For those who have been accepted - I recently checked MyAccess and the page updated with a "Financial Aid" tab. They may release aid packages soon; according to last year's thread they release packages around this time.
 
For anyone that knows, how does the Sarah Stewart scholarship work? If when received, does it cover all four years of tuition? And are you able to reapply your next year if you don’t get it as an ms1?

I interviewed early Dec. and still haven't heard anything. It's GUSOM's spring break this week so I highly doubt we will hear anything.

Same. I'm checking for posts on the daily. I did see from last year's posts that there are reserved slots for Georgetown SMP and SMP alumni. And I heard many decisions are released late April and May when students with multiple acceptances start committing to a single school.

As an SMP alum, the current SMP students all interview in March/early April. And then they usually hear back 4-6ish weeks after their interview. And while I know they generally accept a certain # of current and former SMP students each year, idk if that number is set in stone or how they determine that. But I'm sure decisions for the rest of applicants are at least somewhat influenced by how many SMPs/SMP alums they accept.

Congrats to her!! Now I’m nervous again tho lol 😂 thought nothing would come out due to jacksonfeeble’s point about spring break (which definitely made sense!)

the med school operates on a separate calendar from the undergrad students (and from other graduate programs). Thus, if that person is going by the undergrad calendar, the med school may not be on break right now?

I did check med school website and SOM is on break right now. However… admissions committee might not follow along with student breaks (but I have no idea!)

Got Waitlisted this morning. I submitted an LOI and an update letter better before the WL, and now on the WL portal I see options for letters and the previous place where I submitted my letters is closed and doesn't show anything. So, do I resubmit these in the waitlist section or are they still there but I just can't see them.

I was also waitlisted, and also noticed that previously-submitted updates/letters are no longer visible. I don't think it's necessary to resubmit anything you've already submitted; they likely based their WL decision on your app + whatever letters you had uploaded. Thus perhaps it can sort of be viewed of as a 'blank slate', where any and all further review of your application will be solely based on any additional updates/letters that you submit from this point. Idk that's just my theory.

Thoughts on how I sent a LOI the day before I received my WL decision?

Should I resubmit

Does anyone know if georgetown accepts additional LOR once you're on the WL? Probably not?

I dont think it would hurt! I didn't ask the admissions office directly, but I had an additional LoR get submitted while I was on the WL. Not sure how much impact it had, but I did get taken off the WL. I would check with admissions office!

For the Letters of Interest in the waitlist section do we have to keep the character count below 3000? It lets me write upto 3000 words, but it says 3000 characters.

I'm not sure, and I noticed that as well. I just wrote a letter that goes over all the main points of why I want to attend. It was about 3/4 of a page long and well under 3000 characters.
 
Has anyone gotten their financial aid package yet? The recent email sent by the office implies that we’re going to receive it before second look
 
So I see that Georgetown has pass/fail clerkships, it seems like they don't do high pass/ pass with honors/etc. Is that true? I think their website is outdated. Can any current students confirm?

I am not seeing anything, unless I am paying the full COA and they just haven't told me that yet rip

Any thoughts about waitlist movement? It looks like they took some people off in early April last year, but this year saw some March movement...
Click to expand...
We might see some movement early April as students starting making more decisions - but the big date is April 17. That's when students have to narrow down their choices to 3 schools, and I expect more movement then.

According to AAMC, May 1 may be another date as students have to narrow down their choices to 1.
 
For those who are waitlisted and submitted a letter, if it says 1/10 does that mean it's all done and submitted? Also, it says you can't edit, but there's totally an edit button.
