Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
When you log into your portal, on the side there should be an interview tab, the form should be there. I submitted my form day-of interview so I am not sure if it is there early.

I don't see it currently... only living in scranton and sample schedule. Maybe it'll be there tomorrow. Thanks for the help! 🙂
I am so anxiously awaiting a decision, I wonder when their next wave of As/Ws will be

I'm a reapplicant so I learned this last cycle. Also, during recruitment day and on their website they say that their committee meets once/month for As/Ds/Rs... I've also gone through GCSOM's SDN thread from previous 2 cycles lol

For those who have interviewed, were you ever prompted to upload a headshot/picture to the portal?

I don’t know the answer but I’m curious too. I saw on one website that the chance of receiving an interview is 13.53%. I don’t know how reliable the numbers are though!

Hello! Do you have any insight on the new MMI format? I completely understand if not, and I truly appreciate your being on here to help us!
Someone earlier in the thread I believe said out of 900 interviewed, ~270 were accepted (so~30%). No breakdown between IS and OOS but I would guess IS may be higher… just a guess tho
is geisinger staying P/F for future students? many schools are transitioning to graded preclinicals smh
Anyone get an acceptance here yet?

I’ve seen a few on the II tracker.
Yes, they sent a wave of acceptances on Oct. 15th.

Interviewed on Sept 27th and took the situational judgment test on Oct 27th, so will probably hear a decision (A/W/D) around the same time or more likely just before I get my results back form the judgment test. You think admissions will see that I have at least taken the exam or are they only notified with the results?

Why are they transitioning?
Because of Step 1 going P/F. NJMS, for example, changed it for the Class of 2025 to HP/P/F, but no one was told until they showed up for classes in the fall.
and even worse…. njms is ABCDF for class of 2026
Yikes! Are you sure?

The sample schedule on the portal was pretty accurate. you probably will end early if there aren't too many questions in the Q and A session

Yeah, but how does that counteract Step 1 going P/F. How do program directors compare GPAs from one place to P/F at another?
Totally forgot about that, thanks!
Interviewed here last month. Anyone who's gotten news yet...how long did it take you to hear back post Interview?
I think they said 6-8 weeks. Usually comes out on the 15th of every month, I think.

Did anyone not end up taking the SJT? I know Geisinger strongly recommends it but they offered me an interview in August without it... so I assumed I wouldn't need it. Got deferred a couple weeks ago.
top 25% of SJT gets a slight boost, everyone else (including those not taking it) has no impact on admissions at other schools that have released how they used sjt.
Lucked out with 76th percentile, so just made the cut here lol. If only I did so well on casper- 25th to 50th percentile there.
They say 6-8 weeks but it seems like it's on the 15th of the following month of your interview. I interviewed last month so hoping to find out before Thanksgiving!
When did you interview? Do you have ties to the area?
Pre-II R here too 🙁

Wondering the same thing!
Email, followed by a mailed letter a few days later.
I hope so, or at least by next Friday.
