Did they accept anyone this committee meeting? It’s crazy they only deferred more applicants 🙁
Congrats! Were you deferred pre II?II just now! Totally shocked. LM 73, complete mid august
I was not! I hadn’t heard a word from them since submitting the appCongrats! Were you deferred pre II?
+1Just got an email saying I am deferred and will hear back again on a different date. What's the difference between a hold and deferral?
alternatively has anyone that interviewed 11/18 heard back?
11/18, nothing also11/21 and nothing
11/21, also nothing11/18, nothing also
Hi! I interviewed 11/9 and have not heard back at all. Best of luck to you!I’m assuming people who interviewed on 11/9 already heard back?

+111/30 also have not heard back yet
Anyone have information on this?Does anyone know if the Abigail Geisinger scholars program will prevent you from pursuing fellowships? I know that you would have to do ur residency in IM, FM, peds, or psychiatry. Would you still be able to sub specialize in those fields? Can’t seem to find any info on this.
I heard that you can pursue fellowship after the four years of primary care you owe to geisinger
Exactly. It would be hard to match into a competitive fellowship like Cardio or GI after those 4 years, but I’m sure you could do neph or Rheumatology.I heard that you can pursue fellowship after the four years of primary care you owe to geisinger
What about those who were given IIs from their MBS program? What does the acceptance data for the people in that group look like (in state vs out of state as well)?Nobody knows, but according to MSAR, at least greater than 12.3%:
Interviewed 928Matriculated 114
For funsies, let's assume they confer acceptance offers to between twice and thrice the amount matriculated:
Interviewed 928Accepted 228≤𝓍≤342Matriculated 114
Now it's between 24.6% and 36.9%, which means absolutely nothing due to it's speculative nature, but what else will I do for the next three weeks‽
EDIT: let's consider in-state versus out-of-state:
Categories In-state Out-of-stateInterviewed 451 477Accepted 160≤𝓍≤240 68≤𝓍≤102Matriculated 80 34Post-interview acceptance rate (%) 35.5≤𝓍≤53.2 14.3≤𝓍≤21.4
To be honest, I'm not sure, but this might be relevant:What about those who were given IIs from their MBS program? What does the acceptance data for the people in that group look like (in state vs out of state as well)?
Has anyone that interviewed Nov 30th heard back yet?
nope. i feel like we should hear back this week though...11/21 and nothing here.
Was yours just the regular interview? Like they didn't mention specifically that it was only an interview for Abigail program rightGot the A through email 1 hour ago! I indicated interest in the Scholars' Program in my original application but I don't see any info about it in my acceptance, or the financial aid email they sent me. So assuming I may have just not gotten the scholarship? idk idk
It was a regular interview! My understanding was that once you were accepted, you'd have an opportunity to interview for the scholarship but I don't see any details regarding that anywhere in my letterWas yours just the regular interview?

i interviewed 11/9 &had not been deferred beforehand !congrats to those accepted! May I ask whether you were accepted straight or if you were deferred first? Also, may I ask your interview dates?

Accepted via email just now!
Congratulations! They will eventually reach out with separate emails regarding the AG Scholars Program. One will be general information, another will be the interview date/time if you are selected.Got the A through email 1 hour ago!

Did you do your postbac at Geisinger in their MBS program?Thanks! To preface, I’m non trad and did a post bacc and have a hefty amount of scribing hours and community-based work experience.
MCAT: 506
Undergrad cGPA: 3.31
Postbac: 3.96
I don’t have the Lizzy M score tho lol sorry
personally i didn't do much in terms of introductions! i don't think it could hurt to do a very brief intro, but i just got right into my answers because it's all timed. also they made us sign this agreement to not say what the qs were about but i think that doing normal mmi prep will have you more than ready for whatever they throw @ youWere there any school specific questions like why us during the MMI and did you guys introduce yourself to each interviewer before responding?
