Would it be a negative if I think my most meaningful community service activity was one that I experienced in high school? I have others from college but they were not as meaningful.

Thanks, they are on top of it then ,looks like many people are in that status .Submitted on Monday. No email.
Yeah, scrolled through last year's thread and a lot of people who got interviews were on hold first (some got an interview like a week after). Guess I'll just hope for the best and stay optimistic.Thanks, they are on top of it then ,looks like many people are in that status .
Good Luck !
I have that same message. Hopefully it does lead to an II!LizzyM ~ 70. Submitted first day after opening. Checked last year's thread. It seems that most everyone who got an II previously had this status as well
Wow I guess I can't expect a II if I have a LizzyM 69.+1. LizzyM 72.

Oh good to know. I submitted 7/1 also so it may take awhile.I have this status as well. FYI It is not emailed to you, it's only on the application portal.
Anyone been rejected yet?
Go with the secondary! That way it is not portrayed as your laziness!This may be dumb and obvious.. But should I wait for my letters (just my committee letter really since my interview was yesterday) to be received on AMCAS or just go ahead with the secondary?

Regarding: What is your most meaningful clinical experience, involving direct patient contact?"
I am having difficulty choosing between writing about being a scribe or about being a caregiver. (I write about being a scribe in one of the other essays, not sure if it would be overkill)
For the past 3 years I have scribed in a ED in Inglewood which serves a diverse population, including the socioeconomically disadvantaged. This has allowed me " face-to-face experience with the sick and/or injured in their homes or in a clinical setting, and [familiarity] with the role of the physician in the care of the patient and within the health care team." It has been an invaluable experience, as other authors above explained.
On the other hand, I have also been a caregiver for my disabled mother for the past 2.5 years. This, of course, has personal meaning, and more direct contact, but I am unsure whether it is an appropriate answer to the question.
Does anyone have advice on this matter?
Wow I guess I can't expect a II if I have a LizzyM 69.
I received the same msg with a LizzyM 67. Maybe they wait and send out a wave of rejections later or silently reject?I have this status as well. FYI It is not emailed to you, it's only on the application portal.

Did you get accepted in regular list or were you wait listed ?Go with the scribing experience. I don't mean to minimize the significance of caring for a disabled parent, but they're your parent, not your patient--so it doesn't answer the question.
I received an II last year with a LizzyM of barely 68.
Did you get accepted in regular list or were you wait listed ?
Oh really wow, so am assuming that you were accepted here.I was accepted off the WL at two other schools, not this one, though.
GW seems to waitlist almost everyone they interview! (As opposed to rejecting them.)
Oh really wow, so am assuming that you were accepted here.
Got this status too... But my LizzyM is more like a 64."Your application to The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences is complete and has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

Oh ok, but you are on your way to becoming a doctor!Oh no haha, sorry, I wasn't accepted here--just waitlisted.
