Unless schools once again emergency-close down and move to a "mostly online-only" situation, then I don't think it will be accepted by Geisinger unless you ask for an exception and they grant it (unlikely, but you never know).I need to take the final quarter of physics, and my local community college only offers it online. Here is what Geisinger’s website says about prerequisites: “Online coursework will not be accepted. (Courses taken online due to COVID-19 may be considered.)”
The pandemic is obviously still going on, but the college does have some in-person classes (but not for the course I need.) Does anybody have experience with this? Thanks!
Do you think I could request an exception before taking it? The class would start in January 2023 and I would need it done before entering in Fall 2023. The only community college in my state that offers it in-person that term is 1.5 hours away from me.Unless schools once again emergency-close down and move to a "mostly online-only" situation, then I don't think it will be accepted by Geisinger unless you ask for an exception and they grant it (unlikely, but you never know).
I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask, but that's just my opinion.Do you think I could request an exception before taking it?

Is it separate than the regular interview? I expressed interest in the program too but my interview email didn't mention anything specifically about the programDoes anyone have information or advice on the Abigail Geisinger scholars interview?
Yes, it's separate. They'll send you more information about it after your interview.Is it separate than the regular interview? I expressed interest in the program too but my interview email didn't mention anything specifically about the program
I would send a letter of interest/ intent as soon as possibledo we know if geisinger accepts letters of intent? i interviewed here 10/3, got deferred on 11/7, and haven't heard anything back since. i also applied for the abigail geisinger scholars program, so i'm wondering if that may be contributing to them not getting back to me right away. nevertheless, i was debating sending in a LOI since this is my top choice and i would love to go here. also, i know that they accept updates, but i haven't been doing anything new in terms of experiences. just continuing to scribe FT and volunteer, so not rly anything to update them on.
some info on my application:
in-state
GPA- 3.76
MCAT- 506
experiences- couple thousand hours scribing, couple hundred hours volunteering w/ CTL, hundreds of hours of research w/ honors thesis, hundreds of hours as peer mentor work experience, about 70 hours doing online shadowing, and some hobbies (hiking, playing flute and piano)
sorry this is so long, but just wanted to get some opinions on what i should do. thanks!
edit: this is one of two interviews i have received so far (received a DO interview which i had on 11/10, haven't heard back from them either)
that is all the confirmation i need. will surely send that. thanks!I would send a letter of interest/ intent as soon as possible
How does it hurt? From what I’ve heard it helps cuz it shows you’re fully committed to their program and really want to be there. Can’t hurt to say that imothat is all the confirmation i need. will surely send that. thanks!
edit: upon reading up more about LOIs, it seems that they can hurt your chances. does anyone have any experience/knowledge about this? i don't want the letter to end up hurting me as opposed to helping me
