Does anyone know if GW is still doing the "likely" emails this year? It seems like everyone who has gotten off the WL so far has gotten an informal email so I'm not sure what that means🤔

I've gotten one of those emails. Responded and was told I'd hear from them very soon. Still haven't heard. I don't think it means that much...

I'm really starting to overthink everything rn. was I too eager in the interview? did I send too many updates? too many additional LOR? did I do terrible on the interview even though I walked away feeling good at first?

Understandable reaction, but I can tell you with a fair amount of certainty that at the point you’re at now it’s all chance. There are factors that have nothing to do with your interview that determine who they pick WAY more than your interview performance: they need a certain demographic breakdown, they need a certain personality profile, a certain background.

Your stats, application, and interview got you in the door. It stopped being about getting the “best” applicants and started being about their incoming class profile a while ago I’d imagine. Med school consulting companies reinforce the idea that YOU did something that kept you out (which is possible), but in reality at a certain point it’s just chance.

I’m sure you did fine! I was reading a Reddit post this morning and it was talking about how many applicants are qualified but there just aren’t enough spots. There’s a lot of luck involved in this process too so don’t count yourself short.

So keep your head up and as I’m sure you’ve heard don’t let this grueling process define you. You will be a doctor one day -you’re GWSTAN

And don’t worry we are all second guessing ourselves. Hope this tid-bit helped and if not I’ll read it to myself later for my next “overthinking episode” lol

would it be unreasonable to email admissions and ask if waitlist movement is still flowing or if it’s slowed down?

I spoke to someone in admissions last week and was told that it's a permanently dynamic situation. Apparently they don't do weekly committee meetings or send things in batches like other schools; they make movements as they happen as quickly as possible. The nice lady told me that last year they were dealing with the waitlist into July, so there's that. Take all that with a grain of salt though.
 
Received an email this morning saying there’s a seat but comes with participation in their pre matriculation program. Responded to it and within 30 minutes they responded that they are sending an official acceptance letter. So I guess movement still is happening. Does anyone know anything about this program? Anyone else been offered an acceptance with it?

I think they are referring to this possibly ?Summer Prematriculation Program | The School of Medicine & Health Sciences

Congrats!

Congratulations! Movement on the AL seems to have been quite slow, but still seems to hold some sort of chronological pattern, as people from September-December have heard back, but not anyone from January onwards. Anyone from January hear back yet? Still not giving up hope to my top choice school 🙂

Did you receive a "likely email" prior to this email?
