Georgetown GEMS 2019-2020

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm actually not too sure why it happened, but I can probably try to ask one of the other interviewers if they found out.
 
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
Girl who you tellin... no time for that! I was expecting to start by the next year if everything went well.
 
I 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.
Makes sense now.. thanks for clarifying
 
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%.
Is this the rate of those who went from the GEMS program into the medical school?
 
We only know that its 83% for Georgetown, but they said that students have went to other schools
 
For those who did get an interview, would you guys mind sharing your stats? Just wondering the stats of the people they choose for the first interview date? Thanks
 
Actually I just double checked my application, my ugpa is 3.08.
 
If we haven’t heard back yet I assume our apps moved on to the after life lol we just donated to GTown
 
For those with an interview coming up, could you ask how many spots are available. I forgot to ask, and now I'm curious.
 
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.
 
He introduced himself as the director. I was freaking out but I think it’s Taylor ?
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.

From 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 !
 
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.

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.
 
From what we were told Gems sets a certain average you have to meet, and once you meet those requirements you're more likely to matriculate. There is also a certain average you have to meet for when you're taking classes with the medical students, but it's lower than the one Gems has. So just meet the Gems one overall.
 
have you heard back yet? and when was your application complete? the website says they will call for interviews until tomorrow. fingers crossed lol.
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.
 
April 22nd Interviewees-
Do you know if there’s a place to store our personal belongings during the interview ? I have to travel back immediately after the interview
 
Hey email them and ask if you can store belongings. Dean Taylor will let you store it in his office.
 
Anyone has an idea of what they will do for housing options in Washington lol? Im lost
 
Hey y'all! I'm trying to find female roommates and look for a place. Anyone interested? Excited about the coming year 🙂
