I still haven't received a secondary...

Saw this link on another thread and it says a secondary will be sent to "all applicants upon receipt of verified AMCAS application." My app was verified before July 10 and I received secondaries from all the other schools I applied to... Not sure if I should reach out or just be patient...

You should reach out imo, I was verified around the 18th and received a secondary within a week I believe

I received the Geisinger secondary this morning! I was verified in June. I'm guessing they just chose to send them out in waves.

IS, verified 8/3, secondary submitted 8/8

IS, verified 8/3, secondary submitted 8/8

Are you posting this to say you got an II or?

 

[adoconeday]

I took it twice: Jan 2018 and June 2020, so they should have received both since they're on my AMCAS

Is your app marked as complete yet or is it still held up by the mcat? I'm in the same situation...

Does Geisinger accept AP credit for English? I just don't understand what "case by case" means for their English requirement.

 

[joyride-05]

is everyone actually listing the five attributes in a sentence? or are you taking a sentence to explain each one? I'm leaning towards just listing them since that's what the prompt says but since there's no word/character limit I'm psyching myself out lol

Lots of in state IIs...

Geisinger is a school that strongly values students who have a connection to the areas they serve so it’s expected to see

 

[adoconeday]

Is anyone still waiting to be complete? I submitted my secondary almost three weeks ago.

I literally just sent my supplementary in and got a "complete" email seconds after. Are you waiting on any test scores or letters? If not, I'd email the admissions.

 

[regina-phalange]

does anyone know the post-II acceptance rate here?

 

[BubzHoo]

Does anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file?

 

[connorm4297]

Does anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file?

Closed file I believe

 

[BubzHoo]

Closed file I believe

Thank you!

 

[4ever12]

Does anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file?

They do two interviews. One with a faculty member and the other a student. The faculty member is open file and student is closed.

Aww I’m so sorry 🙁 I’m sure you will get into another school!! You have great stats.
Was the rejection post secondary / pre II?

Sorry to here that but I agree, it’s good that they’ll at least let us now. I’d rather be told then fiddled with until the end. Don’t worry though it’s a long cycle we all got this

Thanks for letting us know, and for the complete date. Sorry it didn't work out here, but rooting for you at your other schools! It's a relief to know that your application isn't just drifting through the void.
