PAFHMD Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Is Dr. wright done calling for the early acceptances from the 9/25 group? It sounds like a 1 day thing. Edited October 9, 2021 by PAFHMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how you approached tying together and portraying your diverse experiences over that timeline? I tried to layout my experiences in CASPA in detail and then mentioned certain points in my personal statement. Any other tips for building a cohesive application?

If it makes you less concerned, I interviewed on 9/11 and got the acceptance on Friday...don't be too worried if you're not in the first round of calls! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SproutMom Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I also got the acceptance call on Friday! Was super excited to become "official" during PA week!! I interviewed on 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrin Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi everyone! I noticed that there hasn't been a FB group made yet for the GWU PA Class of 2024 so I went ahead and started one. Feel free to request to join if you've been accepted! If someone wants to make a GroupMe later, we can totally do that too. Congrats again on all the new acceptances and good luck to everyone still in the running! Have a good night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that makes me feel a little better. During the time in between, did you send an email to the program? ie email of intent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to a panel of admission directors from all over and they said that while a letter of intent doesn't hurt you, it's not at all helpful and is not considered in their decision making. I felt really good about my interview, and I already had a back up acceptance so it was a little bit easier to "trust the process". The biggest mistake I made was listening to the GWU PA Connections podcast on Spotify in the meantime!! I would literally sit in my car in tears because everyone I listened to told me more and more that this was the right match for me. By the time they called I was so attached, I turned into an incoherent babbling mess!! I'm a big believer in what is supposed to happen will happen (I'm a 40 year old military spouse of 20 years so I'm pretty well versed in having NO control over my life!) and I believe the same for you. If it's right, it will happen! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually reached out to them about an official Facebook group and they said one would be created after the last interviews around November.

MaddyR956 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Congrats to everyone being accepted! I can’t wait to meet all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddyR956 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Has anyone else who has been accepted had trouble paying the deposit? I paid mine on the 16th and it was withdrawn from my account, but this morning as I looked at my transaction history the withdrawal disappeared and the $1,000 is back in my account… may be a glitch with my bank but was curious if this happened to anyone else.

asantos23 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I submitted around 6/25! Not sure exact date. However, after much thinking, I’ve decided to give up this interview spot. I’ve already been accepted elsewhere that I feel will be a better fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfruits Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Sorry if this is a stupid question but when did you get start receiving interviews? Are they going to send rejection letters anytime soon? :C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So safe to say that no invite to that interview = rejection (I too haven't heard back) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
