Do we know if GU is receptive to additional letters of recommendation from the waitlist? I already sent an update letter after the initial WL decision but I can't really find any info on it. Thanks!

Not surprised but still a little bummed! Pre-II R, complete 09/16. LM 72
Do you accept post-submission updates (including transcripts)?
Post-submission updates will be limited to text updates submitted via the online Secondary Application portal. Mailed or emailed correspondence – including transcripts and thank-you notes – will not be uploaded to your application. Applicants who have interviewed will have the opportunity to upload a thank-you note in PDF format (which may be typed or hand-written/scanned by the applicant) to the Secondary Application.
Pre II R, good luck all! Complete 9/20
Pre II R this morning, complete 9/6
Have these Rs been rolling in all day or did they all come in the AM? Not sure how much longer I'll last lol

Congratulations!! Out of curiosity, did you happen to submit an update letter or LOI prior to your A, post-interview?

Thanks!
Yes, I sent an update through the portal three weeks before getting the A. I didn't send a LOI though.
how long is interview season until for Georgetown ?
Pre-II R as well, complete 10/18. A little disappointed but it is what it is. Good luck everyone!

Just got an R. Complete late Sept. Second rejection today. Thinking I should stop paying attention to SDN and just assume the worst outcome for this application cycle.
Don't lose hope! I'm not counting myself out from the schools I haven't heard from until at least February. We still have time!

Hey! So I have a very specific question.
I already sent a letter of intent to the school in that 8-10 week waiting period. However now since I am on the waitlist I need/want to send another (they provide a new and very specific spot for LOIs on the WL portion of the portal) but I honestly don’t know what else to say that isn’t repeating myself from my initial LOI. For those who have written multiple Letters of Interest before, how did you keep it fresh each time? Lol. I could really use some advice! Thank you so much in advance.

The same thing happened to me and I imagine to lots of other people. Really sucks and have been trying to think of something myself :/ I hope someone else can chime in on this to help us both lol

Waitlisted. Interviewed 10/6. Anyone know what the waitlist movement is like with a letter of intent?
Anecdotally, they have good wait list movement. However, they didn't report it to MSAR, so we don't have any hard numbers.
I think the best info available would be reading through last years and previous years’ thread
Interviewed 10/14. Any idea if I'll be hearing before the holiday? looks not like it 🙁

interviewed same week -- hoping for the best, expecting the worse
Same :-(
I feel like you’ll probably hear the week of Jan 4 which is when most things return from break.
Sigh, I figured

Are the interviews open or closed file?
If anyone is taking part in the special policy that Gtown has for students doing SMP's/grad programs at other schools, could you shed some light on the additional LOR they talk about? It says you can send an additional letter to the school from your current program director to the school and it wouldn't be counted under the official letters, so does this just mean you can have someone email the letter to medadmissions?
My understanding and experience is that they are partially open -- they have access to things like your personal statement, activities, and secondary essay, but they don't have access to your stats (GPA, MCAT, etc.).

How long is the Interview Day Presentation? It starts at 10:45 AM EST but when does it end? Also what do you do during this time? Do you just listen or do you speak?

Have decisions/calls gone out for anyone that interviewed later than 10/6?

I dont think so... anyone know when next round of As go out?
Does anyone know the WL movement and when we might start expecting notifications? I tried reading previous threads and couldn't get a good idea (also because COVID-19 I'm not sure if things might be delayed).
Most of it will probably happen March/April. I think it started last year late Feb. I predict it'll probably be drastically different this year due to COVID with more movement - maybe earlier.
I’m anxious to find out as well! Should be this week. Honestly was expecting to see some movement today.
