I am cooked. +1 OOS R. fudge burger.
Do we think an ii hold rather than a straight R is a good thing here :'(
Anyone have any insights on GW releasing decisions this week?
I've heard with GW it's likely to get off the pre-II hold. Does anyone know how likely it is?

Impossible to know but it seems like they put everyone on the pre II hold then reject. If you have survived a few R waves, its a good sign!
Looks like decisions just came out just got first A!
"Your application to The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences is complete and has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee. To date, no final decision has been made and the Admissions Committee has placed your application on hold for re-review at a later date"

Yep, I submitted the secondary like literally last week and just got it. Not sure what it means, but from other forums, it looks like many people get it. Some get interviews, some don't, so I wouldn't look too much into it.
Anyone know what waitlist movement looks like?
Any tips for the GW interview?

Super chill, mine was literally 23 minutes, and it was just standard med school interview questions.

looks like 8 weeks. they used to say 4-6 weeks, but now the portal says within 8 and they send out in waves so who knows
Are they done with interview invites? Should I even send an update/LOI?

Can someone explain what the alternate pool means?

I think it's just a waitlist.
I didn't get an email but I just logged into my portal and saw a message about being an alternate and that a final decision has yet to be made. Does this mean waitlist?

does anyone know what the waitlist movement at gwu is like?

spoke to 8 M1s and they all said themselves + “many” of their peers were originally waitlisted so it’s certainly not a soft R

Anyone else having trouble finding GW on fafsa? I cannot find the E00197 code that they claim is associated with GW on the website. There are some other GW’s listed on the FASFA form but with different codes, does anyone know which code Im supposed to use to file?

I reached out to GW admissions and they said the financial aid office is aware of the problem and is working on solving it. You have the correct code.
Has anyone gotten info on how to confirm spot on waitlist? Their FAQs said we'd hear by the end of Feb. GW is my top choice, so I'm praying I didn't miss anything.
Anyone received their financial aid packages yet? And any notice of scholarships being sent out yet?
