That's weird... I didn't get any email for any panel
I don't think I ever got a confirmation

Just an update for the people on hold, I was placed on hold last year and got my II in early November. There is still hope!
Clearly, things still did not work out for me lol but got an II again for this cycle! I noticed that there is no student interview this year. Unsure how I feel about this.

What do you mean by student interview?
probably being interviewed by a student, which is usually nice to calm the nerves :/
Yeah, I have an interview at the end of September and heard nothing about this panel!

I'm going to say this again. My boss, who is an Alumnus of George Washington and has sat on admissions committees before, has told me that being on hold at GWU is nothing to be worried about. He was on hold for several months before he got his interview invite. His stats were around the median for GWU.

There is only one interview with a faculty member this year as opposed an additional interview with a current med student.
Wow I didn't notice that at first, thanks for the heads up. Last year I had a gw interview with one faculty and one student separately.

They won't send you an email, check your application portal to see updates. I was complete at the start of July, had no update email and only discovered earlier this week that I was put on their waitlist (which is apparently not a soft R, they do actually progress through it)

I've been refreshing the portal it gives me that "your file now complete" message
Then it needs to go under committee review. Sit tight! Most places don't really pick up the pace on interviews until after Labor Day.

You're right, I am just being hella impatient lol
Does anybody know why this is the case? I would have guessed it would be NYU or Kaiser due to free tuition.
Fwiw Kaiser has the highest ratio of applicants:students but they also have a tiny class size
I think they interviewed like 750 for 150 acceptances but I’m guessing they changed it up after the first cycle. I’m wondering if everybody who turned down kaiser also had an acceptance to NYU or MD/PhD. Or maybe I’m underestimating the number of high net worth applicants?

For those who got an informal invite, how long did it take before they emailed you the formal interview invite?
How are y’all writing thank you letters to your interviewers
“Good Morning/Evening/Afternoon Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr. X,
I appreciate the opportunity to have interviewed today. I look forward to my acceptance email and seeing you next fall.
Sincerely,
justwaiting12”
This comes across as somewhat over-confident. Second line should be something like:
I hope that I am fortunate enough to see you next fall as an M1
Haha no I was 100% kidding you should never say this. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well over the internet ):

Congrats to those who have already interviewed! I have mine coming up Friday (9/10) and was hoping to hear about experiences!
Either here or a direct message would be SO SO appreciated 🙂
Sincerely,
A very anxious reapplicant

If you could also share those experiences with me as well I would love that! I have my interview on 9/28 so the anxiety is starting to trickle in!
Sincerely,
Also a very anxious reapplicant
My interview was very laid back. More like a chat with a faculty for about 30 minutes. The interviewer lead the conversation based on what you say so try highlighting your qualities and talk about those more! Overall nothing to stress about!

How long did it take you all to get an email to schedule an interview after seeing this message?
"Your file has been reviewed and you will receive a formal invitation by email about how to schedule a virtual interview. Until the time the formal invitation is sent, there is nothing additional you must do."

I can’t answer this for myself because I didn’t see my portal change but I wanted to stop in and say that they actually assign you a date!
is it "on hold" or is it "re-review" because there is a difference.

Yeah I was gonna say…my message says I’m on hold for re-review!!
From all that I’ve gathered that’s simply the default status for anyone who has not been rejected or offered an II yet. Like we all have that status until our app is sent in one of those two directions. It basically is telling you what other schools aren’t telling you. If you weren’t in the first wave of IIs or Rs for a school, you are now in their re-review category (they just aren’t as explicit as GW).
Adding onto this. Had my interview this past Tuesday and they were so great and made me feel comfortable. We laughed and everything. Definitely be yourself!
Anybody else who applied ED heard back yet??

Had my interview today and it was SO low stress and the interviewer was very nice! For those of you with interviews coming up: just be yourself and don’t stress too much 🙂

So I had my interview with GW last year when I applied, It feels like having a conversation with someone you just met and it's very, natural at least that was my experience. Don't overthink and just be yourself, I know it's cliche but it really goes a long way
Me. I’m URM with LM 69 if that matters!

Go in confident in your journey and knowing why you want to attend school at GW! It was so conversational and I stressed way more than I needed to. My interviewer was so kind and the 30 mins went by so fast.
~Really~ just be yourself and turn that stress into excitement!
Yep
