Complete end of July. I don't know when I was put on hold for re-review. Sent an update and have not heard anything yet. I guess no news is good news. :) Did you include a letter of interest update?

Pre II rejection after being on hold for months
Completed mid August, OOS, Lm 67
 
Hey guys! Sorry to hear :( Did you all get rejected at around 8:30am? I'm wondering if the rejections are coming out throughout the day or if they batched them?
 
Anyone who has been accepted: signing/returning the acceptance forms are not binding, correct? Some of the language in the letters made it seem like it is but I'm pretty sure it is not. Sorry for the dumb question!

It's definitely not

Me!... although what I think might be happening is that the status change to "re-review" seems to have only happened to people who then go on to receive II. Among those rejected, I think they go from "hold" to directly getting the R via email without a status change. Not sure though- perhaps others can confirm.

My status was still hold for re-review last night and then I got the R this morning, so this may be true.
 
Anyone still alive with mid-July complete date? Been on hold since then lol

Also got the axe today, complete late August put on hold two weeks later. Saw the email right before my 4-hour drive home for Thanksgiving break so needless to say that was a great chance for me to ponder my failures

Just wanted to share a few things I learned from GW's open house. If anyone is on the fence about applying here or sending a secondary in, this school apparently does not penalize you for submitting a later secondary (even before the deadline). Their review process is pretty fast and admissions told us we still have a good chance if we submit the secondary in December (not saying that's what you should do of course). They told us that they have accepted people a week before classes begin as well. Lastly, admissions mentioned that not all files are re-reviewed an equal number of times, and there is no way to predict who gets re-reviewed when. I think applications are sorted into certain piles for re-review, and some are re-reviewed at a higher priority than others :shrug:

Also, their international medicine opportunities are simply amazing and a lot of the students I met wanted to do an MD/MPH! :)

Confirmed
 
Rejected post hold, pre II yesterday as well. I had just submitted an update the day before, and thought my update was the reason for my R. So I was relieved in a way to find out they sent out many rejections, haha. Good luck to everyone else!
 
Sent an update in on Thursday, just checked status and it changed from on hold for re-review to your file is under review. Hopefully more good news to come!

congrats!! was it a significant update?

I know this is a late reply but I am in that boat too. Do you know anyone who has been re-reviewed and got an interview?

Several ppl on this thread. My theory is that people put on hold get assigned different re-review dates/periods, but I don't know for certain.
