Hahaha figured. You think it’s still worth throwing in a secondary or not worth bc too late? I did my smp at Gt so we did have a career event with geisinger during that time

I mean, if you have the secondary fee amount to spare, why not. Never hurts to try!

I wouldn't dilly dally since they're booking II in Feb now though. but prob cancellations coming too. Aint no party like a Scranton party...

 

[hec0201]

II received, IS, complete late September. Interview dates in February. Wondering if emailing in a couple weeks to ask if I could re-schedule for a closer date is an option?

LM 70, WARS in the low 80s

I’m in the same boat but out of state. Wonder if I can reschedule as well as I had to pick in February.

Hey,

so it started around 11 - but they told us to arrive by 10:45 i think. There was a presentation, then financial aid talk, followed by a tour, and lunch with the m1 tour guides after. After lunch we had an interactive learning session thing and met with student affairs peeps for the low down on stuff on campus. Finally we rounded off the day at 3ish with a faculty meet and greet and everyone filtered out by 4ish. I hope that helps!

What was served for lunch?

 

[dr.ibarelyevenknowher]

What was served for lunch?

Italian food. Looked like vodka sauce, a salad, bread, maybe chicken parm?

Sounds good! A nice vodka sauce does wonders to a pasta dish. Love that sauce, and sometimes I’ll eat some pesto

I got an II this morning as well! Congrats! My first available date was in late Feb though.. I wonder why there is such a large difference between interview dates.

 

[MCAThiccy]

You know what? I got a question: why did some people who interviewed the week or day after me get a waitlist (or really, any decision) and I have just gotten silence post II?

The other person got a cancelled spot (or the general rumors are true that schools give earlier II dates to candidates they like more).

But other than that, everyone getting IIs for the past week have gotten February.

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation!

I'm just confused mathematically about how they are still sending out invites and not letting people know about As?? between this school and Quinnipiac, i genuinely am not seeing adcom's logic

Me either; it's very confusing and frustrating

I agree, have they sent out many A's yet?

I wonder how long it took last cycle.

 

[GettinAfterIt]

Has anyone who interviewed 10/7 heard back yet?

 

[Julatteluver]

Just received R, complete late July. I interviewed with Geisinger last time I applied, but I guess it is what it is. Good luck to everyone else!

Best of luck on your interview! Remain calm and remember that you deserve to be there. You're going to do great! 🙂

 

[tyrannosaurus_wrecks]

Has anyone else gotten an email that the admissions committee has "elected to defer an interview decision until a later date"?? Am I just in hold limbo now?

I did not get that, I was complete 6/29 and haven't had any emails from them since then

 

[GettinAfterIt]

Does anyone remember how long they said it would take to hear back after the interview? Was it 6-8 weeks?

 

[hec0201]

Would it be rude/look negative if I emailed asking for an earlier date (anything earlier than february lol)? Just something along the lines of I really like this school and I'd love the chance to interview earlier if there are any cancellations, etc?

 

[valkywraith2019]

Yes 6-8 weeks was what they said at my interview.

 

[novabear3]

Has anyone who interviewed 10/7 heard back yet?

interviewed on 10/3, but from post above we will be waiting for a few more weeks to hear back

It seems that if we interviewed early-mid October (before the 15th), there's a good chance we'll hear back on Monday (Nov. 15) right? I hope so, or at least by next Friday.
