Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine

How long the whole Zoom call was.

Both interviewers were really nice and the whole thing felt more like a conversation than an interview.

Read over my secondaries and school's mission.

emphasis on primary care though the match list is strong, impressed by student wellness and friendliness of faculty, but confused about clincal years

geisinger had no dedicated step 1 prep time, and doesn't have a concrete plan in place to remediate it

1 hour diversity lecture was overly hammy...students had no criticism of the school. no one could accurately inform us how the longitudinal clinical rotations worked

emphasis on student feedback, massive integrated health system, brand new facilities

sdn questions, zoom mock interviews

As a diverse applicant, I wish they had made an effort to match me with interviewers who understand my experience, or at least have faculty interviewers receptive /ask about what makes my experience and path to medicine unique

Interviewer name, whether it would be closed or open interview

I didn’t expect it to be closed interview, I don’t know if it was supposed to be. My faculty interviewer seemed distracted and in a rush to finish.

What an amazing faculty from my short experience. I never thought I would be treated with so much respect and kindness in a medical school interview. Nobody talked down to me, but treated my experience as valuable and overall treated me as a peer in medicine, not an underling.

The interviewer were very porfessional, but very personable. They made me feel like I was apart of the team already. This interview shot Geisinger to the top of my list.

Practice questions

Everything was great besides the diversity lecture. The woman giving it seem quite full of herself and said the same crap over and over again.

The annoyingly long diversity lecture. Bad way to start the whole day.

The facility.

I didn't.
