Yeah same...first set of interviews this upcoming Monday so I'm getting a wee bit nervous
 
Youre not the only one. I was telling another applicant one of my professors completely disregarded instructions when submitting my recommendation. Im not holding my breath on this one. Your girl is straight up tired.
 
Got an email with some updates. First interview dates for selected will be the 25th-26th. Fingers crossed !
 
I feel you on the tiredness though, first AMCAS and now this...I need a long nap...or vacation....or both

I received an interview invite last night. I was literally shaking. I couldn't believe it.

No, not yet. I need to get on that ASAP. I wonder what their fafsa code is. I need to dig around and find out.
 
People who have gotten interviews, what day were you complete if you don't mind me asking?
 
I was complete 4/4, I thought all interviews were given out all on the same day? So if we haven't gotten one we're out of the running? :(

Not at all, I was looking at a few threads from previous years and I think that interviews were given out randomly.
 
Hey everyone! I got an interview! Hoping to connect with anyone interviewing and maybe see if anyone has heard anything about the interview process. Really excited!
 
Hi congrats on your interview! When were you complete and when did they contact you?
 
Thank you! I was marked complete 4/13 and received the email yesterday morning
 
has anyone received their interview itinerary yet? they said we'd get them by 5 pm today and I still haven't heard back
 
Same, I emailed and asked. I haven't received one yet !!

Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out to us!

How was your experience in the program? Did you feel well prepared to transition to med school?
If you wouldn't mind answering, how many of you ended up continuing into Georgetown Med?

GEMS is a good program for anyone who struggles with learning and studying effectively. That said, I really got to learn about myself, my strengths, weaknesses and what works/what doesn't. and I think I had to figure this out fast because the nature of the program is pretty intense and you feel like you're at the edge all the time. There isn't that many postbacc programs like this where the faculty is very involved in your learning (for example, other programs typically just throws lectures and exams at you). so i felt that their close surveillance and observation played a huge part in navigating through rigorous medical school curriculum. so when i started med school, I had already figured out how I absorb lecture concepts/material best so it didn't really take long time of soul searching to find the best learning method for me--which is what most traditional med students struggle with when they start school.

12 students including myself made it and there are other people who got into different MD schools.

Hi! Has anyone who is interviewing on Monday received their itinerary yet? Just making sure it wasn't a mistake on my end or something

Still haven’t received mine either. Anyone who interviewed last Monday, when did they end up sending the itineraries?

Idk if this thread is still active but as a GEMS student how are you able to financially support yourself? My family is low income and I’m first gen so they really won’t understand why I’m not paying for a degree :/ Also it seems like an intensive enough program that you can’t work full time. I’m thinking about applying for this next yr but I’m not sure if it’s worth it for the $
