<p>So my app to GWU's med program was due dec first, n here's the deal
I submitted the main common app to it.
then i saw that gwu had its app on its website too, so i did that one, all 3 essays, n then their med program essay.
I didn't do the common app supplement because I didnt think it was necessary. it only had one essay and it was why gw, n i did the same essay for the app I got on the gw website. </p>
<p>I'm also pretty sure that there was a payment option on the gw website, but i can't remember and I don't see a payment confirmation email in my inbox. </p>
<p>When I checked my status page, it says my app is incomplete because I'm missing the common app supplement. So i'm like asdfsadfsdfsd. </p>
<p>It's already December 7th, i can't confirm that I payed, and I dont know if my app is seriously incomplete and I literally dont know what to do with myself. </p>
<p>Can anyone please help me out?</p>
<p>Call the admissions office asap and tell them what happened!!!!! I'm sure they've heard something like this before and can fix it. But don't sit there wondering!!!!!!!</p>
<p>call the admissions office</p>
<p>hey, i at first was also confused about that...i went onto their website, wondering why there were more/different essays than there were on the common app supplement...if you do the common app, you JUST do the essays that are required of you on the COMMON APP SUPPLEMENT...however, some people dont use the common app and fill out gwu's application on their website, which is what you found! in reality, that doesnt have MORE essays than the common app supplement because for the common app you are already required to write an essay that goes to all schools, so gwu is simply having you write the same amount of essays (2) if u were applying through their website...since you are applying to the med program thing, i'd assume there was also another essay u had to do...so, you should have really just done the common app supplement, but like the others have said, id call them to see if they can just use the essays u submitted through their website in place of the essays on the common app supplement!</p>
<p>i did the same thing...well kinda...i started gwu's application, filled out the forms with my name adress blah blahhhhh...then a little later i decided to use the commonapp...i finished and sent in the commonapp...however what happened was they thought i was doing the gwu app since they had recieved the basic background info from the gwu app and were expecting me to finish all the essays and eveything for the gwu app....i had to call them and explain to them my situation and told them to delete the gwu app from me and to take the common app....it took me 3 phone calls with 3 different people...they kept telling me that they fixed it but every time i called again to make sure, a didfferent person answered and told me nothing had been changed....</p>
<p>..so honestly i still think my application is messed up...they didnt help much</p>
<p>If I were you, I'd try to call my admissiions rep directly. If you just call admissions, the phone is answered by students working in the office who can't speak authoritatively & may not really have a good answer. I say this based on S's experience last year. Dealing with admissions was very frustrating.</p>
