More nervous about transportation and getting to the school tomorrow than I am about the actually interview... Hmmmm
LOL I was exact same way... It was my first time in NYC ... took air train to Jamaica station then E to Lexington then grand central Harlem train to bronxville and taxi to hotel... Wasn't even bad. I even got out at Lexington and walked down thru Times Square.. Hope I get to go back again!More nervous about transportation and getting to the school tomorrow than I am about the actually interview... Hmmmm

It was a bit overwhelming for me too! I'd recommend giving yourself a good buffer in getting to/from the airport to allow for traffic, delays, etc. Not sure if you're going through JFK, but here's a good option.
Like amad01, I took
1. the airtran to jamaica
2. then the E to manhattan
3. after that though I caught the bmx10 along madison which will drop you off right in front of the admissions building and the student apartments at einstein (the eastchester stop). Here's the schedule for the bmx10: http://web.mta.info/busco/schedules/bxm10cur.pdf
You can essentially reverse those steps to get back to JFK. The admissions staff is also super sweet and helpful in helping interviewees make travel arrangements! Good luck and enjoy.
when was your secondary complete?Just got an II this afternoon!!!
I wasn't complete until 11/19.when was your secondary complete?
Just got an II this afternoon!!!
Hopping on this train! Complete 10/31
if I'm interviewing in late January, does that mean I won't have the chance to be a part of the first round of acceptances? I'd assume so. really wish I could move the day up
EDIT: this is because I've heard the first acceptances are supposed to go out in February? If this is incorrect I apologize
So, most of the straight up acceptances last year came on Jan 15th. Rejections on Jan 16th.
After that, most of the acceptances were from those on the High Priority Wait-list.
Dude, you got an interview at Einstein and it's not even January. With all due respect, shut up. There are thousands of people that would kill to be in your place. If the school likes you, they'll take you.well that's extremely disappointing. so much for February? I guess later interviews are at a big disadvantage.

One thing I would say is this process is consistent in its randomness. A lot of people say Einstein's interview is very laid back and so many feel they did well but get wait-listed or rejected because it's still so competitive. Assuming, Einstein gives out 3x as many acceptances as seats, there's a ~40% accept rate, which is okay I guess..
don't get me wrong, I'm extremely EXTREMELY grateful to be in the position I'm in, obviously. Einstein is my dream school and I'd just like to get a sense of my chances, though I can certainly understand and respect your point.
and prefacing "shut up" with "with all due respect" doesn't really make it any less disrespectful. just throwing that out there, but thanks for snapping me out of the psychotic SDN neuroticism haha
They accept about 33% of interviewees.On MSAR, it says February 1st. I'm going to check last year's thread and see how many people who had interviews close to first round of acceptances got accepted.
They accept about 33% of interviewees.
They pushed it back this year at least for now. However someone told me that their interviewer said they would try to move it up a bit.
@chillaxbro , I mean it. Chillax bro. Chillax.Dude, you got an interview at Einstein and it's not even January. With all due respect, shut up. There are thousands of people that would kill to be in your place. If the school likes you, they'll take you.
Feb 1st unless they decide they can expedite it.So can someone please clarify - are acceptances coming out Jan 15 or Feb 1st?
Feb 1st unless they decide they can expedite it.
They actually said it. But they also said they would try to release earlier if possible.Did they say this at interview day or are you just going off the msar? Feb 1 will give them a pretty small window till April 30 to get all the business done lets hope they expedite!

amongst my top choices as well... hoping for good news. A little bit of $ from the research/volunteer scholarship would really seal the dealI hope so! Can't wait to hear back. After finishing my last interview of the season last week I can definitely say Einstein is my top choice.
Any II here lately? Really hoping to hear from them soon.
Is Einstein receptive to letters of interest pre-interview?
II 45 minutes ago!!!!! The weeks of March 9 and March 16 were the only ones left.
I finished the secondary on 08/20, complete email on 11/20.AHHh congrats!!! When were you complete may I ask?
Well, guess their interview slots are all but filled up! Blah.
Received an II today and I'm still swooning. Though I'm currently extremely upset with myself because I can't for the life of me remember my secondary username! I've literally tried every username I've used since elementary school. Can someone please shed some light on where this name is displayed.
I've emailed them to try to reset it but god I feel like an idiot.

I had to the same problem -- try your email address as your username!
What I did is I went back to the secondary email and clicked on the secondary link. My browser saved my username and password. I saw my username was my email and since I have a universal password I was able to log in from there.
Mine was my email as well
