No problem! Interviewed 3/23. Rolling Admission email on 4/15. Still interested email today. Never sent an LOI either

If we were on the original HPWL/still interested email wave should we lose hope at this point?

There’s prob people who can speak to this more specifically at Einstein than me, but my perspective would be that you shouldn’t!

They are trying to build a class with diverse backgrounds/interests, so I would expect this process to look a little random from the outside because they aren’t necessarily reviewing and admitting people sequentially
 
Just got the rejection email, placed on regular WL in the first February wave. Would've loved to go here, but at least I'm incredibly happy with my state school. Good luck to everyone else!

Albert Einstein - FINAL STATUS

We write to you now to inform you that we have, regretfully, removed your application from further consideration. We assure you that we were very impressed with your credentials, and were delighted to have met you. The 2021 year was an extremely competitive year with an increase of almost 25% in the number of applications. Einstein was fortunate to have received applications from many wonderful applicants, like you.

Oh damn! I'm really sorry. If you don't mind me asking, how did they say they don't think they have many spots left?

"This year, the dynamics of the process have changed drastically, and we think it unlikely that there will be many places available in the coming weeks."

Just received this:

“This email comes to inform you that the Committee on Admissions was very favorably impressed with your application, and delighted that we had the opportunity to meet you. At this time, however, we are not able to provide you with a final decision; we hope to have a more definitive answer for you in a few weeks.”

Any thoughts? Did anyone receive this and later get placed on the HPWL?

What was the subject line?
 
March update straight to still interested email today at 6:30pm EST. Super shocked since the update emails seemed like soft Rs until now.

Still Interested email today! Mid-April interview, early May HPWL/Rolling Admissions.

If I already sent a letter of intent after the HPWL email, what should I include in this response? I did mention that I had applied to present an abstract at a major conference this fall and since then I heard back that I was accepted for a platform presentation, so I feel like that's pretty prestigious. Should I include that or is it not worth more professional updates at this point?

Side-note, that abstract acceptance came the evening of the day that the round of A's went out last week so I guess it's a little good karma cause I was beating myself up about not hearing anything from AECOM that day. Then again, going to med school may very well mean I won't be able to attend the conference to present anyways 🤷‍♀️.

Jan interview -> Regular WL (Feb) -> Silence for me. I can't find the rejection. Not in spam either.


Anyone else on the regular WL still standing?

"Thank you for having accepted a place on our wait list. Now that April 30 has past, and students who were holding multiple places have been asked to narrow their choice to one school, we are emailing you to see if you remain interested in joining us at Einstein, should a place come open? If you have already been accepted to your first choice school, we sincerely congratulate you, and ask that you let us know that you wish to be withdrawn from further consideration by emailing XXX.

If Einstein remains your top choice, please email me, directly, by Thursday, May 27. If you wish to withdraw, we will be sorry to lose you but we want you to select the school that is the best fit for you."

It sounds like they want to add you to the HPWL but they don’t see the point at this time because of how little movement the HPWL has had so far

Agreed. I wonder how many people they have on "June Update" status right now. Definitely better than regular waitlist. But seeing as some people have gone straight from "March Update" to "Still Interested" status, I'd say this is on par with HPWL since they're drawing from both pools for the next A wave.

I got this same email too...since they said movement is slow and they havent added us to the alternate list yet, would they have to go through the entire HPWL before considering us? Unsure what this means

I can't tell if it means that they're waiting for a spot to open for us on the WL or if they're just considering us actively for acceptance right now instead of putting us on the WL.

I just got the same "As June approaches" email and did interpret this as an "I want you, but we really can't have you yet." I got that from the sentence begging us to be patient. Unfortunately, the other school I am holding an acceptance at is the military medical school and I literally need to commit to enroll in <4 days... thanks Einstein.
