2020-2021 Georgetown

[absolute_lad]

Welp, I interviewed 12/8 and am bracing myself for a WL or R. It seems like the acceptance wave was yesterday.

orrrrrrrr, (i interviewed 12/10), we catch the next A wave in the following weeks since it seems like no one has received a decision during our week

I feel your pain, friend. The decisions that are made behind closed doors that separate an outright acceptance from a WL are arguably the most mystifying part of the entire application process - it's particularly frustrating when you hear such positive feedback from your interviewer (I was under the impression the the interview here carries a lot of weight in the final decision process but who knows how Georgetown actually operates).

Happy to chat in PMs if you need to vent or just someone to sympathize with - hang in there.

Important to remember 1 interviewers opinion is only that. The final executive admissions committee gets to vote while looking at the whole picture.

Anyone from the week of 11/30-12/4 get an A in this wave?

 

[owleyes42]

Do they send out post-II R's? I interviewed 11/10 and have not heard anything since

 

[ballermd10]

does anyone know what is going on?

WL; interviewed 12/1

Was told that I would be an "amazing fit" for Georgetown by my interviewer.

NGL, I am kind of devastated. This was my only MD interview (2 DOs: 1 WL, 1 affective WL) and last real chance this year at an acceptance, but I loved everything about this school and felt like out of all the schools I applied to, this was the only one that really actually resonated with me perfectly and it also happened to fit exactly what I was looking for (location, size, programs, etc). I know a WL isn't a death sentence and it's not over until it's over, but man, this is crushing after such a long wait.

I'm sorry - I know exactly how you feel I really do hope you get off the WL soon - it looks like they take people off the WL sooner rather than later compared to other schools

If you don't mind me asking - did you interview with faculty or an M4? It seems as though they may not place as much weight on the interview as I would've thought? I'm not sure, guessing over here per usual lolll

Woaahhhh!!! What is going on? LOL, I am so confused. I just logged in this thread thinking Fridays are decision days. So they skipped Novemeber . I interviewed on 11/10 and nothing.

11/4 and nada.

 

[drscorpio]

I really feel like they just gave up lol (11/19)

 

[mittenz4blood]

Random Q for my WL heroes: did any of you guys send a LOI or any sort of other communication between being waitlisted and now?

Just one Letter of Intent right after being given a WL spot

 

[Caffeinated_premed]

Just one Letter of Intent right after being given a WL spot

Okay, that gives me some hope, thanks! I did the same thing (sent in a letter of intent about 5 days after getting the WL) so I'm hoping that may work for me down the line 🤞

 

[pine_cone1]

I wonder if we’re going to hear back today

I wonder if we’re going to hear back today

I hope so! I thought it was Fridays but apparently Mondays are also possible so no one knows ..

 

[ballermd10]

when did they finish interviewing?

 

[ImPickleRick21]

Has anyone had this same problem as me regarding financial aid?
When I enter my information to any of the three credit bureaus, they each say they cannot verify my identification, so I had to send in supporting documentation for them to do so. I believe this is because I do not have an actual credit history (no credit card, no renting a place, etc.). Is anyone else in the same boat?

 

[Condole]

Was waitisted in Dec. Any ideas on WL movement here?

 

[maybemd21]

Anyone know when classes start or orientation is?

 

[Caffeinated_premed]

WL movement already started a week or two ago.

 

[wegotthis20201234]

[nitvbasgims12]

I didn't

 

[breezys16]

Nope. None at all

 

[packratlabrat]

I didn’t either

 

[dontknowifimpremed]

has anyone else that interviewed in nov/dec hear back?

 

[absolute_lad]

i swear if we don't hear tomorrow someone better put me in a coma before this anxiety does

 

[JAK/No stat]

Tmrw it is lol ... let's speak it into existence

 

[helloeverybody123]

Anyone hear anything yet?

WL. Interviewed 12/1.

 

[absolute_lad]

WL interviewed 12/10. Email was in my spam btw. Hurts man

 

[emarled1427]

Didn't recieve an email but just checked the portal and I got WL. Interviewed 12/8, well at least it's not a R, they do post-II Rs right?

 

[jbchooch04]

Waitlisted (11/19); checked portal

 

[soygirl]

WL interviewed 12/1

 

[JAK/No stat]

Anyone who interviewed in the first week of November haven't heard yet? I am so confused... maybe they aren't reviewing by interview dates?

+1!

 

[bengaltiger]

+1

 

[outrightornery]

WL interviewed 11/4

 

[absolute_lad]

Vent: not upset at the WL but just frustrated at the amount of time it took to send out decisions to everyone. Now it’s going to be another wait sesh for the WL decision and this full process is just so grueling and mentally taxing. Hope y’all are okay as well

Next 25-30 ALs will go to top SMP students. After that, whatever is left (< 10), and then Goodnight Gracie.

I am confused as to what this means. What is an AL?

communication status

thank you! and it was just a new message that was sent out today?

 

[dontknowifimpremed]

So are they done with November at least? and now moving onto December interviewees?

Interviewed Nov 10, and still haven't heard anything. so probably not unless of course they lost my application lol

Yeah, "adcoms...taking some time off with the election upcoming" sounds much more logical!!
(Sound familiar?) Son, trust me. SMP & GEMS are next. The grades from next week's 2 tests for SMP will lock their chances, they are getting ALs next. That will take us right into end of April. Don't you wish you could see same communication that is shared with SMP & GEMS students? Praying and positive thinking are all good. But facts are facts.

Ignoring the fact that this is nearly impossible to follow, so what about those who interviewed throughout January and February? You’re suggesting they are not in contention for acceptances?
