Got the A! Interviewed 02/11.

Guess that doesnt bond well for me. I interviewed 1/18 and havent heard back

 

[deleted1111654]

Have any other February interviewees heard back?

 

[DoctorProfessorPat]

Anyone who interviewed on 01/28 hear back?

 

[elijahR]

Anyone know what attire is recommended for the Alternate Webinar happening today? I'd assume we don't have to dress up like the interview?

 

[Tyelonewolf]

I can’t make the webinar because of work either. If someone is willing to write a summary that would be amazing!

 

[CARSIsTheFinalSquidGame]

UNMUTE YOUR MICS IF YOU CAN READ THIS.

Got the A! Interviewed 02/11.

Congrats! I guess this means they aren't necessarily going in the order of interview dates..?

I missed the beginning of the alternate webinar. I remember they referenced we’re put in tiers towards the end. Do they tell us what tier were in/ when we are placed?

 

[ilovetacos21]

Can anyone comment on the GW SMHS campus and buildings? How are the classrooms, libraries, studying places, etc.? I was told by someone that everything is SO old that it’s low-key depressing.

I really don't think so. He basically said it would not be useful for us to know our place on the list, so they do not intend to disclose that info to us. I think once you are on the alternate, you have your ranking. From what he said the rankings do not really change based on anything you do, but I am guessing they can change if people drop off the alternate list. But he also said it's good if you show interest. Overall, the alternate list seems like a very abstract experience lol

Sounds like the translation is: if you’re on the alternate list, don’t hold your breath

I missed the alt webinar due to travel. Is there a chance that reflects poorly on me as an applicant?

Nah you're fine.

Tbh I didn't even receive an invite to the webinar, I only found out it existed because of this thread

 

[awhile_crocodile]

Anyone know when the last wave of IIs might be?

 

[Sasquatch_Boy]

Whats the best way to send a thank you letter, post interview?

 

[CrxRust]

Whats the best way to send a thank you letter, post interview?

Through the medical interview email. Just send the thank you note as an attachment and tell them to send it to the person you interviewed with

 

[squared97]

How many applicants were on the webinar?

 

[chefcookie]

How many applicants were on the webinar?

if you are referring to the alternate list webinar it was around 145

 

[deleted1111654]

does anyone know the best way to send a letter of intent, email or portal? has anyone sent one?

 

[effectedtag]

Anyone who interviewed 1/18 hear back yet?

 

[honeydew_honey]

does anyone know the best way to send a letter of intent, email or portal? has anyone sent one?

Either as a "message" or PDF attachment in the portal!

 

[Why Are We Still Here]

Need y'all's opinion. I already sent a letter of interest a few months ago. I'm alternate now and for their statement of interest should I just say briefly I still feel the same or rewrite it/add stuff? Thank you

If I was in your boat I'd definitely try to send the same message, but maybe come up with other stories/narratives that match up with why you feel GW is a good fit for you (if that makes sense). Eg if you talked about X clinical experience in the prior letter, now talk about Y, if you want to vary it up. But overall tone should remain the same. Source: another person on the GW waitlist

[premed0005]

for anyone who submitted financial aid forms, did you receive an email confirming they received it?

 

[lemonxlime]

Was on the alternate list and just withdrew my app! Best of luck you all and I hope you end up where you all want to go !

 

[biggkahuna]

Placed on alternate list this morning, complete early August and interviewed 1/18. Cautiously optimistic still :/

 

[deleted1111654]

Has anyone received an acceptance?

I interviewed the same day and have not heard back yet. I wonder what that means?

 

[effectedtag]

Last year, WL decisions came out March 1st and As March 2nd

Some people from that day already got waitlisted already though?

 

[potabletragedy]

Can I accept my offer of acceptance without officially securing my spot?

 

[wysdoc]

Can I accept my offer of acceptance without officially securing my spot?

applicants can accept more than one offer now until required to narrow down their choices in April

 

[dmblah]

Let’s gooooo! Pre II-R. Just wanted the pain to end.

 

[thenextmcdreamy]

just got hit with the pre-II R. I was complete late July and put on hold sometime in November I think.

 

[DoctorProfessorPat]

WL 😓 sent a LOI and everything. Honestly crushed.

My heart goes out to you friend; fingers crossed you’ll be admitted off the waitlist! Would you mind sharing when you interviewed?

 

[rani_muan]

If I interviewed on Feb 18, do you think its a good idea to send in an Letter of Intent sometime this week or next week? I'm not entirely sure when one should be writing LOI's haha

 

[babybluee]

Did anyone get accepted this week at all? I only see waitlists/alternates (and is this the same thing?).

Alternate pool and waitlist is the same thing at GW, I believe.
