Just got the complete email too... after like two months. Yup, this is exactly why I paid them $120. So they can use my application as a coaster for 8 weeks after which they finally realize, "Hey, wait a minute, this is an acutal application."
The most expensive application fee, the slowest admissions office.
What I don't understand is, WHY DOES IT TAKE TWO MONTHS TO MARK A DAMN APPLICATION COMPLETE? SERIOUSLY? THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. It takes like five minutes to check if an applicant has everything in: application, recommendation letters, money. THAT'S IT.
Is it this email?
No... I received this:
We are happy to inform you that your application to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is complete, and will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
If you have applied to the combined M.D./Ph.D. Program, you will be contacted directly by that Office.
If your application is favorably reviewed during a preliminary screening, you will be invited for an interview via email. We would appreciate your not calling the office to ascertain the disposition of your folder.
We thank you again for your interest in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and wish you much success.
I hope there is a quick turn around (whether it be an interview/hold/rejection)

When did you guys submit? I'm still waiting to hear back, and I submitted 9/10. I think I read a few pages ago that interviews are extended pretty quick (2 weeks) after the completion status. As for rejections/holds I have no idea.

I just got an interview today and I've been complete since the end of August...so no, they are not necessarily given out quickly at all...
What was the earliest opening for interviews?
I think it was mid to late September..
i meant for ppl that just got the invite
I havent heard from them even though I was complete in August. With their interviews packed till mid Jan, can safely say that it would be hard to get a chance here anymore.
I requested a date in December and I got this email in response:
Dear Applicant:
All of our interview appointments are reserved through December. We have openings starting with January 11th.
Thank you.
I got an email today that they wanted letters submitted on official letterhead
seriously??
Not all schools have this specific requirement. I sent out a letter of rec not on letterhead from an instructor to basically every school on my list (I think it was her first recommendation). To my knowledge, only two of the approximately 30 schools require letters on official letterhead - AE and Boston. I am currently in the process of fixing this issue.

You don't know that LORs need to be on letterhead for all schools? I thought everyone knew that...
flip26.. seriously
are you some kind of a negativity troll?

anyone know if there are decent hotels near AECOM to stay at?

ah, so you decided to go to the interview! good luck
as far as hotels, there's nothing immediately near the school. but you can easily stay in other part of the bronx and be just a cheap cab ride (or bus/subway if you're brave) away from campus. i second flip's idea about the econo lodge.
Will the majority of people who interviewed before January 15th hear of a decision on this date? For example, I interviewed in mid-September, so will I most likely hear of a decision on January 15th?
I got the same email and they are claiming that they have not received one of my letters... Every other school has received it and it is marked received by AMCAS. Not sure what to do at this point. I feel bad asking my professor to resend the letter.I got an email today that they wanted letters submitted on official letterhead

I need to ask my professor to resend the letter on official letterhead. As for the other letter (which was optional to begin with), I will definitely take your advice and see what's going on with AMCAS. Thanks!Why would you need to ask the prof to resend?
Did AMCAS confirm that it had been delivered to AECOM? Get that time stamp and call AECOM.
Or ask AMCAS to resend it to AECOM, and then follow up with a phone call to see if they got it.
I dare you...Figured my first post ever on SDN should be a positive one. Good news for people with stats like mine, who typically see 3.9s and 38s and freak out for the entire interview season.
GPA 3.54
MCAT 30Q (10 10 10)
Maybe I'll make an mdapps someday. Maybe. Don't push me. Or do. Actually, that sounds fun. Push me.
I wonder if the entire school is this slow/backward. Still waiting on my complete email.Hah yeah, I got the complete email just now. I thought I'd been complete this whole time...
That's not nearly hedonistic enough an approach to appeal to my tastes.
