Hi everyone,
I've a bit of an issue. I was recently accepted to my state school, which I'm really happy with, but I'm also on the waitlist at GW. When I interviewed there I really thought the place had a good vibe and I think DC would be awesome to live in. However, all this stuff going on with with the LCME putting them on probation has made me a little wary. I wonder how people feel this status will affect both current and entering students with reference to their reputation and finding good residencies. In other words, would the fact that GW, who has traditionally been a good school in the past, is now on probation negatively impact the future of their students?

Any sort of advice/input is welcome.
 
GW isn't such a good school that it justifies spending so much more money to attend over your state school, unless you have a compelling reason to do so.

That being said, if you do go to GW you should be fine, as long as the administration is actively addressing the LCME's concerns, which I'm sure they are.

There was a pretty extensive thread about a year ago on this same topic. Coming to think of it, i think the title was the same too. I would do a quick search for that thread.

Well, the '09 match seemed to go pretty well. Someone already posted a form of it in the match thread, but here it is with the programs matched with the specialties.

For what it's worth, I don't think GW is any more or less of a "good school" now because of the probation status. It's still the same school. They just need to fix these things that the LCME has taken issue with, which they are doing.
