Congrats everyone! Current MS3 if people have questions. I’m kinda bad at responding in a timely manner currently but I’ll try to get back to people as soon as I can.

Can we PM you?

 

[lumya]

Sure

Accepted yesterday! Interviewed 9/12. Am not sure how we know if we are going to Baltimore or not for the last two years. It doesn't say anything in the documents I don't think?

my acceptance notice mentioned that I was accepted to the Regional Medical Campus. it’s right above the signature line.

 

[cantwaittodeletethis]

did anyone receive acceptance notices for the main campus? im only seeing acceptances to the regional campus on this thread

Same. Would there be any interest in forming a GroupMe for the admitted students?

[ayoooooosauce]

[CamilleM]

Another dumb question but I am paranoid- the thing we sign, the "signed Acceptance Notice" that is due Nov 9th just acknowledges the acceptance so they can run a background check and tell you the rules etc, right? It is not an agreement to go there.

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

OOS hold complete 8/3 and LM 77 with strong family ties to the school. Good luck everyone!

 

[hopefulpremed1923]

[Drizzle98]

Still sitting on complete (waiting for review) since around mid-august (8/11ish). Seems to match up with what everyone else is saying, but just wanted to provide another data point.

I submitted in early October and was put on hold like a week later. Idk if there's any rhyme or reason to how they review

 

[theRizzDr]

yep, I heard nothing yet. OOS submitted 7/24

 

[RelocatedHumanity]

Did anyone's main campus acceptance packet notate that on the documents anywhere? (Assuming if it didn't say regional I'm A-OK since I selected main on my secondary)

yes! it says something at the end about "this is for the main campus (foggy bottom) only"

 

[medfun101]

Hold today, been complete since 7/28

What is GW looking for in the students? Askign because there are SOO many holds (im one of them) and Rs

GW receives 15,000+ applications each year so there’s a lot of holds and Rs. Students aren’t involved in the application decision making process so I don’t have insight on what they’re looking for. I’d say the personalities and interests of each class varies. Overall, most people seem to do research and have interests in clinical public health.

Alternate: Interview 9/19. Disappointed but alas we move forth. When are people sending in updated letters of interest?

 

[deleted1161377]

Put on hold today. Complete 8/9, LM72. :/

How likely is GW to pull you off the hold list?

 

[stressball90]

Alternate: interviewed 10/5 - does anyone know the likelihood of being pulled from alternate pool?

 

[chicago_wind_98]

oos secondary completed 7/31 and i've heard nothing from this school.. no hold or R. should i reach out to see what's going on?

 

[lumya]

How likely is GW to pull you off the hold list?

No clue at all. My year they did interview into the spring and I was a hold who got a II during late winter.

 

[flowbro02]

absolute silence since my interview 9/15. it was an early interview, which unnerves me. Is it a good idea to send an update now?

 

[LeftElbow]

Been on hold since mid-septermber. Is this normal? How long is the Hold->decision time usually?

 

[lychee.jelly.]

Placed on hold today
Complete 8/15

 

[theRizzDr]

submitted July 24. heard absolutely nothing so far. just wanted to add another datapoint

Last year a good amount of people got accepted from it, but they also put a ton of people on it so it's hard to know. I'm sorry I know the waiting is hard!

Appeal to school-specific thread: GWUSOM recommended PREview for the 2023-2024 cycle.

Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.

HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.

Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.

Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.

Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.

Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!

Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!

Me, interviewed last week. Of all my schools, only GW needed preview and I didn't have the money for another thing.

Same, took Casper and didn’t want to take another obvious money grab test so I applied without Preview but still received an II
