2020-2021 Geisinger Commonwealth

[lovekawaiiveggies]

interviewed 1/6 and deferred 3/3... the suspense is painful this is my only MD school and I just want to know if there’s even a chance still 😭

It's inhumane how they send the Rs via snail mail... just email us, please. They released decisions 3/2 and again on 3/25, so hopefully you were deferred again... I know I've been checking the mail like crazy.

Has anybunny from 2/24 heard back yet?

I interviewed on 2/24 and I have not heard back yet.

 

[Carpenter30]

Anything from 2/26 interview date?

 

[drink-more-water]

wishing they would surprise us and release 2/24 and 3/1 results all at once

They probably will. They will release results for everyone including deferred apps with A/WL/R according to last cycle

I interviewed 2/12 and haven't heard back yet

 

[drink-more-water]

Do you remember when that happened last cycle?

 

[Julatteluver]

Do you remember when that happened last cycle?

Early april! However, geisinger is slightly late with this cycle by 2-3 weeks, so I think they will wrap up by mid april

 

[mahdi.taye59]

Any current GCSOM students on this thread? I am a recently accepted student who has a few questions about the program!!

 

[RMagnet]

Withdrew my A today. Hope the spot goes to one of ya'll, good luck!

 

[talyn86]

Recently withdrew my A as well. Good luck everyone!

 

[YoloSwagCats]

Withdrew my A too; hope one of you gets it!

Alternate list just now! Interviewed 2/12. This is the actual waitlist right? lmao

Yeah I assume they opened their waitlist

 

[MedMango]

Anyone know when 3/1 interviewees can expect to hear back? Also it’s only emails for acceptances, regular mail for anything else right?

 

[LA_CPA]

Was deferred about 2 weeks ago.... anyone think I’ll hear back soon? I guess, they are required to give me a decision right?

I think a lot of people are in your boat, I was also deferred then. I think we will have to hear back by the end of April with some sort of decision!

Did you receive this message in the mail?

 

[kwsx1]

Did you receive this message in the mail?

Via email! I'm pretty sure only rejections come via snail mail

 

[moonrocket23]

Got the alternate list email 2 mins ago. Interviewed 1/6, deferred 3/3. UGH more waiting

Same exact thing ^^^^ UGH. So they can pull from the waitlist until around July?

According to last year's thread, seems like people were getting accepted off the WL until late June and mid-July. Seems like I need to start planning for the other school I got into but the thought of mentally committing to it and then possibly getting off the WL that late is crazy

 

[Julatteluver]

I thought Geisinger released decisions in batches, but I guess not anymore?

 

[plsletmein2021]

I'm worried about looking in the mail now lol

Does Geisinger put a rejection letter in the Communication Status tab in their application too?

 

[Julatteluver]

it's actually email for everything except for rejection (snail mail)

apparently nothing on your portal changes if you are rejected but not 100% sure

soo nervous haahhahahaha

 

[futuredoc738]

Anyone get accepted after being deferred yet?

 

[TangoLimaNov]

Just alternates so far today? Anybody land an acceptance in these last two batches?

 

[anarchymed]

Withdrawing my spot on the alternate list. Good luck everyone!

Same boat here... I am really hoping for this school

 

[HopefulMed123]

So what does this mean for people who are on the deferred list that didn't get put on the alternate list?

 

[strawberrygrl69]

WL today. Interviewed in October and deferred in December.

Did you just receive the email?

 

[strawberrygrl69]

Did you just receive the email?

No it was this morning

 

[HopefulMed123]

Wait so... if I didn't get any email today, does that mean R ? sighhh
I interviewed in mid feb.

It could also mean that they haven't gotten back to us yet too? Trying to be optimistic lol

 

[deme3]

Maybe it means an A? Hahah I’m also just grasping at straws here so optimism till the end. Maybe this website is bad for me

 

[HopefulMed123]

That is honestly what I am hoping for! Never lose site of the A

A lot of people have been getting deferred. They sent out a batch of WLs today. I'd imagine they're going to accept some people too ahah

 

[HopefulMed123]

The suspense is killing me... lol

 

[bougies]

Is there a difference between the alternate list and WL? Is the alternate list higher priority or are they the same thing just different terms people are using?

 

[plsletmein2021]

People are using the terms interchangeably. I think Geisinger refers to their waitlist as an alternate list.

Thank you!

 

[deleted1066189]

deferred since march 2, but silence today?
an answer would be kinda nice at this point. waitlist or accept, would prefer some closure

 

[ohmggthissux]

I've been deferred since November and haven't heard anything since. Concerned that I received a rejection in the mail that somehow got lost and that it isn't showing up on my portal

 

[mhurst2021]

Interviewed 10/30, deferred on 12/15 and just got the alternate list email now
