They must, there's no way we can keep checking the portal everyday, but I guess we're all neurotic enough to do it lol

On a side note it seems like they superscore MCAT
Yes they do

On this note, MSAR 75th percentile MCAT score is a 514. Do you guys think that's the superscored version or raw scores?
I always assumed MSAR just shows latest MCAT
Still no IIs? Just pre-II holds going around?
I submitted like an hour after it opened on 7/11 and mine still just says complete
That’s where I’m at too

Did anyone who applied here also get a fee waiver? We didn't have to enter any number we just had to click one of the fee waiver boxes right?
That’s what I did! I haven’t been contacted further about it

has anyone gotten an interview invite or everyone is just on hold or complete? was put on hold myself
Nobody on this thread has gotten an interview invite yet that I've seen, but sdn represents a fairly small percent of the total applicants so it doesn't necessarily mean they haven't starting sending them out yet. Ik historically people selected for interviews got a message in their portal saying they would receive an email in the coming days to schedule one, but who knows if they'll do that this year. I've been complete since 7/12 with no change in status yet

Based on last year's thread interviews should be going out soon, presumably within the next week or so.

Changed to what?
In the same boat. I asked this a little bit ago and people have said both pretty neutral at this point. You can go straight from complete to II. Hoping that’s what’s gonna happen for us🙂
seems like this year is a bit delayed, no?

Yeah looks like it. First II's went out around the end of July last year and the cycle started around a week earlier, so my guess is next week.
for this one are people doing like bullets/list where its like "job hrs/days per week etc"
or like more essay-y? do I have to describe the job or can I just say I work as job title at organization full time, I volunteer at the hospital, I shadow, etc
I think 750 characters (especially without spaces) is enough to actually briefly describe the activities, so that's what I did. Listing seemed too little given the character count limit
Same, I just saw the re-reviewed message as well. Has anyone gotten an interview invite here yet?
What does it say now??

still just complete
Hey everyone! I have been trying to research if GWU has a regional preference. I live an hour away but in VA. Also my mcat is above their 90th percentile. Is that grounds for yield protection. My ECs are not that impressive so I hope I do not get yield protected. I really love the program
I wouldn't say GW has a regional preference because it's private but idk

If you look at the stats, DC residents have higher interview rates. But apart from that they don’t have a regional preference. In terms of yield protection, unless you have like a 521/522+ I wouldn’t worry
Are they still sending out holds without IIs ?
Wondering the same, I’m still complete and submitted first day, 7/11
SDN is a minority of total applicants but it’s a high stat and highly driven minority so I’m guessing no IIs have been sent yet and if some have likely very few. The cycle has been moving slower than normal for every school so far
Already got a secondary from them despite my primary not yet being verified. Is there any benefit in submitting the secondary early in my case or should I just wait until verification of my primary is complete? Just making sure because it'll be over the usual 14-day guideline if I do wait.

I've heard this a few times that SDN represents high stat / highly driven candidates, just wondering how factual this is / what it's based in?
Probably anecdotal, but it makes sense, that people who are the most invested, emotionally, and neurotic, are more likely to be active in these types of forums.

Is the hold process normal from last year too? If everyone is getting a hold instead of IIs it might be due to the Supreme Court decision

What Supreme Court decision?
They just haven’t started IIs yet… that’s all it is
I think it's more likely that they want to get an overview of this year's pool of applicants before they start selecting people for interviews.
