hello,

I have not received an interview invite yet, but I received a packet about the Abigail Geisinger Scholars Program (I applied). Does this mean anything or do they send that out in mass?

Same

 

[granted90]

I applied to both programs, but I just got a standard postcard in the mail advertising their school.

Was weird. I got the postcard one day and packet the next haha

Anyone who interviewed on 10/27 hear back yet? I know they said 6-10 weeks but I was just curious 😅

I interviewed 10/27 and haven't heard back. I think it'll be a while longer 🙁

 

[WeJu$tNeed1]

Yea that’s what I was thinking too :/ just out of curiosity, have you sent them a letter of interest/update since the interview? I’m debating sending one, but idk if it helps at all

I interviewed 10/27 and haven't heard back. I think it'll be a while longer 🙁

Also a 10/27. Nothing yet. I think we still have a while 🙁. My guess would be early Jan

 

[grouppm2]

[premed 2025-26]

How long after interview did u guys hear back it’s been 2 months now

 

[grouppm2]

Interviewed on 10/27 and still haven't heard back (10 week mark was yesterday). Any idea when decisions will be released?

same here, i doubt adcoms were meeting for 2-3 weeks with the holidays so our “10 week mark” is probably still a few weeks out

 

[premed 2025-26]

When did you interview? At my session they said about 8-10 weeks, but I'm not sure how the holidays would influence that. In earlier comments there have been as early as 7 weeks post-interview and previous years' threads have gone up to 12-13 weeks

Nov 1st

Was a 10/27 too. Nothing yet. I think they typically have 1 decision day per month, though? So whenever that is we will probably hear

Looks like the December decision date was 12/8, so hopefully Jan decision date is in the early part of month as well.

Has anyone reached out to Geisinger to ask about how they're dealing with the new loan caps? I've heard some schools are introducing their own loans and I'm curious if Geisinger's going to do anything

 

[LB225]

OOS interview 11/17 and still waiting to hear on a final decision

 

[PurplePinata]

Just looked at past years' forums. In 2023-2024 cycle they sent decisions Dec 17 and January 28th, and in 2024-2025 they sent it Dec 4th and January 17th. So approximately 42-44 days between decisions for those cycles.

If this year's was Dec 8th, we should expect decisions somewhere around January 19th-21st. Of course this is just an educated guess, so take it with a grain of salt. It also seems like this year's thread is a lot less active than past years

Seems like a reasonable estimate. So close yet so far…

Also yeah what’s up with that?!? Only 3 pages so far…. We gotta have this thread pop off. Need some discussion. Thoughts on aliens? Are they real? Fake? Hiding amongst us? What’s the deal?
