Congrats to both of yall! Were you previously deferred??

Thank you! I was not deferred (to my knowledge, at least)

 

[Premed2Med1]

Deferred after late Jan interview OOS

Do they reject people post-interview? Or is it just mass deferral and then rejection later? Trying to figure out how I should feel about this

Based on last year’s thread, people definitely got accepted from being deferred! Don’t stress yet ☺️

 

[Danielle177]

Do decisions go out throughout the whole day? or just in the morning?

Finally got the A! It took me 3 years of applying and I finally got in. If you do not give up on your dreams then your dreams will not give up on you. Also for people who are accepted, it says to submit the deposit but I literally can't find where

 

[ElTacoGrande]

I found it on the portal, confirmation almost gave me a heart attack...

[ElTacoGrande]

Anyone have an idea what's the theory with the 'other offers' webpage under the Offer tab on the website and if it's helpful for anything to list other offers there? Not sure if they offer scholarships beyond Abigail, but maybe that helps inform those decisions ?

 

[senor_batman13]

Anyone from late January not hear back at all?

 

[bean-sprout]

I got the Abigail scholars II just now after hearing back with the A yesterday

So the portal took a little bit to update and give me the tabs with this. I was so scared that A was an accident when I saw this 😵

 

[riproach]

Anyone have an idea of how much of their class is filled? I interviewed last month and I feel like a lot of people on here have been getting post-II deferrals so im thinking a good amount of seats are still not taken?

Wondering the same… any insight shared would be appreciated! Deferred post-II 12/6.

 

[misshighenergy]

anyone get accepted after deferral?!

 

[Premed2Med1]

anyone get accepted after deferral?!

Looking at the thread from last year there were def people who got accepted after deferral. So at least for Geisinger its not a soft R

 

[makemeadoc]

anyone get accepted after deferral?!

Last year I ended up waitlisted after being deferred. So, potentially you have the chance to come off the waitlist if it gets to that point and if there is a lot of movement

 

[senor_batman13]

R in the mail today. Interviewed late Jan. No emails or portal updates.

 

[luckycharm1]

Hey wonderful people. I don’t know if this is consisted as spam, but I have a slightly off topic question. Does geisinger commonwealth accept LORs from Interfolio? Or it should be strictly through amcas?

you link interfolio to your amcas and they receive it through amcas. good luck 🙂

Thanks so much!!! You too!

 

[sillygoose59]

Do you all think we’ll have to wait till April 15th for the next wave of decisions for interviews? It seems kinda late to me but I know they usually do release on the 15th of the month

 

[sillygoose59]

Def. Spoke to admissions today and the woman basically confirmed again that they only meet once a month and that it could be “6-8 weeks. Sometimes even more”

Ah darn. This whole process has taught me to be patient if nothing else 😞 thanks for sharing!!

 

[lookatthisgraph]

ive been deferred since november after interviewing in october. i sent them a letter of intent/update letter a few months ago. what do u guys think abt emailing them and asking them where i stand? this is my top choice school so i dont want to screw up by emailing them

if you already sent a LOI i would lean of the side of not asking where you stand since it wont improve your standings. FWIW the FB page of accepted students has 79 students rn.

Where did you see the FB page?

 

[eggsan]

Does anyone know their estimated class size?

 

[Premed2Med1]

Important to remember that all schools accept more students than their actual class size. So Geisinger accepts at least 200+

 

[AskingQuestionsMed]

When do you guys think the February interview people will hear back? If its 15th of every month, it seems kind of late to hear back April 15th.

 

[sillygoose59]

I just realized that geisinger sent an email regarding their Abigail’s scholar program a while ago 🙁 they said that the FAFSA was required to be filled out by March 1st to be considered for the program - does anyone know if that’s a strict deadline?

fwiw, I just interviewed for Abigail scholars yesterday and haven’t yet filled out my FAFSA. I have not heard anything from Geisinger about it either, so I think you’re probably ok!

Omg okay this is so comforting thank you so much!! 💓💓💓

Did they say anything on Monday about when we’d hear back on Abigail decisions ? Forgot to ask.

No, I don’t think they mentioned it

 

[Premed2Med1]

From what I can see, Geisinger only releases decisions once a month at around the midpoint of the month. I interviewed near the end of January and I was deferred mid-March.

 

[doctordoodlebob]

In previous years, it looks like people heard back a bit earlier than the 15th for April so fingers crossed

 

[clsh1234]

Did anyone who was deferred in February hear back since then with a decision?

 

[AskingQuestionsMed]

For people who interviewed in february, do you guys think we could still be considered for the Abigal scholars program especially since we will hear back so late.

 

[bean-sprout]

Just got the Abigail Scholars A! Super excited! Super quick turnaround, too- I just interviewed on Monday
