Latest SDN article! Medical School, Humor, and the Hidden Curriculum
This is the exact same thing as I did, one awkwardly right before getting waitlisted and one 2 weeks after hearing. Got in 3 weeks after my 2nd letter so I wouldn't send another unless there's something substantial to tell them.
Congrats on the A! Do you mind sharing when you got off the WL? I sent letter in early January, so I am wondering when I should send another.
Is there a social hour after? I have that it ends @ 4:30p, so I plan on leaving Friday.
How long does it typically take for them to get back to us with a decision
yeah they told us that they’d get back in 8-10 weeks and I interviewed Jan 10ish :/. Assuming it’s an R
I’m sorry to hear that. Best of luck with the rest of your schools.
But to clarify, my admissions decision was an A. Interviewed 8/18 and heard via phone 11/9.
I got my acceptance like 12 weeks later so more waiting doesnt necessarily mean R!
+1 honestly don’t assume anything until you’ve heard from them. I heard a dean change was causing some slowdown in decisions.

There's hardly any competition between students. We share notes, anki decks, study tips, etc with everyone. Students are generally very friendly with one another as well. The school is true P/F for everything, which brings down the stress significantly... I couldn't imagine doing this any way besides P/F
Check your email, I got an email/portal update a couple hours after I posted this. It turned out to be just another waitlist designation though.... the classic response I've been getting this cycle lol
Whaaat I just checked and have no email yet, but I thought my II went badly so I'm taking that as a bad sign.
Has anybody been able to access finaid on myaccess? Login, so far, is not working for me.
I have been able to login to my access but there hasn't been an award listed as of yet.
Is the login and pw same as for the applicant portal? Tyty

No, It's not the same as the portal. You have to set up your NetID first and then change the password from the default that was assigned to you. Then you can use the NetID and your new password to login into MyAccess
Sigh... Interviewed on 01/16/2020 and was wait-listed this morning. Anyone know the percentage of people getting accepted from wait list?
Nope, I really hope they follow through with sending it out today!
Ooo interesting. Mine's still not up, but that makes me feel more optimistic that I might still get it today!
Since no one likes to post these...also R post II. My interviewer said I would be a great fit here haha. Congrats to those who were accepted!
Received a 30k scholarship, does anyone know where that stands for their financial aid. Think I can ask for more or is that probably on the higher end?
Considering it is need based aid, probably not. Unless you have additional circumstances you did not disclose.
They’re definitely known for being expensive and not generous with aid.. They don’t do merit aid at all, so any aid you would have gotten would have been purely need based. I didn’t get any need-based aid either. I already have a lot of student debt so unfortunately this means I’m not going to be able to go to GT. Which sucks because I fit this school’s mission to a T and I really loved it. Oh well, I’m grateful just to have gotten an acceptance in the first place.
I was in the same boat so I decided to join the Air Force through the HPSP. It's a pretty good deal if you are interested in serving your country as a physician for a few years after you're done with residency. GUSoM has a really strong military presence and has the highest number of HPSP recipients per school (second to USUHS). And we have a lot of support from administration too. Hit me up if you have any questions and congratulations on being accepted to GUSoM.
Accepted today, interviewed 1/13. OOS.
Wash your hands and stay safe!
