Hi everyone, I interviewed on 08/23 and was placed on WL on 10/17, submitted letter of interest on 10/18, should I continue waiting or submit another letter?
I say shoot for another letter -- it might seem redundant but I hear that they love it. My friend submitted 6 different LOInterests and updates after being placed on the WL in November and ultimately got in so it matters!

I still see the edit button too and didn't get any confirmation that it went through besides the page saying "Note: This page is completed." Did you get a confirmation email or anything? Also nervous it's not going through!
I didn't receive a confirmation email or anything -- I'm in the same boat as you, with the "This page is completed". Not sure what else we could have done though so I'm unsure.
I just reached out to the admissions office through email and they let me know that they can see our updates!

I can't seem to get return lines to appear in the waitlist updates text box. I see them as I'm editing my text, but they disappear when I submit the entry. Any solutions?
Unfortunately not 🙁, they wont care tho

is it recommended to send in update letters while waiting to get results from an interview? Even if I don't have big updates, is it still useful to show my interest by sending an update?

I believe GTown is big on updates / letter of interests and appreciates them so I'd say go for it

When were you waitlisted?
WL back in early October so it took some time to hear back for sure

early December interview and still waiting :/
when did you interview?
Hi! I am building a school list and looking for current M3/M4's that can speak a little bit about Georgetown!
Specifically, I have the following questions (please feel free to answer as many as you have time for, I know it is a lot!):
- Does Georgetown have a home hospital?
- What is your preclinical grading system?
- How are students ranked?
- How often did you have exams during your preclinical years?
- Are these exams based more on lecture/in-house or NBME material?
- What are the attendance expectations (for lecture, PBL, etc)?
- What happens if you fail an exam (is it marked on your transcript)?
- What is your clinical grading system?
- What % of students earn honors per rotation (if applicable)?
- Who chooses which order your rotations are in (students, lottery, other)?
- If you could describe the environment during your rotations in one word, what would it be?
- How much time do you have for electives?
- Do you have AOA at Georgetown?
Thanks so much in advance for answering! I appreciate you making time for this 🙂

Is it safe to say that expect only R's or WL from this point on?
Congratulations! Did you get the A by email or phone call?
How long was the call? Is it always a call or could it be email?
A! Just got the call, this week has been a rollercoaster

OOS A!
I think everything this year is delayed due to FAFSA not releasing to schools until sometime this month, so who knows when actual award letters will be sent.

From my understanding, they only really give need-based aid. Could be wrong tho!

Ik it's super late to be responding to this, but AAMC has this document for public access to see waitlist data! https://students-residents.aamc.org/system/files/2023-11/MSAR_Waitlist_Procedures_11.29.23.pdf

hi! did anyone else's formatting get messed up when submitting a waitlist letter (paragraph breaks etc)? does anyone know how to get around it?

Yes. It is normal. Nothing you can do about it.
When did you send your letter? Do you think it matters how long you wait to send one

It was direct A.
I'm not sure if it matters how long you wait. I submitted mine early February once I had a something meaningful to write
Is it through email or call?
