Hi everyone! Reapplying this upcoming cycle and wondering if you could guys answer some of my questions.
1) For those of you received II and/or A, did you guys complete preVIEW/sjt? Or is this upcoming year the first time GW recommending this exam? I wasn't sure how much of a recommendation it is.
2) If there are any reapplicants here, would you guys say if I received II during my last cycle, would my probability of receiving II again be high?
 
There was no sjt last cycle
Did u get the Interview? I don’t think there is any pattern in all this at all

ah, wondering how much weight will preview will hold next cycle... and yea I received an II during my first cycle (20-21) and reapplying this upcoming cycle. GW has been my first choice all along so I am crossing my fingers
 
Would it be too late to submit an additional letter of rec at this point to try to get off the waitlist...?
 
I just received a "you've expressed high interest in GW/are you still interested + please let us know ASAP" email-- does this mean anything or are they sending this to all waitlisted applicants?

Congrats! Did you send a letter of intent or any updates since being waitlisted?

Can you share when you interviewed?
 
Does anyone know if GW is internally ranked? I assume yes because of AOA but want to verify. And what is the ranking criteria for AOA? Thanks!

Current student here. We're ranked in the sense that when the dean's office writes a letter to residency programs (called the MSPE) in our 4th year, we're each given a specific adjective ("outstanding," "excellent," "very good," "good," or "satisfactory"). The adjective is based on our grades in preclinicals and core clerkships. The letter will also mention if your preclinical grades were in the top 25%; no mention if not. AOA is a separate thing, and the qualifications are explained (somewhat vaguely) here.

Good luck to everyone!
 
After receiving the email quoted by someone else above saying i expressed high interest, i obviously said I'm still interested and here's what they sent me:

Hi NAME, That is wonderful to know. You will likely hear from us soon.

Fingers crossed cause I ain't got As 🤡

Edit: i interviewed early September :/ and i wanna mention I'm an idiot and actually got that email Friday but didn't respond to it for some otherworldly reason so they sent me another one today to which i responded within 20 minutes

Congrats! When did you receive the email?
 
I have officially joined the accepted off the waitlist group 😍!!!!! GW is my top choice and I absolutely can't believe it! I interviewed 10/17, sent update letters, and had an extra LOR and either that all paid off or it literally didn't matter but regardless I am so happy I could cry
