I interviewed this week too and they told me 8-10 weeks... I really hope it's 4-6, I cannot wait!

I was also told 8-10 weeks. Hoping it's quicker, but I have a feeling they will take their sweet time based on past threads

Did you guys get an email saying you were under review? Or it was updated on the website?

I got a "secondary reviewed" followed by a "secondary complete" email immediately after submitting the secondary. No emails after those two. The "complete" email said my app would be forwarded to the adcoms for review, but I'm not sure if my status changed to "under review" in the portal at that time or later :/
 
When are interview results supposed to come out for mid/late September?

they told us 8-10 weeks, so i would be prepared for right before thanksgiving (conservative guess). but in looking at last years thread, there were definitely some people who heard back ~4 weeks after interviewing mid/late sept (so my guess would be best case next week)

They only have you personal statement and secondary essay. Very laid back. Don’t stress!

Your interviewer is given your file, but they don't have to read it. My interviewer told me he had it but doesnt like to read them beforehand. Its pretty conversational so just be yourself

I'm going crazy. I interviewed at the end of Aug. and thought we would hear back either yesterday or today based on the past 2 years where people heard on Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully tomorrow!! Crossing my fingers for both of us

Do you think they already decided and are waiting to call? Or do you think they are still deciding?

Wondering if I made a mistake by not completing the secondary for this school. I had one subsection score below 125 and didnt have significant clinical experiences. My friend encouraged me to apply, but i think its too late. Should I?

Median is 512. Assuming you are above that and I have something that can shore up the weaknesses in your clinical experiences then go for it. But be realistic.

Does anyone know if this school is receptive to updates? I've been on hold for over a month now. Has anyone received an II who was previously on hold?
 
Is anyone else still waiting to hear back anything, but submitted the secondary in mid-July?

GT is a very low yield school for any applicant. Its an anomaly as they have the most applicants (14,000+)/ lowest acceptance rate (<3%) but a relatively low MCAT average (512-513). With that being said they are likely looking for certain things as it pertains to their mission, but none of us can be too sure as to what that is. Also, it is getting to be very late in the cycle for any school, which also hurts the chances of getting an ii.

If put on hold I highly doubt they have revisited your app this early. They still have apps coming in they haven't looked at once. They will likely visit later in winter (December-January). It still does not hurt to send in an update. I am not sure how much it would help but if well written should be fine.

Oops I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread! Meant to post in GW
 
Anyone else complete 7/31 still have silence? It seems like they're rejecting/ sending II to people who were complete in August now.

Yeah, I saw a couple IIs given away to people complete mid September as well.
 
Last year they started sending decisions out October 17, but looks like this year it may take the whole 8-10 weeks. This process definitely requires lots of patience!

It was super chill. They make you feel comfortable and there’s a lot of time to ask questions before the interview. I had a great time. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

My portal says that my application/file is under review (I interviewed in late sept). Does anyone else have that?
 
For all those wondering, I don't believe that Georgetown has begun to release any post-interview admissions decisions. I interviewed in late-August and have not heard anything yet.

I’m in the same boat, interviewed late September. Considering sending in an update/LOI soon but not sure about how this would be viewed.

Schools usually don't consider or look at updates/ LOI until wait list positions. May be better to hold off till u get ur initial decision.

Looking at last year’s thread it appears that some late Sept. folks heard back about acceptances in mid-Nov. so don’t be worried if you don’t hear back just yet...decisions are coming as fast as they can!
