How are you all preparing for the MMI interview? Mine is in two weeks.

Secondary received, subbed, and confirmed complete on 8/2, but nothing yet, should I be worried? Still early but I can't help but wonder :/

Still very early. I'd say a very small percentage of total II's got sent out. Hang tight, the cycle is long!

Just got an email that they are cancelling all on-campus recruitment events due to the recent COVID surge.

I did not take it either and I hope it is really not a big deal. But II received 30 minutes ago!

Seems like they are sending a LOT of II... Sucks none of the previous post-II acceptance trackers have Geisinger data.

Do you guys know if getting an interview without taking the SJT means it is not really required or if no taking it will impact your admission even after receiving an II?

My first II! Nontrad 3.81/511, took CASPER but no score yet, no SJT either. My interview date isn't until December 6. I'm a little worried I'll be interviewing so late.

ps - I didn't even know SJT was a thing until I saw this thread. I tried to register for a test and there are apparently no available testing dates for the rest of the year.

Ehh I don't think so. Poster above said Dec 6th is first available date, so I think they are just starting this process early. I know my other schools sends II about 2-3 weeks before interview dates

I was more commenting on the sheer number of interviews in the interview tracker.
 
Sorry. Colorblind. The hyperlink is the same color for me.
 
ll this morning but I do not see any available dates on the calendar. Anyone who received ll today was able to schedule?

Hi all! Congrats to all those who have received II this far, it’s a huge achievement. I’m currently an M1 student at Geisinger and know that last cycle they interviewed approximately 900 applicants and granted around 270 acceptances. Hope this helps 😁

Were these the total offers, or is this the size of the accepted class?

Do you know if there was any favorable sway towards instate versus OOS for post-II acceptances (like Pitt)?

Software platform that many admissions departments used. You probably filled out several secondaries on an AMP platform. Also a low-energy nucleotide.

Is anyone able to speak to Geisinger's online coursework policy? They're pretty explicit on their website that no online courses are acceptable, save those taken due to COVID-19. I took online coursework before COVID and am holding out hope they've amended their bias by now.

I believe that is such for their prerequisites unless they were impacted due to COVID-19. A few other schools I know of have a similar sentiment. Granted all courses count towards your GPA when it comes to the AMCAS application, and I'm pretty certain most institutions do not remove online courses you took from your application just for the sake of recalculating your GPA or to say "hey, your degree doesn't count." That's absurd if you ask me, but has anyone heard of any medical schools doing that?

Earliest for me at the time was 9/15. But my friend received her invite much later and they were interviewing into November I think?

FWIW, I did receive an II to Geisinger and I have online coursework that is pre-COVID. I'm not sure how applicable that is as i'm a non-trad student and was working full-time. Hopefully it isn't just a pleasant oversight on their part.

Exact same situation for me. Mine were fully proctored, regionally accredited courses. So many people were rubber-stamped online with no proctored exams during the COVID months. It seems ridiculous those classes would count but mine would not.
 
Has anyone had an interview with Geisinger yet? I have mine in a few weeks.

when I got an II last week, they only had January dates open so I think they have a system where they interview those they really want before October and then filter the availability of dates by an applicant's state status/scores/ etc.
