Eat the lucky scones!!
haha in all seriousness, congrats, and don't stress. Read the interview feedback section, read up on the school, and don't worry.
I'm pretty sure you have to do both. The 100 bucks is refundable until May 1st I'm pretty sure.

To you and everyone that has been rejected, did you guys get an unprofessional letter about their MBS program after they told you that you were rejected?

The president of Geisinger literally told us he'd like to guarantee us Geisinger residency. Not saying that we're guaranteed but definitely will be at an advantage.

I'm a second year so it was just at a community meeting. 'Like' is definitely the operational word there, though. There's no policy that we will have any advantage he just was saying that he'd like it to be that way. At the very least I feel that we will have an advantage when applying to Geisinger residencies

Not exactly, all of the other campuses still exist with the exception of Poconos. Geisinger Danville (the main Geisinger hospital) is now available as a campus, though. I'm sure things will develop but it's still all very new. I think there will be lots of positive changes though.

Can anybody comment on how generous this school is with its financial aid packages?

I have not heard anything since I was deferred in October. Should I send them a letter of intent since this is my #1 school?

Did anyone call nearby hotels and get a discounted rate? Or did they charge full price?
Their website indicates that students can get a discount but I'm not sure if we qualify.

I stayed at the Radisson Lackawanna; they didn't mention a discount. But they provide a free airport shuttle if you call the hotel when you get in. The guy who drove me to the hotel (Mike) was real nice, actually drove me in the morning to the interview, then came to pick me up from it and drove me back to the airport. Saved me a ton of money. I just tipped him.

By acceptance packet you mean one letter from Dean Scheinman and another from the financial aid office, right? Just worried something was lost in the mail...

Can anyone send me the link to the Accepted Facebook page? I cant find it :/
Oh, so the same stuff we got in the first email?
When do financial aid packages come out in terms of grants and scholarship for accepted students ?
