@chilly_md Just to clarify, questions 2-4 are there regardless of your response to Abigail Scholars. If you say yes, then Q1 will be the Abigail Scholars question only. If you say no, then Q1 will be the "why are you a good fit" question only.

Thanks, I will add a note to it.
 
Hey you guys, I got an email about the Abagail Scholars Program today and I’m trying to email the email they provided me to apply but it won’t work. Anyone have the same issue?

Also is it a good sign that they sent me this or is this pretty generic?

They aren't even done yet?? Last time people were scheduling interviews was early December/late November. In general, it is way too early to be worrying about that. Each school moves at their own pace and Geisinger seems to be chugging along.
 
OOS II 8/31, submitted 7/26. earliest timeslot I could get was mid November though.
 
OOS II received 08/25, secondary completed 08/09. Abigail, LM 70. Waited about a day to schedule interview for late October.
 
Anyone else interviewing tomorrow? I can’t find the interview agreement on my portal…
 
Also, can anyone not find the confidentiality agreement they refer to in the email sent last night?

Yea they said it would be on the interview tab on the portal but I can’t find it. That’s what I was referring to but I got the name of it wrong

Also, it says to complete it 24 hours before the interview.. I looked on the portal yesterday though and didn’t see it.
 
My MMI with Geisinger will be done over Zoom, and not in person. I've been reading up on the MMI and am not sure how any "teamwork" stations would work over Zoom. Does anyone know how exactly doing an online MMI differs from an in-person one?

Based on last years SDN chat it seems like there were no team exercises, I’m not sure if that’ll change this year
