CURRENT STUDENTS

WE ARE GEORGETOWN! WE ARE THE SMP CLASS OF 2011!!
 

Major break dates

General time-line you should keep in mind during the year:

Before coming....

Apply to AMCAS (see instructions on ToDo page). Also, on your GUSOM initial application, make sure you check off that you are in a GU graduate program! This will allow you to turn in your GUSOM secondary later in the fall, when you have a better view of the GUSOM community.

August

Give the list of medical schools you've applied to, to Amy Richards. If you retook the MCAT before coming, please send the results to physio@georgetown.edu when you get them, and we will add them to your record.

August/September

Get secondary applications submitted to schools (except GUSOM).

October/November

Meet with your faculty advisor, so they can start constructing a letter of recommendation.
(Advisor letter is sent out in late November/early December. This will include fall grades to that date.)

December

Complete and sebmit GUSOM secondary before winter break!

January

After CVP complete, send unofficial (off your StudentAccess) or official transcript (from Registrars site) to schools.

January-June

You can update schools when you have new grades. This can be done via email! They WANT to know you're interested! At the very least, update schools after the med courses are complete in late March.

March- April

Attend "Strategy meeting! This is for anyone who isn't SURE that they're in schools. The strategy calendar is HERE
IF YOU"RE ON A WAITLIST...send the school updates, and let them know how much you'd like to go there! This is a great thing!

For applicants to GUSOM: your grades will be sent to Admissions after the Renal course. They will issue interviews soon thereafter...this comes FAST, so you have to be prepared. They will not issue any acceptances until later in the spring (maybe May), and acceptance could continue through the summer, so BE PATIENT! As with any school, if you get on the waitlist, do send updates through the summer.

July

APPLY TO GRADUATE!! You HAVE to do this...apply for July graduation, and you'll either be cleared in July or August. If you are reapplying, please let your letter writer know, and cc physio@georgetown.edu, so we can ride herd on it! And please refer to the second year stratgey calendar for guidance...

Let us know how you're doing....ANYTIME!!
