Hi there,
I am married with kids, rooted in the DC area BIG TIME, and just got my "waitlist" letter from GWU (already rejected from Georgetown). I drew the short straw on interview day - the guy looked just like the Grinch - and we didn't click (I'm pretty outgoing and am a very strong interview, but this guy had me off balance the entire time).
Anyway, otherwise my credentials are pretty good - post-bacc 3.98 (but 3.0 early undergrad) and very strong MCAT scores. I even had stellar references from 3 GWU professors (I did my post-bacc there) and 1 GWUH floor administrator. And I already live in DC... so I am fairly sure the interview was a bust, although I could be wrong.
Maybe I'm in a state of denial, but what are you guys doing to be pro-active about being waitlisted. When is the best time to send letters of interest, and what about letters of support? My family has too much at stake for me to just roll-over and wait, and I really do believe, for many reasons, that GWU and I are a mutually good fit.
What do you guys think?
