2020-2021 Geisinger Commonwealth

Members don't see this ad.

I contacted them today! They just said the generic, wait until the end of July and that they can't disclose information etc. I agree with @bougies, I wish they gave us a little insight so we can plan our next few months..

I always try to stay hopeful but today really got me down with the waiting and the ambiguity on the phone :/

Yeah, the only other school I interviewed at just rejected me, so Geisinger is my last shot. I just want to know if I have a chance or should make other plans...

Fingers crossed for movement tomorrow y’all! 🙏

Any idea when the next batch of WL calls are?

 

[bougies]

When they call for As, is it an unknown number?

 

[Julatteluver]

When they call for As, is it an unknown number?

Someone previously said yes to the same question!

Damn I have a missed call from a 484 number 😂

 

[Fuzzyapple]

It said ‘No Caller ID’ for me! Hope this helps.

i had an unknown caller back from Tuesday. haven't been able to call back the number, and no voicemail. would Geisinger have sent an email if I wasn't able to pick up?

Hm, hard to say but it seemed like people who missed calls got a call back within the same day. Did they call you multiple times?

[senor_batman13]

For those of you that got called off the waitlist, did you also receive emails before/slightly after/days after getting the call and did they update anything on the Geisinger application portal?

I personally had no warning, just received a call from an unknown number. Last contact from me was more than a month earlier.

 

[j62729]

do you think they are done moving people off waitlist?

 

[deleted1076108]

do you think they are done moving people off waitlist?

No, but movement will be minimal.

 

[toastingpasta]

I listened to a podcast about the school and they went really into detail about the program. It’s a scholarship program

Personally i am just doing the normal version

Do you mind sharing the podcast?

 

[siloaddict]

Did any get into Geisinger w/o doing SJT?

 

[Carpenter30]

Did any get into Geisinger w/o doing SJT?

gcsom wasn’t on the list for the sjt for 20-21

 

[Flavio_Flores]

It was a hard decision for me, but I'm gonna have to withdraw my acceptance along with the Abigail Scholarship today. I hope this makes one of you very talented candidates happy soon! 😊

Any movement lately?

Any movement lately?

Not on my end 😔

Our student canvas page shows 115 students currently registered to the class.

With a class size of 115, I suspect new seats will only be offered if an accepted students withdraws.

What’s the usual/past class size again? 110~120?

Not sure what the actual numbers have been. MSAR says 115.

 

[KiddCo]

Been checking the student portal randomly over the last two weeks. Number has been fluctuating between 113 and 115. Sitting at 114 now. Maybe some movement off the waitlist. Good luck to those still waiting.

I haven’t heard anything 😔

Orientation starts on 8/2, right? So after that they’re done with pulling from the alternate list?

Yup I believe so 🙁

Student portal is at 115 now and past the CTE deadline so I'd reckon that's it for this cycle save an extenuating circumstance

If this is it, it has been a pleasure riding through this cycle with you all. Hoping someone gets a call before August 2nd ❤
