Hey What's up everyone?

I was wondering--I went to several different universities to get my pre-reqs, and I'm not sure if Albert Einstein needs a committee letter from each one.

Does anyone know?

Thanks, and good luck!:xf:

no one has multiple committee letters, I dont understand what you are really saying.......your university will compile your lors and then write one committee letter....
 
So I couldn't find Einstein's pre-req's anywhere on their website, and I saw on the school selection spreadsheet that they require at least 4 credits of Biochem (lecture and lab). Is this for real? I have 3 credits of Biochem...I wonder if 1 credit will really keep me from applying there...

I doubt it; I think they want you to take 1 course. At some uni 1 course in bio chem = 3 cred, at some = 4 credits. As long as you have a course in biochem you should be fine.
 
Disgusting. The secondary app fee is $120.

I thought average was ~$75?

was trying to be nice :(

but seriously, we all have stuff that makes us unique, and people like ksmi and me are praying for acceptances just like everyone else. because everyone has something to offer.

You haven't received an e-mail from them about their secondary right?

I think you can pay before hand. On the secondary, theres a place to write some sort of code they give you after payment. They wont look at the secondary unless it has that code confirming payment.
 
BlueElmo said:

I haven't but like Elijah stated, you are allowed to make payment anytime. There is a payment code sent to you from GWU which you put on the application.

I think I'm going to wait until they send me an email. It feels weird making a payment when they haven't even acknowledged my app yet.:laugh:

Hmm, my over-zealousness seems to have paid off - when I submitted the "$125", they just charged me $1 :D

...or maybe I'll find out I've wasted $1 when they disregard the payment...

(anyone else had this happen to them...??)

It is for this cycle; the first option is "Deferred Admissions from 2009 class". Probably, the date at the end was not updated or overlooked.

I saw that too...im just going to wait until I get the actual email from aecom to fill it out.
 
Just in case some of you were planning to turn this in soon, I would recommend waiting. They 'request' students to not submit the secondary until they get an official email from Einstein. Did anyone here get one already?

Eesh, have to call them tomorrow and hope they didn't completely just disregard that... and can't wait to call bc their office is oh so friendly :rolleyes:(note the sarcasm)
 
3.4 gpa

no, i don't think that's such a good idea... website says specifically not to.


anyone wanna help me out with this decision?

to possibly lose 31 dollars... or around 150.... :confused:

depends on your stats i guess haha, but as a bonus to losing 150, no essays!

and i would strongly advise people who are sending in secondaries before receiving official invites to NOT do it, not just to Einstein but any school

No one can tell you with out litearlly looking at your entire amcas primary application. On paper a 3.4 and a 29 mcat isnt going to help and it would seem its going to be hard to get in this cycle as your gpa is far below average and your mcat is slightly below average. That being said there are hundreds each year like you who are accepted. Dont listen to much to what random pre meds who do not know your situation. GPA and MCAT wise things dont look good...but you may have other things going for you such as upward trends, adversity you have had to overcome, URM status, ECs, good essays, or an overall interesting story and path you have had in your life. You never know who will get in and wont, so if you are interested in aecom go for it. Its not like they dont accept people with 29 mcats.

my GPA sucks too man... we'll see. im still gonna apply because the median range reported in MSAR for accepted students is ok.
 
DO NOT SUBMIT UNTIL INVITED

Like I mentioned earlier (although no one seemed to notice :( lol )
I was stupid enough to submit payment and all before I noticed the application said 2009 and I just got a call from the admissions people that "you are so stupid" (well not verbatim).

Good news for you: the fee is actually going down bc the lady said I will be getting a refund.

Bad news for me: we have an outgoing mail thing at my house and I got the call from the admissions office while at work and didn't have a chance to tell my mom to not send it out. Now they are going to get a paper secondary from me too after they told me SEVERAL times to not submit.... I would be insanely surprised if i got an interview now as if my chances weren't slim enough... F.M.L.
