2021-2022 Geisinger Commonwealth

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.

This is helpful, thanks! Is it true the post-II acceptance rate is 10-25% too? Seems outrageous.

I think that value is from matriculated students, not all who were accepted. I could be wrong though!

II received 10/21! Completed 10/7, interview isn't until February 🙁

I see the 115 matriculants /9XX interviews on MSAR, where did you see the # of acceptances at , can't find that ? Was hoping it was a little higher like 50% post II odds.

 

[tyrannosaurus_wrecks]

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

Idk I thought it was because I submitted a little later and didn't get everything in until 9/4 😶 I'm a low stats applicant though so I'm not entirely surprised about being stuck in limbo...

You can’t. The ryker homie had some quick maths some posts ago in this thread.

But 50% seems high, especially considering they interview 42% of their IS apps

 

[pizzapie100]

[PuzzlesMD]

I am impressed with how personalized the acceptance letter is by highlighting a few activities/accomplishments from my app that stood out to the committee!

Does anyone know how competitive the Abigal Geisinger scholarship is? Or how many slots they have per class?

 

[novabear3]

those that were deferred or accepted, did y'all go to a recruitment day yet? Or are you going next week/jan?

 

[dr.ibarelyevenknowher]

Does anyone know how competitive the Abigal Geisinger scholarship is? Or how many slots they have per class?

I think ~40 per class

I did not go to a recruitment day. I plan on visiting the campus when I am back east over the holidays.

was in the first cohort of interviews (interviewed 9/9), emailed 10/17 that I was deferred to next committee meeting, and have not heard anything since. thought I would get a decision the same day the second cohort of interviews did but guess the committee hasn't officially met yet for deferred people or something

Do you think deferred here is just a waitlist?

 

[acetylcholine4me]

Has anyone else not heard back yet? I also interviewed in October.

 

[showtim3]

Do you think deferred here is just a waitlist?

no, "deferred to the next committee meeting" and "waitlisted" are two different things at Geisinger
