Like many others this morning, pre-II R. LM 76, WARS 87, ORM. First R and no IIs yet, hurts a little.

I just wanna say to everyone who is getting Rs that I believe in you! This is a grueling process but y'all are working hard and I'm sure it will be recognized. <3 Many people don't get their 1st II until later in the cycle (even December!) and end up getting in. You got this!

did any of you get to see the name of your interviewer prior to your interview?
Nope! You meet them the time of your interview
I think October 15th?
Exactly what insight are you looking for? This is true, to a greater or lesser degree, everywhere, other than the relatively few schools, like Michigan, that are very stingy with IIs and then have very high post-II A rates.
Georgetown is a very popular school. They interview around 1,000 people and have a class of around 200. The numbers dictate that a lot of people interviewing will not be accepted. This is why the general rule of thumb is that you need at least 3 IIs to have a reasonable expectation of receiving at least one A.

They do. A lot of people get off the waitlist, this is a school where a LOI is highly valued.
Theyre looking for a school specific response, not a generalized response like you just gave. Georgetown waitlists many many applicants, but starts pulling off the waitlist pretty early on. They know the numbers, theyre asking about people that actually knows how it works.
Okay, but the school specific response is still that they interview around 1,000 people and only have 200 seats. The generalized response I gave seems to apply to Georgetown as much as to any other school.
Notwithstanding your saying that a lot of people get off the WL, the numbers show that many, many more do not. For the last reporting period, which certainly only got worse last cycle, and will again this cycle, 1,029 interviews generated 375 offers of admission, both initial As as well as off the WL, to fill 203 seats.
As I said, "the numbers dictate that a lot of people interviewing will not be accepted." This is true in general, and it is certainly true at Georgetown, specifically. I'm not sure what you are disputing, since Georgetown's 36% post-II A rate is far from spectacular, even after taking into account however many people are called off the WL. In fact, it's right in line with the general "interviews 3, a doctor you'll be" expression.

My interviewer told me not to stress if I get waitlisted bc Georgetown waitlists a lot of ppl to make themselves look better. He said a lot get in off the waitlist

has anyone who has interviewed sent update letters or LOIs? just trying to gauge if it's worth doing

I haven't. I figured I would wait for a decision before doing anything because if I get waitlisted later, at least I will have something to write about then. If I send an update now, I feel like I lose the novelty of my update later on if I need to send one in. Just my 2 cents tho

LM ~ 71, ORM! I was complete 9/17. I think I had a decent mission fit & hinted at ties to the region, not sure if that matters!
