me too! guess they really want that $100 from each of us.
I've been complete since 8/26. I asked about my file and they just sent me a generic email about how the review process can take a while. I'm going to be in DC next week, and flying there from Cali isn't cheap. If only they gave me an interview.

If you book a flight on Southwest from Oakland to BWI at least a month in advance, you should be able to fly round trip for under $250. JetBlue also has some great Crosscountry flights from time to time, and they can fly you into DC itself, not just Baltimore. Happy hunting!

I interviewed at GW about a week ago; you're right, they took forever to tell me that my application was complete, but after that, I heard about my interview pretty quick, maybe around 3 or so weeks? I was very impressed by GW and the students I met. For the person who was looking for something to write about "why GW?" you could write about their early patient contact in practice of medicine course, the standardized patients, the clincal skills ceter, and so on--it's all explained on the website, and GW seems to really pride itself in this area.

"Any suggestions why George Washington is a good school (for the secondary)."
I dont think u guys have to worry...when I went there to interview it seemed that they were gonna interview masses of people this year and November is far from over for them.
Anyways good things about GW is they have a really high tech campus (esp their histo lab.) They also give a lot of opportunities if you want to be politically active. Even though you're gonna be studying medicine just Being in D.C., they said you'll have a chance to see foreign diplomats, state politicans etc. Integrative curriculum doin some clinical experiences even into your 1st year with some state of the art patient exam rooms. Supposedly Georgetown students come over to use their facilites. .Yea..so other than just having to overcome the astronomical tuition, it's not a bad school at all. Its just a coupla blocks away from the monuments and white house and their metro system can get u to any of the surrounding areas pretty easily.

i'll repeat here what i said in one of the other threads-
i completed my secondary september sometime (cant remember when) and got the "your application is complete" postcard 1-2 weeks later
then last week sometime i got another postcard that said basically the same thing, your app is under review, and then two days after that i got an interview there for mid-december! so i can't comment on the way they send secondaries or postcards out, but they are interviewing, and it could happen anytime...
