Can someone explain when to send LoI's / what to include? I interviewed 9/30, but I'm pretty sure my interview went pretty poorly (my interviewer GRILLED me on international healthcare so rip). Georgetown is one of my top choices, but I never got to express that in my interview because it didn't come up...

They didn't ask why gtown??

 

[sweatysweetpotato79]

Nope! I got why medicine and then the conversation went towards international healthcare and policy... which was a big yikes for me. I was also asked what do I NOT like about Georgetown and DC... errr... yeah. Also why other schools (Hopkins, Harvard) are better than Gerogetown. Needless to say, my interviewer really threw me for a loop.

So what does it mean if we heard nothing yesterday and interviewed early september?

+1 interviewed 9/1 and nothing yet :/

 

[dancer24]

I just sent in my fifth letter of recommendation after interviewing early September. Have yet to hear back about a decision, should I submit an update via the portal that a fifth letter is coming?

 

[fromatoz24]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is it important to send letters of intent post II and awaiting response? Or save for when waitlisted?

 

[voxveritatisetlucis]

What do you guys think differentiates between a waitlisted applicant and an accepted one? Bc many seem to think they had good interviews. Do you think it’s stat focused? Interview? Mission? Interest (in either direction)?

Coin flip

 

[md6988]

Just got the call !! interviewed 9/1.

Update... I just got the call!!! Interviewed 9/8!

 

[4pf]

Got the A call! Interviewed on 9/9

 

[ambitious.dr]

Congrats on the acceptances! Did everyone submit a letter of interest before post-interview? Thanks!

 

[zbdadazb]

Got the call as well 😭 so so happy! Interviewed 9/8 and did not send a LOI but did show a lot of interest in the school through my thank you letter

Has anyone who interviewed on 9/14 heard anything yet?

 

[al32341]

I know its an arbitrary question, but when do we think those who interviewed on 10/1 can expect to hear back?

 

[graeme]

Has anyone who interviewed on 9/14 heard anything yet?

Interviewed on the same day - Ahh so excited!! Fingers crossed for you 🙂

Interviewed 9/14 as well, but based on what I've seen no one from our week has gotten any sort of decision (A, WL, or R)... so either today or next week there should be a wave of those coming for us :/

Does anyone know if interviewing with a student is a good sign? Have my interview coming up (not sure who I’m paired with) and just curious—like it seems 1000% easier to interview with a student

I had my interview last week and it was with a 4th year medical student. Personally, I found it so much more relaxed and she even said it's supposed to be low-key and just a conversation. Best of luck!

so my point here is that, was it on purpose because they liked our application A LOT and will give us an M4 to be chill? Just curious since people might be able to do way better performance/relationship wise with a student

Your interview invite indicates that they liked your app a lot! Schools just put in the effort to provide an interviewer who has a lot in common with you to provide a better interview experience. Nothing more than that. Another school intentionally assigned me to a urologist because I have a lot of clinical experience in a urology office.

Personally, I had better experiences with faculty members and residents than with students. Every M4 interviewer grilled or interrogated me (including gtown), while every faculty member/resident was extremely nice. Every interviewer is different, and you can only find out his/her style after the first 5 mins of your interview.

They interrogated you?

Gtown didn't do an interrogation-type interview. But got grilled instead 😵

Grilled about what??

 

[yepanotherpmed]

LOL I got rejected pre-II...........but I have interviewed at HMS and other top schools. Tufts syndrome! 🤣

 

[dancer24]

Is there a Facebook or Groupme for admitted students?

 

[threedaysgrace]

early september ii and haven't been called/emailed, is this an R/WL or is there hope?

Hey jimmy neutron, loved your show growing up. All it means is that they haven't reach a decision on you yet. You will either get a phone call or email when they get to you!

 

[doctorhalstead]

Also they did say the decision can take 9-12 weeks after your interview, so they probably haven't gotten to you yet 🙂

 

[Phase Rush]

Has everyone who submitted mid September or earlier heard something back yet (R or II)?

Wondering if anyone else is getting the silent treatment

I was complete 9/29 and received an interview invite on 10/19 so I definitely think they're still reviewing late applicants! I had a 3.55 overall gpa and 511!

 

[Yammins]

Pre-II R. Complete 9/16. MCAT 511, uGPA 2.71, Georgetown SMP GPA 3.9.
Very surprised.

Nice! When were the earliest interview times? I feel like this school has already sent out so many IIs

The earliest was December 2nd I believe! I think they're still rolling out some more interviews since there were so many slots open for December and January!

Georgetown has a reputation for highly valuing service and clinical hours.

I’m curious to hear from those who’ve received interviews or acceptances, about the extent of your nonclinical volunteering and clinical experiences.

Thanks and good fortune to all.

I've had over 1000 hours of clinical experience and about 500 hours of volunteer work total.

Based on my experience, my take was that they really care and value social justice and efforts by applicants that contributed to that cause.
