Welp, rejected pre-II today. I was complete mid-August, LizzyM ~69. I had been on hold since early November. The rejection email included the following:

"We want to point out that this decision relates in part to the extreme competition for places in our class. The decision not to proceed further with your application was made on the basis of this careful review. We have done our best to be realistic and judicious in reaching our decisions. I hope that you will understand that this decision is a reflection of the extraordinary talent represented in our applicant pool and that many more excellent candidates are being denied this year than in the past."

I'm not sure if that was included in earlier rejections or not, but it actually made me feel a little bit better about being rejected.

Best of luck to those still in the running and if you decide to attend, enjoy the opportunity to live in DC!

Have an interview coming up! Super nervous since its my only invite.

For those of you who were interviewed, did you find that you were leading the direction of the interview since its closed file? Were there any ethical questions? Any extra tips?

Thanks in advance!

My student interviewer told me the only required questions where why gw and why medicine. So, after addressing those questions, I tried to steer the interviews towards topics I was comfortable with. Worked well as I avoided difficult ethical questions. Good luck!

Does anybody know in the past when people began getting acceptances from the waiting list? Usually not until April right?

Has anyone been given an II after an extensive hold?
 
Any II's recently? Or does anyone know when the interview cycle ends at GWU?
 
Rejected pre-II. I'm not surprised, I've been on hold this entire time. Good luck to everyone else! :luck:
 
Waiting for my Pre-II rejection………… I feel like they've forgotten about me….

+1 I don't know how I just survived that round of rejections. I have also been on hold most of this cycle. I sent a letter of interest a couple of days ago so maybe that delayed them from rejecting?
