Just got placed on hold, submitted the application 7/12

 

[rainbow1234$$]

There’s no way all of these holds are rejections right?

 

[coin22]

no way to know for sure but GW gets a TON of apps and therefore has a ton of Rs

 

[ACKjp]

Considering they only send ~800 interviews and receive 15,000+ apps, there will be a lot of Rs

Most are. But unlike other schools where ~99% of holds are R's, it's rumored that GW's is more likely to give II's after holds.

Guessing there's no point reaching out if our portal still says "complete" and submitted on 7/17?

 

[premed2001]

Complete since 7/11 and I’m beginning to think it’s not a good thing🙁

same here- either maybe skipped us or just don't care enough to send an R 😭

The very first interview invitations went out less than 2 weeks ago, so "no news" means you are still eligible for a future interview.
As you can see from the last few pages on here, they have been sending out some tough news to some they have decided not to interview.

Checked my portal this morning to find “Your file has been reviewed and you will receive a formal invitation by email about how to schedule a virtual interview. Until the time the formal invitation is sent, there is nothing additional you must do.”

Just curious how long it has taken people to receive email invites following portal change?

Is hold basically Soft R for a school like GW with so many apps? I know it was mentioned before but lost in all these pages 😩

if you read the prior pages you will see they are not hesitant to reject some, so a hold is not a R

It's essentially a waitlisted II, imo 🙂

Also got put on a hold no notification so I don't know when that happened.

I think there's nothing that makes them think, "oh we really want this person they're exactly what we need" so they're still shopping around but think we have potential to be a part of the class. They have a huge application volume so I'm thinking it's more like a screen for massive green and red flags.

changed to hold 9/26 checked yesterday and app was still "under review"

 

[premadbaddie]

Has anyone who was complete in August had a status change (hold, R, or II)?

 

[StressedNon-Trad]

Has anyone who was complete in August had a status change (hold, R, or II)?

I submitted my secondary before my primary was verified. But I submitted secondary on 7/16 but my primary was verified 8/3. I was put on hold 8/24.

Looks like there are plenty of holds reported here from people who submitted in August. I submitted 7/31 but still on complete

 

[futuresurg613]

Has anyone gotten an R for GW?

 

[purdey]

Has anyone gotten an R for GW?

Yup just look back a couple of pages in the thread

 

[alywall]

+1 hold today, complete 7/16.

 

[thefirerisen]

any advice for interviewing here? tips on how to prepare and what they're looking for since their post II acceptance rate is so low.

sdn website for gw is pretty accurate. I am unsure what they are looking for

[ClashRoyaleKing]

The R wave did NOT get me. Although, the II also has not hit me...

 

[123medapp2024]

Complete 7/11, still on application complete- no hold, r, or ii

 

[aan_23]

is #3 an optional question / drop down question? I haven't received the secondary yet so I am pre-writing it

 

[drak1999]

Complete 7/11, still on application complete- no hold, r, or ii

Similar complete date, and still on application complete as well. Idk what to make of this. Should we be contacting the school?

They are just starting interviews so too early to worry or contact them

 

[thefirerisen]

I'm wondering how the post II A% plays into the timeline - if anyone has any insights on this, it'd be appreciated. I'm assuming if you have an earlier interview, you have a higher chance of being accepted into GW?
