Just FYI in case it helps anyone: I sent an update to Einstein yesterday in a pdf attachment (since that's what other schools had asked for) and got an email back today saying that they only accept updates in the body of an email or as a word doc. In any case, it does seem like they're looking at updates, at least in theory! :xf:

what email did you send it to?

Hey guys! I'll be interviewing in a couple of weeks and wanted to ask, what's the best way to get to Albert Einstein from LaGuardia airport? I'll be flying in quite early the day before so I won't be in any rush; I'd probably prefer the cheapest method. I'll be landing in the early afternoon, if that helps. Thanks so much! :)

Taxi is by far the easiest. Public transportation is bad out of LGA and not very good immediately around Einstein. You can avoid a lot of stress by just taking a cab and hanging out at an Italian cafe in the area while you wait.

I agree with pageantry public transportation from the LGA is extra stressful. I am from NYC and getting to Einstein can be difficult because not many trains go directly there. Just take a cab so you don't stress about making it on time.

Thank you both! Would you happen to have a rough idea of what the fares are, one way?

Turquoise's estimate sounds about right to me, after tip and toll.

It was around $40 for me from AECOM to LGA. So I would assume the same going the other way. You might also want to look into Uber but I don't know how it works with tolls.

If you have a smartphone, use the map app and switch it over from the "car" mode to "public transport/walking". I arrived pretty early the day before my interview and used Google maps to route me to Manhattan. I explored the city and then took another bus to get to my host's apartment in the Bronx in the late afternoon. Be sure to fill up your MetroCard with a good amount of money and give yourself plenty of time to travel.

II now, complete in mid-Aug. Does anyone have thoughts on the optional "special interest" meeting in addition to the interview?

I thought they had been going in chronological order, but it looks like they've jumped back two months to send out II's.

Someone told me they go in chronological order for applications they "know" they want to interview until the application deadline closes. At which point they spend time to rank all the remaining applications and then send out II's chronologically to the individuals "ranked" high enough. Just what someone who goes there told me, not sure how true it is.

I was wondering if anyone who has interviews coming up would like to do a mock interview session over Skype. We'd interview each other and provide feedback and advice. I've done a couple of these already with people form SDN and they seem to be very mutually beneficial. PM me if you're interested and we can set something up soon!

Dude, how many threads are you going to post this on? Why not just start your own thread for mock interviews....
