Does anyone know if this question is referring to Georgetown enrollment specifically? "Are you/will you be enrolled in any program during the 2023-2024 academic year?"

The reason I ask is because, if I say "yes" (since I'm going to be a senior in college this upcoming year), the options are "Georgetown Experimental Medical Studies," "Special Masters Program in Physiology", and "Other."

Should I pick "other" and type where I go for undergrad? Or should I answer "no" to the question?

"other" and list your college I may be wrong here according to posters below.
Is question 1 different from question 2 on your secondary? read the instructions, I guess..

Is anyone else having the SSN section glitch out on them? The bar is grey and hitting the reset button doesn't work. I can't complete this page because of it :/

I emailed admissions. They responded saying they are aware of this issue and are actively working on it.

Just making sure, is the bar supposed to turn grey after entering in your SSN and saving and moving on?
 
Are you just submitting and then doing the financial aid portion later?
 
Hello all, I applied to Georgetown before realizing the 125 cutoff for subsections. I scored a 124 in my CARS section (508-129/124/128/127) and received a secondary application invite earlier today. Is it worthwhile to complete the secondary or will this just be a donation because of my low CARS score. Thank you for the help.
 
Is prompt 3 essentially a diversity essay? or using a diveristy essay to then talk about georgetown's mission?
 
Do we have to complete the FAFSA to be considered for an interview?

Pretty sure they just want applicants to be aware of the deadline. If I get an ii I'm going to make sure I have it done though

I agree with this; their financial aid department isn't gong to process FAFSA's from all the applicants, only those who are likely to attend (who have offers of admission).

But, don't forget to ever fill it out and then ask a school "do I get any scholarship?"
To be considered for scholarships they usually want the FAFSA on file. Yes, even for merit scholarship consideration.
 
anyone else OOS not received a secondary yet? don't know if I should be worried!

I used it to talk about my reflections from being a reapplicant and also plans for next year
 
If I was a semi-successful applicant in a previous cycle, is it ok if I reuse essays with some minor modifications? I am asking as they do explicitly state that "Application materials for applicants who are not accepted are not retained for future applications. Applicants who applied in previous years and who wish to use the same credentials must have them resubmitted" which makes me think that they won't be comparing my prior application as they won't even have it?

do you think I could use it for a diversity spiel or maybe talk a little behind why I chose my double major? or is that rlly not what they're looking for

There's already an essay that addresses diversity so I wouldn't use it for that personally, but if why you chose to double major is important to you then that's a good topic! I think they're just asking about any information we want to share/explain that we couldn't include in other parts of our app

The "personal info" page is marked as incomplete. I do not have extra info to share for the last question on that page, but I cannot submit while leaving it blank? Is anyone else having this issue?

Is it worth applying here with a 124 CARS? I feel like I fit their mission, but I'd rather not spend $130 on their secondary if my application will immediately get set aside.

If you have a ton of clinical and volunteering throw it in(like >3000, need something to stand out over the CARS).

Same position as you with a 124. I saw on older threads that someone called admissions and it just makes you uncompetitive in that portion of the application, still have plenty of other places to shine.

Anyone having trouble paying? Every time I hit submit payment it logs me out
 
For those who received II, did your status on the portal say "under review" or was it just "your application is ready"?

I want to add Georgetown to the list of medical schools that I'm applying to, because I recently looked into the school and I feel like my application really aligns with their mission. Do you guys think it's too late in the cycle to submit my application here? LM 78

I submitted an application a couple of days ago and received the secondary two days later, I feel like it's worth a shot

In the 'Background Information' section is the short answer prompt 1000 characters with spaces or without?
