Accepted yesterday!!! Interviewed late October, waitlisted in December. My top choice 🙂

Congratsss!!! Do u mind if i ask what ur stats were??

 

[pink_floyd]

Based on these posts on people getting off the WL, I'm guessing the time of day in which you can receive an email from GW can vary?

 

[GA_arYonkees_82]

Anyone ask admissions if they anticipate more WL movement?

 

[zvmau]

Anyone know how the Facebook group membership is shaping up? My anxiety is through the roof rn.

Oof pt. 2 — does anyone know how many seats they have each year?

 

[GA_arYonkees_82]

Last year they accepted a bit over 300 and 184 matriculated

Honestly, I'm pretty stoked. I expected it to be like 160.

Yeah hopefully the facebook group is caught up, meaning they still have 40 or so seats to offer once people do start withdrawing acceptances like they're supposed to

 

[Kajkid2]

We’re still in this guys!!!! Let’s not give up yet, there's lots of moving parts we probably don't even know about. Sorry if I scared anybody checking the thread for acceptance updates, but I wanted to share some positivity (>^_^)> <(^_^<)

There is a deposit to hold our seat right? Didn’t see anything about it in the emails and form

There are no deposits, and yes, there is a Facebook group. You should have received information about it in your email.

I'm guessing you're referring to an email that you get after signing the notice of acceptance?

Yes it seems to be all over the place

 

[premed4549]

is the wl ranked?

 

[walrus99]

After being accepted from the waitlist and submitting the Notice of Acceptance, does anyone know when we receive our GW Student ID # so we could go ahead and fill out the financial aid request form? Is there a due date for this form?

I emailed them and they said it would be a few days. I have yet to receive mine.

They say that they sort of rank, but the list is fluid.

 

[Syr-lion]

Any update on # of students from the FB group?

Looks like 146 total members so far- so not much change in the last few days...

I kinda hate that I noticed this but it actually went up to 147 and then down to 146 again *insert eyes emoji*

is it worth updating the school if a poster I was co-author for is being presented at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy conference next week, or is it just a waste of time so late in the game

I say definitely do it! If anything it'll show youre still interested

 

[GA_arYonkees_82]

Tbt to when 17 people got off waitlist last year just off SDN and this year there ain’t much

much sad

 

[Syr-lion]

Don't you guys think there'll be more movement based off the current number of people in the Facebook group?

 

[skrrss]

yeah i feel like there will be for sure! does anyone know if they are still sending those interest emails first and then the real acceptance or what?

 

[GA_arYonkees_82]

Last year it seemed like once the initial WL was done, they went straight to acceptance. That’s what it seemed like to me according to how people were posting on the thread.

 

[jayeyes97]

There are no deposits

wait is this true?! I have a DO acceptance that I have to confirm In 2 days with a non refundable deposit. if GWU doesn't have a deposit that would make me feel 1000x better about losing the previous one if I get accepted

yes, it is true

 

[GA_arYonkees_82]

Is the class full?

 

[Kajkid2]

Is the class full?

As of right now the GW MD Class of 2024 Facebook group has 152 members, with at least one of those being the admin (GW Admissions). Not sure how reliable the FB group size is for measuring class fullness though!

It is definitely not a good measure of class fullness. I have been accepted since February and the number of people on the Facebook page has stayed relatively stagnant. It also takes a while for people to receive the email with the accepted student information (It took me over 2 weeks to get mine).

 

[WillowTree566]

Me every day: " Okay today is the day" .... Me at 5pm: " Tomorrow is the day!".

I hope you all are keeping the hope, but also taking care of yourselves. Fingers crossed we'll see some more movement soon.

 

[futuremediguess]

Not sure how to gauge if I have a shot off the waitlist here. Sent in multiple updates, but radio silence from them...

Are we thinking COVID has delayed movement or do we think the class is pretty much full? I'll hold hope till the end!

I'm thinking COVID is slowing things down. Other schools have been super quiet too- probably bc meetings are happening virtually and it's harder to coordinate things between adcom. I'm assuming many accepted students might still be WL for their first choice schools, so maybe adcom has a rougher than usual estimate of A's available to be sent out.

This is what I'm thinking too. Here's to hoping for second half of the month movement!

 

[simzzz]

Accepted today! I sent an email inquiring about alternate list movement, and Kevin Nies the director of admissions, told me it has not been impacted by COVID-19, and that the majority of movement will still likely be in May. As a follow-up he asked me a couple questions about my status and how GW ranked as well as if I had taken a look at the paperwork for financial aid. After I answered his questions he told me to expect an acceptance in the next day or so and I received one within the hour. Best of luck to all of you! I think more movement must be coming!

Sorry I worded that weird. No he just asked me if I had submitted my FAFSA and taken a look at the required paperwork on the financial aid website for financial aid packages post acceptance

Yes I will be!

[simzzz]

I sent the email around 2p and received the official acceptance by 12:30p the next day

Last week, I got a similar email from Kevin Nies asking if I'd choose to attend GW and if I'd completed my FAFSA/looked at financial aid packages. I enthusiastically said yes, and he replied letting me know he'd convey the information to my file. Hope that's a good sign, but I'm not sure.

Did you email asking a specific question first? Also, had you sent an loi or anything?
