oof, did you know if it was due to academic issue or life happen and people dropped out?
Girl who you tellin... no time for that! I was expecting to start by the next year if everything went well.Hmmm... I’m getting too old for gap years at this point. At this rate I won’t be able to start a family until I’m at least 34![]()
Makes sense now.. thanks for clarifyingI think I'm confusing some of you guys lol so I want to take a minute to explain. The GEMS program is still 1 year, from July to May. You apply to Georgetown early on in the program, interview, and find out sometime in June if you got in. You go to Georgetown, do the preclinical for 18 months, take step 1, and go into clinicals. So you're getting extra time in clinicals.
Is this the rate of those who went from the GEMS program into the medical school?Yeah, no I realized I was mixing everyone up lol. I also wanted to let you know that the graduation rate from Georgetown dropped to 89%, instead of the 97%.
No just the graduation rate for the GEMS students who went into Georgetown.Is this the rate of those who went from the GEMS program into the medical school?
Dis they say the success rate of those who did the Gems program and got into the medical class?No just the graduation rate for the GEMS students who went into Georgetown.
Nope. Haven’t heard anything. I feel like May 7th should be sent by this week latest, to give those to prepare and make proper arrangements.Has anyone gotten a May 7th invite yet?
Thanks for sharing! That helps just to get an idea on what they were going for.MCAT:494
sgpa: 2.71
ugpa: 3.1
Oh okay thanks for sharing. So they have already started sending out invites for the second interview.I received the call on April 9th for an interview on May 6th. Stats very similar to @Pete123

Yes the interview date is on May 6th. It says it on the website.May 6th? I’m so confused lol
What was the area code from the call?I received the call on April 9th for an interview on May 6th. Stats very similar to @Pete123
Still no word for May 6th? Oh man. I’m starting to get worried now.
Haha I guess he started calling everyone at the same time. Did you get the callers name ?Just got the call!! Interview invite for May 6th
Congrats!Was it also a unknown caller ID? And did he call around 8pm?Just got the call!! Interview invite for May 6th
Did they also send a email to you telling you the itinerary for the day? I wonder if someone missed there call if they would still email the person letting them know about the invite.He introduced himself as the director. I was freaking out but I think it’s Taylor ?
Congrats!Was it also a unknown caller ID? And did he call around 8pm?
A little scared i got a missed call from an unknown caller a couples of days ago, before i knew that’s how some of y’all got y’all invite. But they didn’t leave a voicemail or anything or called back. I hope it wasn’t GEMS and i missed the opportunity.
Okay, that would make sense. ThanksFrom what I read they keep trying to contact you via phone and eventually email you with an invite so don’t worry! Also, check your spam !
On the later side, I believe.did you also submit your application on the later side or early on?
I don’t think it’s like a definite guarantee , i think those who do well in the GEMS program are “ highly” considered for matriculation into Georgetown’s next medical class. I think they said they had 85% rate of those in GEMS matriculates into the medical school, either at their school or another.So I don't understand. If accepted are we guaranteed admission to the medical school. How come so many of their students are matriculated to their MD program.
No invite yet. I’m thinking if they haven’t called by now then i probably wasn’t chosen for an invite. And my application was marked complete 3/28. So in the later side.have you heard back yet? and when was your application complete? the website says they will call for interviews until tomorrow. fingers crossed lol.
Did anyone get the email yet about interview details/location?
Hey email them and ask if you can store belongings. Dean Taylor will let you store it in his office.
Congrats on acceptance.Can't wait to meet you guys
Anyone has an idea of what they will do for housing options in Washington lol? Im lost
