Just got an II! I was assigned a date in early March, however, I'm in the area and don't need to make travel arrangements. Has anyone tried requesting an earlier date and if so, did you have any luck?

 

[Pdazzle11]

Anyone from 11/29 or 11/30 interview here back?

were you ever on hold?

 

[impasta_syndrome]

were you ever on hold?

Yes! I was complete early July and put on hold sometime in August. I noticed my status changed to "under review" a few days ago.

that's awesome! Congrats!! May I ask your LM score, if you sent any updates and were you able to see how many interview days are left/open?

I think people have had some success getting moved up sooner, just email admissions and ask for an earlier date if available. They’re very helpful

Unfortunately, I didn't have the option of viewing other dates. LM score ~68. I sent a few updates, one every 2 months or so.

alternate list just now, interviewed 11/29.

Same. Alternate list; interviewed 11/30. Love this school. Any idea if there’s waitlist movement or if this is just a soft rejection?

 

[roundaboutroute]

Anyone from 11/29 or 11/30 interview here back?

I interviewed on 11/29 and just heard today - accepted!!!

The Facebook group for my class wasn't made until about Feb-March.

There's definitely movement. A lot of my classmates were on the waitlist before getting accepted. One guy got off the waitlist like a week before orientation lol.

 

[Medicine Mamba]

So, for those of us still on hold, are we done?

 

[academy4dawise]

Is there any advantage of interviewing at an earlier date for GW? I was assigned to early march, but could interview in February if possible.

 

[md_from_md]

I spoke it into existence lol. Just got the R. Damn. Going to prep even harder for my next, and possibly final, interview.

This process is COLD.

 

[whorobbedthewoods]

Sorry everyone. Did these come all at the same time or are they trickling in throughout the afternoon? If it's the latter then there's still hope that the sweet release of death will find me today at last.

 

[br2pi5]

just got the R... tears

 

[Jamba1995]

just got the R... tears

+ 1 million it seems!

 

[letsgoooo]

R earlier today

 

[mariposas905]

So I got scared looking at all these R's and quickly sent in an update hopefully, they see that and decide to reconsider the death sentence lol

 

[reddyice]

still on hold, complete mid july

 

[ChickRick16]

Alternate list today, interviewed 12/6. Really upset about this one as GW is my top choice. Any advice from anyone who got in off the waitlist in previous years?

Congrats! When did you receive the email and did you submit any updates? Thanks.

Has anyone else from that week heard back yet?

 

[Boola Boy]

Do you need a car during the pre-clinical years? Or during the clinical years?

Is student housing offered?

Any groceries stores that are close to the campus?

Is grading pass/fail?

Where do people party in the city?

Interested in living without a car and meeting other young professionals when I'm not studying, that's why I am asking these questions...thank you!

Edit: Also, how does Second Look work? Do I need to find my own accommodations? How long does it last?

1) No to pre-clinical years. Maybe to clinical years since some rotations are not at the main GWU hospital (you can always car-pool with other students).

2) Student housing is not offered but there is an abundance of options in the area and northern VA/Maryland.

3) Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

4) It is indeed pass/fail.

5) Georgetown area, Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle.

You can definitely manage living in DC w/o a car and you will absolutely have the opportunity to meet other young professionals.

Second look is one day in April-ish. You sit and listen to presentations for most of the day then have a reception in the early evening with professors, deans, etc. I think you can be housed with a student if I remember correctly.

Alternate list just now... pretty disappointed. Interviewed mid dec

do you know if WL people get invited to second look? And does the school give you enough money to live comfortably in DC/how much do people tend to spend on rent?
