Dont they have a 6-8 week time gap after the interview before they send a response?

hi there! i had some questions about the logistics of the MMI at geisinger.

do we get to see the scenario as we are speaking during our 6 minutes or does the scenario disappear after the 2 minutes of prep time.

do we get to take down notes during our 2 minutes of prep time that we can refer to during our 6 minutes of speaking time?

thank you!

Disappears after 2 minutes
Yes can take notes
Yes you can refer to notes but keep in mind that may not come off well to some interviewers…

[eggsan]

Hello all, not sure if this was already answered but wanted to ask if they send out more details about interview day? I’d like to know more on what to expect with the MMIs, how long the interview day will be, etc. Thanks!

How many weeks after ii did you receive your updates? (Those of you whom have ii and heard back)

 

[adg30]

I interviewed on 10/24 and got deferred on 12/6, should I be viewing my deferred status as a soft rejection at this pt, or is there a chance I can still get accepted

I am in the same position and am also wondering ://

 

[panda9999]

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.

Remember that Geisinger has fellowships in Cardiology and GI...

Has anyone that interviewed in December heard back with a decision yet?

do they explain the logistics of the interview format prior to the start of the MMI? i'm a bit confused as to how the prompt showing would work/when to actually join the Zoom call w the interviewer

 

[milkshake&fryes]

+1

+2. i'm starting to dread checking my mailbox bc someone in the thread mentioned that they reject via snail mail

It seems like no one on SDN from our interview date has heard back yet so I don’t think that’s a case! From what I think, they send out decisions once a month so we might just be waiting until February to hear back, unfortunately.

Yes! They go over everything before the interview starts. I don’t remember exactly what the logistics were but they went over everything!

Also I heard through the grapevine that there might be issues with their new email system so maybe hope isn’t lost yet 👀

Do they send us any info through email prior to interview date? Still waiting for some type of communication beforehand

Yes I got an email about a week before my interview date

 

[Volkner243]

I will likely be withdrawing my A soon, so hopefully it goes to one of you beautiful people on here 🙂

 

[Shack88]

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?

Interviewed in October. Deferred in December. Accepted January 17th!
