2022-2023 Commonwealth (Geisinger)

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

ok thank you! I wasn't sure if deferred was just a nice way for them to say waitlisted. But good to know they are 2 different things. Best of luck to you too because my app is also deferred 😢

did anyone get an II awhile ago over the summer but had to schedule it really far out -- all my options were November.

 

[dayzinn]

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

Yeah interviewed 10/19 and havent heard back yet. I think they only released decisions up to 10/14. Hopefully rest of us will be hearing soon!

interviewed 9/9 --> deferred to next committee meeting 10/17 --> sent update letter 10/23 --> received letter of rejection in mail for class of 2026 11/10. I assume this is just a typo but I did not receive a rejection email and my portal does not reflect anything new on the communication tab. this was my only II and practically my best shot of an A. what do, except cry?

Anyone know anything about the geisinger Scholars interview? Is it another mmi or one on one or something?

 

[potatotad]

Did anyone send thank you letters after the interview? I’m not sure if I should send one or not

Rejected today via post (snail mail postmarked November 8th, 2022). No update or indication of rejection within the online admissions portal. Completed on 6/29/22 and interviewed on 9/2/22.
The paper is hand signed, too. It's actually really nice.

Congrats! Did the interview invite specifically state that you are being considered for the Abigail Scholars program?

I liked their letter! The hand written signature was a nice touch and it felt like they legitimately considered me. I hope all goes well for you, Fox! 🙂

Some schools need to fix their emailing system. I applied months ago, why did I get the general email this week about the abigail scholars program. I am still deferred... Literally made my heart skip a beat. Just not nice at all.

 

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

Got a pre-II rejection here in October and today I received a big paper brochure about the program in the mail. Why did I receive this LMAO

I was deferred post interview and also got this in the mail today LOL

 

[emsea123]

I was deferred post interview and also got this in the mail today LOL

The nerve of these schools lol I swear

 

[paul30]

Did anyone get a packet in the mail about the school but didn't interview there yet? I received one today and it probably means nothing but I was just surprised lol

I got a packet mailed to my parent's house. I assumed it was a rejection, and told them to not bother to open it though lol

I just checked the past messages and apparently a lot of people got it without IIs lol

 

[la vida loca]

Interviewing in a week or two. Any tips/general advice for interview day a little nervous 😅

 

[PuzzlesMD]

So it's not a bad thing that I received the packet in the mail?

why would it be a bad thing?

 

[TryingMyBest84]

I also got that promotional packet in the mail today. I got all excited thinking it was related to an interview invite. Seems like a waste of money and paper on the school's part. Why send us a promotion when we all already paid to apply here. They should only send it to accepted students.

 

[Jaylife]

why would it be a bad thing?

I think random people get it at random time? I got it yesterday and my interview is Monday

 

[Jaylife]

I think it isn't good or bad. Just means you applied and expressed interest in the scholars program. Doesn't imply anything beyond that

Like how people were going next gen neurotic over drexel's open house emails. Don't read into it lol

“Next gen neurotic” is my new favorite phrase

 

[Jaylife]

Interviewing in about 1.5 hours, any last minute tips?

I also got the promotional packet today. After the pre II R I got a month ago. And I’m IS, so they def sent to me after the R

Does Geisinger do all of their Scholar’s interviews in the fall? Interviewing in January and wondering if there is even a chance at this point.

I’m interviewing for that mid december i’m assuming there will be more dates

 

[heyheyheyheyheyheyheyhey]

Do we submit the web interview agreement in advance of interview day, or do we do that during the interview day?

 

[ejc4300]

Submit in advance. You can do it day of but it’s expected/easier to do it on advance

 

[Curlywhirly1]

Pre-II R today 11/28 🙁.

OOS ORM LM 62. Complete 11/4/22 and I submitted an update letter via email on 11/22/22, which seems to have only expedited my rejection

 

[Goldfish23]

Has anybody who interviewed after 10/14 heard back yet?
