2019-2020 Medical College of Georgia at Augusta

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
But this person interviewed back in October. I interviewed in mid-late October and heard back in November. They have definitely already reviewed this person’s application.
They continue to review peoples' applications throughout the whole process, so people still have a chance of getting in even if they were rolled over a few application review sessions already.

I understand that, but i gave my opinion if this was me and what I would be thinking. And I said that in my response. People can be more optimistic than me
 
Just accepted! Interviewed in late November! thankful for you all throughout this nerve wrecking process and lot of positive vibes to everyone waiting to hear back.
congrats!! do you know if the emails are coming out in waves, or did you receive the email around the same time everyone else did?
 
Congrats on every acceptance! For all those accepted, if you have time, can you state what day you interviewed, and MCAT/GPA stats?
 
so are they done giving out acceptances now? based off last year's posts, it seems like next friday will be when waitlist emails are released
 
I’m curious for those accepted how many shadowing and volunteer hours you have. I have tons of experience working as a teaching assistant and tutor, a decent GPA and MCAT (3.96 and 514) about a year of research experience without publications, but little volunteering- clinical or otherwise. I’m wondering if this is what’s hurt me. Or maybe I just totally blew the interview 🙁.

I had over 1000 hours shadowing and a year of work in a clinic during undergrad. I am now in my second year of a fellowship at the NIH and volunteer in the ICU at a hospital nearby on the weekends!

How many hours of clinical exposure (shadowing or volunteering or working) did you have?

Wow that’s awesome! I don’t have a car and live in a town
How many hours of clinical exposure (shadowing or volunteering or working) did you have?
Not a lot. Maybe 200?
 
I realized I accidentally posted before finishing lol. I live in a town without public transportation and don’t have a car, so getting extracurricular hours has been challenging.

So do we think we are going to get another week of acceptances or is this the waitlist/rejection week?
 
Just called and when I asked if they are done handing out acceptances they said “the committee is still making final decisions”. And then when I asked if that means they still have meetings left, she said yes. So, in other words, I’m still maintaining hope!

Is anyone else getting the error when they try to accept the waitlist
 
It sounds like those who were nice enough to call this week (thank you!!) have gotten conflicting info about there still being committee meetings left vs. all of us will hear by the end of this week. So a little worried that the silence ultimately means rejection
