is anyone having difficulty scheduling the interview? I don't have an Interview tab on my portal...
 
Are they going strictly in order of completion date? I was complete 7/11 and now I'm worried

I was thinking about the same before I got my II yesterday. I completed 7/8. Be patient, hope you get yours soon!
 
Don’t stress if you feel like they passed your submission date. On last year’s thread they sent out a ton of IIs on 8/11 including people who submitted on 7/18, 7/11, and 7/2. Posted in that order. Looks like this year has been roughly in order so far but who knows.

Can anyone familiar with Georgetown / Washington DC elaborate on the patient population the hospitals serve? I know veterans health seems big with all the military hospitals but looking particularly for any other communities present there

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/DC/PST045222 Lots of ethnic diversity, and many historically African American neighborhoods and growing LGBTQ+ population.
 
hi! any current georgetown students on here that might be willing to talk to me? feeling super stressed since this school is my first II but one of my top choices!
 
Do you guys think there is a difference in interview invites between submitting end of July/August vs Beginning of July? I was looking at last years thread and it seemed like the interview invites slowed down but it could also be that people weren't posting it as much.
 
I have a theory that they send II sooner for people with really strong LM stats, and then go through the remainder using more of a holistic approach taking more into account the written material (activities, PS, etc.), which take longer to review.

OOS II!! LM 74, complete 7/12

It’s finally setting in that the process is actually happening omg I genuinely believed the first one was a fluke. Is imposter syndrome also setting in? Maybe

For question #3, are you guys trying to make it relevant to COVID-19 or keeping it more specific to their values and general health disparities? I have an essay idea for it but I'm finding difficulty connecting it directly to exacerbated pandemic issues.
more specific. I'm having trouble keeping in character count to connect to exacerbated pandemic issues. The prompt also asks about life experiences so I interpreted that as experiences beyond my W/A but idk if that's right
 
For the additional information prompt, I want to emphasize the areas of improvement as a rea-applicant. Is this appropriate to include ?
 
This application cycle has been lagging ;-/

No. Submitted is when you hit submit and send in your secondary application. Complete is when the school has received all required materials.
interesting- that means not every school has an "under review" option as a status before sending out interviews?
 
Any current GU med students in this thread? I have some questions about the school and would love to chat before I interview
