<p>why does everyone always think I'm a guy? anyways, yeah I'm probably going to the lunch. haha well with my garlic breath I'd just breath on you and knock you out just before your interview...</p>
<p>so how did everyone's interviews go?</p>
<p>it went pretty well. It was much more open-ended and informal than I thought it would be, at least comparing to another interview that I've had. The program seems awesome: I think the students said there was a 90% match with top three residency choices, and all the students were very grounded and easy going- as well they should be, with no MCAT and just a 3.3 GPA requirement. </p>
<p><em>Crossing fingers</em></p>
<p>how about you, rehan?</p>
<p>Edit: A mom of an applicant there told me that 600 people apply, and 60 are interviewed (which is also a stat that I've heard elsewhere on this board). There are about 20 people in the first year in the program, so I'm guessing that about 25-30 are admitted each year. So...a tentative 50% acceptance rate after interviews.</p>
<p>I heard from the secretary of the med. school admissions office that 63 got interviews and that 20-22 of us will get in, which is 1/3 of us!</p>
<p>those odds are not bad at all. I would be so excited if I got in. My interview went well, but Im not sure how it gauges with everyone else's. Is the interview the only determining factor at this point? When I went on the 14th, there were only 3 other students who got interviewed, and as a whole they didnt seem very social, but maybe they interviewed well.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when GW notifies the interviewed? I asked at the GW admissions office and they said around late March, but I'm not quite sure if that means next week, or the following week. I do remember them saying that decisions would not be finalized until all interviews are done and they can review all applicants basically against each other. So my second questions is: Have they finished the interviews? Thanks.</p>
<p>I interviewed on the last date which was February 28th. I think it's the last week of March we find out. Good luck!</p>
<p>Does that mean the very last week? Do you know how they inform us? Is it by email or regular mail?</p>

<p>How does GW's combined program compare with some of the other programs that have been discussed on this forum?</p>

<p>Well, it was not in today's mail - and I live about 25 miles from GW.</p>
<p>So, I wonder if it was sent out on Monday, like someone said it would be.</p>
<p>Got accepted into GW's 7 year BA/MD Program.</p>
<p>Thick envelope with this classy folder in which all the materials were included came in the mail today.</p>
<p>The letter indicated that there were 20 spaces in the program and "nearly 600 highly qualified applicants".</p>
<p>congrats! do you think you're gonna go?</p>
<p>Thanks, aster.</p>
<p>Not sure what I am going to do as yet. I have a couple of Ivies that I am waiting to hear from as well as Stanford. </p>
<p>I have been following these threads where most applicants to these programs see these combo programs as being a no-brainer for anyone who is set on becoming a doctor. I have no doubt that I want to be a doctor but if I got into one of the Ivies or Stanford, I am pretty sure that I would go that route and forgo GW. It is not merely a prestige issue - though there is a little of that - but has more to do with the entire academic experience that I feel I would get going to one of these schools.</p>
<p>This business about the MCAT being a major hurdle is one that I don't agree with. Most successful applicants to one of these combo programs have excellent academic credentials and a good track record when it comes to testing and there is no reason to think that everything would fall apart when it comes to the MCAT.</p>
<p>The only program that I applied to is GW because of its location and other factors. So I will wait to hear from the Ivies and Stanford before I make a final decision.</p>
<p>nice going man, do any of u know if gw waitlisted? cuz they waitlisted 10 years ago when my brother applied just curious if they still did that! thank you</p>
<p>Thanks, rishu87.</p>
<p>I am sure that GW does waitlist a few candidates since they are bound to have a few of the applicants decline the offers - not sure how many.</p>
<p>I found out a couple of hours that I got accepted by Duke - so I guess, it has been a good day for me.</p>
<p>Congrats, wouldb. Did anyone else hear from GW yet?</p>
<p>I am still waiting for my letter. The anticipation is killing me!</p>
<p>GWU BABY!!!!</p>
<p>After a day of getting rejected and waitlisted at numerous privates and ivies, this makes everything I endured yesterday all better. Only downside is they need a decision on the program so soon, 4/15. PSU/Jefferson or GWU? What are your thoughts?</p>
