hey everyone! I was checking my portal today and saw a new tab pop out that says "application submitted". I'm wondering what this means since I've been complete since early August and haven't heard anything since then...

i also have that tab on my portal, but i think it has been there since i submitted my secondary (complete late aug and still havent heard back either)

Does anyone have experience writing an update/letter of intent to this school? I am uncertain whether update letters should be addressed to Ms. Greene or Dr. Kania. Thanks!

 

[PikesPeak]

Is everyone getting the info packet in the mail after the interview?

I emailed it to [email protected]. I personally addressed it to the dean of admissions, but I don't think it matters too much; an admin assistant replied to it.

I did!

To those that have been accepted, did you update your portal with other acceptances in the "Other Offers" tab? Or to any current students, should we do this? I'm curious as to what the purpose is and whether it could serve as incentive for scholarships.

 

[justmedschooltingz]

any thoughts on what it means to have not heard back at all since end of august secondary submission?

 

[deleted1075607]

how good is this school with fin aid?

+1 very interested if this matters at all.

 

[anarchymed]

what is the interview here like?

 

[HopefulMed123]

Anyone hear anything yet? Also, has anyone been rejected post II? Can't seem to find anyone that has been rejected post-II.

 

[lala0997]

If we interviewed on 11/13, when should we all expect to hear back? I know they said 6-8 weeks, but it seems like it took longer for those who previously interviewed to hear back.

 

[YoloSwagCats]

Question: does Geisinger release the name of their interviewers ahead of time? Or do you find out at the interview?

 

[Julatteluver]

Has anyone who asked for an earlier interview date actually rescheduled?

For those that interviewed in late October/early November - are we thinking we'll hear at the 6 week or 8 week mark?

The wait is agonizing..

 

[justmedschooltingz]

thoughts on no communication after submitted secondary sept 1?

thoughts on no communication after submitted secondary sept 1?

i'd say neutral, geisinger has been sending Rs so silence doesn't necessarily mean bad here

 

[deleted889667]

Just a few more days of waiting (hopefully)...see y'all Monday AM
