1 pm Eastern
oh are you a reapplicant? how was the interview at Georgetown last year?

Wish there was a Bloodbath to go along with these IIs so I could know if no news is actually good news
II !!!! Complete 7/10 - First one!!
I really enjoyed it. It was really relaxed and I personally thought the students seemed to enjoy their lives. I personally loved the school after my interview (hence my reapplication), but I know others didn't. It's all about the fit I suppose
Careful what you wish for lol I know last year they didn't waste a lot of time with handing out rejections. I agree that it's nice to know early though. Trust me, waiting around until March is brutal and it's much worse getting the rejection email from like 10 schools on the same day.
so what do you think was the downfall of your app cycle? LizzyM of 68 is decent
edit: PM'd you this instead
I have the same question
Congrats!! Are you in-state?
Probably not, since they used PST
Georgetown is private, so they don't pay much attention to residency. Also, it's in DC so basically nobody is considered in state. Although, I'm sure it's easy to convey why you want to attend the school if you're from DC, Arlington, etc.
I'm from PA, but I am living/working in CA until med school!
First of all congratulations to those got IIs!! For those that did, were any of you MD/PhD? I'm not sure if it's done at the same time as just the MDs

Congrats!
based off last years thread it was a few days after the first when they started to reboot interviews
Got an II Monday as well. 3.5/514 for anyone trying to compare their numbers.

Secondary submitted....I feel like I am far behind the power curve here.
PM'd you but I doubt it might not have gone though.
No worries, you're not at all behind the curve. If you're complete today then you're still way ahead of the curve since it's still July.
Also, the PM went through. I replied, so hopefully you received it.
I'm curious as to whether Georgetown does yield-protection.
I'm 3.7 + 520 and due to huge applicant pool, would Gtown have greater yield protection?

WHat is yield protection?
based off past application cycles schools begin to recognize what types of students actually attend their school; a student with a 520 is pretty likely to attend a school like duke or harvard, and so giving this person an acceptance may be a waste of Georgetown's time.
dumb question but can schools see what other schools we have applied to? or at least how many we've applied to?
Yes, they can see all of that information in our primary app, as well as if we've previously applied to each one.
Edit: I was misinformed apparently, disregard this post lol

Pretty sure that's not correct...
They cannot see what schools we have applied to nor how many. They only get to see what other acceptances we have (should you have others) after some date in May.
I was misinformed then, sorry!
I thought it might be considering when you download your primary app to your computer the schools are on there. I just wasn't 100% on if that section is actually included on the schools' copies.
EDIT: nevermind haha
Got it. Thanks 🙂
II received today!!! Submitted 7/17. All the August interviews are gone!
nice! was it in the morning? what r ur stats
lol and it's been over a year and this is your first post 😛
.
Could be a stupid question, for those who have received II's, does your status on the portal change from Under Review to Complete?
Nope, mine is still under review.
Anybody know if Dulles has access to the metro? Or is that just DCA?
how lethal is it if you have well below their service recommendations? I'm starting to think that's why I didn't get an interview yet
You'd have to take a bus to the reston station, probs best to uber from dulles to the reston station then get into dc that way. Btw theres not really a good metro station near georgetown but uber works good if you dont wanna walk 20+ mins

Just DCA. Dulles will eventually have metro access but that process hasn't been completed yet.
I live in DC and the extra money to fly directly into DCA is well worth it, in my opinion.... Dulles is incredibly inconvenient without a car.

They have a shuttle at Dupont Circle. Well, a block or two down the street I suppose.
Def noticed the inconvenience thing lol unfortunately, my flights were like $80-$100 more to go to DCA. Denver airport never ceases to stay weird.
whats the service recommendation

from their website:
EXPERIENCES - Clinical Experience, Leadership, Service, and Research. A highly competitive applicant will present a minimum of:
- ~200 hours of substantive, longitudinal clinical experiences such as: shadowing a physician, medical mission trips, scribing, etc. Please note that volunteering on the floors such as playing/reading to children, stocking shelves and transporting patients is considered good community volunteer experience, but not hands-on clinical experience. International experiences are acceptable, but a majority should be in the United States.
- ~100 hours of research in any academic discipline.
- ~100 hours of direct service of the underserved.
essentially at least 300 total hours of service
Lovely, thank you!!
