This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did they accept anyone this committee meeting? It’s crazy they only deferred more applicants 🙁

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.
Anyone have information 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.
 
Nobody knows, but according to MSAR, at least greater than 12.3%:
Interviewed
928​
Matriculated
114​

For funsies, let's assume they confer acceptance offers to between twice and thrice the amount matriculated:
Interviewed
928​
Accepted
228≤𝓍≤342​
Matriculated
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-state​
Interviewed
451​
477​
Accepted
160≤𝓍≤240​
68≤𝓍≤102​
Matriculated
80​
34​
Post-interview acceptance rate (%)
35.5≤𝓍≤53.2
14.3≤𝓍≤21.4
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)?
 
Got 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

Was yours just the regular interview? Like they didn't mention specifically that it was only an interview for Abigail program right

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 letter
 
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?
 
deferred to next committee meeting via email today, interviewed 11/21, OOS
 
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.

Did you do your postbac at Geisinger in their MBS program?
 
Were there any school specific questions like why us during the MMI and did you guys introduce yourself to each interviewer before responding?

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 @ you
