2024-2025 George Washington

[sciencerules135]

On hold! Submitted 8/2. This thread is giving conflicting opinions on what that means, so I'm just gonna take it as an R and move on (maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised)

I also think it’s a soft R and for now we just wait unless proved otherwise

On hold for re-review today 7/16 completed. I’m actually surprised I was expecting an R but hey! I’ll take it!

Same boat as you... was fully expecting the R but at least it's something!

 

[averagepremed0101]

Just got put on hold here also. Checked earlier and the message just came up now 🫡

 

[The Deep]

I just submitted my secondary :/ since they granted me a fee waiver, hopefully I'm not too late to the sauce lol!

Americorps?

 

[Calypsoo]

Americorps?

Oh nope! I'm Canadian, but I explained my case and they accepted it

 

[thomas112]

Still complete, submitted 7/24

Happy for you! This school seems to genuinely care about their students and the community they serve.

They really do, I was pleasantly surprised!

I was like might as well try because after my primaries and all other expenses, 140 usd is pretty hard for me right now with a part-time job.

I have read through prior years and the hold here is not considered a soft R. So we are still in the running. They did give out R's pre ii once a month starting late august last year. So we may know more very soon!

 

[lumya]

Holds = okay

I was on hold for 6+ months and I’m finishing up my fourth year. Not that it doesn’t suck to be put on hold but it really is too early to tell one way or the other.

 

[medbeyzee]

Placed on hold today, was complete 7/18. Was hoping the long wait would lead to an II, especially since it feels like the perfect mission fit. Hopefully hold isn't truly a soft R!!

[TheQuibblerClinician]

I submitted 7/28 and i also have heard nothing not even a hold... does that mean a rejection or???

Doesn't mean anything yet, as people have mentioned in this thread, people from last year got Rs and IIs from holds and no-holds. So it means nothing at this point. Most likely no one's looked at your app yet haha

[brainrobot294444]

On hold as of this morning, complete 8/1

 

[ger1atric]

Just got the message: "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." which I'm guessing is an interview invite! Complete 8/3!

Did you get an email or did you have to check the portal to find out?

I had to check the portal. I haven't received an email yet.

 

[berry_tart]

[meddyteddy]

*confused in American*

I will die on the hill that the month/day/year format makes no sense

 

[meddyteddy]

Does anyone know for sure if GWU still superscores the MCAT? I've seen discussions about it on Reddit, but I can't find any confirmation on their website.

 

[NocturnalSir3n]

Agreed day/month/year makes way more sense

No. It’s august, submit your secondary before Labor Day and you are more than fine

 

[spookyszn]

im 95% sure they said they do in an admissions info session that was held a few months ago (u could prob find the recording online)

 

[jasonbourne125]

Was just placed on hold for re-review after being complete on 7/15.

 

[_m31_]

On hold as of today. Submitted 7/21.

 

[calcuttaho]

[berry_tart]

Still complete, 7/23, hmm.

There’s no point in over-analyzing. We know that this school does not review applications in order, and that hold =/= rejection. I literally just think that hold means that they read it and didn’t give out an interview. If it doesn’t say something, that probably just means they didn’t read your application yet. No point in stressing over it.

 

[OutdoorGirlMD]

Same here. I think that’s it

wait so to confirm did you get an email? I didn't get an email confirming my submission like with other schools but it does say "your file is now complete"

 

[averagepremed0101]

I didn’t get an email, just the status in my portal. I eventually got put on hold so I was complete without getting an email saying so. The portal will update itself but if it says you’re complete, that’s it

 

[premedgal01]

what does it say when ur on hold just curious

 

[averagepremed0101]

what does it say when ur on hold just curious

“Your application to The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences is complete and has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee. To date, no final decision has been made and the Admissions Committee has placed your application on hold for re-review at a later date. Files are re-reviewed by the committee periodically and there is no set schedule for decisions. We do interview from August through March. Please feel free to update your file during this time using the GW Admissions Portal. If we require any further documentation or if your status changes, we will contact you immediately. We do sincerely appreciate your interest in our program. Thank you for your patience.”
