Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry, I do not know any student over there. Is any hotel nearby the school?

I'd like to know this as well, although I'm under the impression that WL=Rejection.
Has anyone been rejected post-interview so far??
If you look back to mid January, when the wave of first decisions were released, then yes, people were rejected post-interview.
Rejected today, pre-interview. Oh well.
I literally got the email as my plane landed for my NYMC interview.

Those of you who got interviews @ AECOM, can i ask you how your scores were? thanks!

just got the pre-interview axe via email
Just got the post-interview axe in the mail today. I was looking forward to living in NY 🙁
same here... it seems that Einstein has stopped sending out interview invites a while ago. i wonder if they give out pre-interview rejections alphabetically 🙁
Late January
Rejected from Einstein this morning, pre-interview. Sent a good interest letter/update letter a month ago, but I guess it didn't work lol. Maybe they never acknowledged it either.
uh i was rejected a week ago post interview by mail!
I've got an Einstein interview on the 24th of March. Of the schools at which I have received an interview, Einstein is my top choice. However, I've also received a full scholarship at SUNY Upstate including one year of free housing.
At this point, I'd only consider choosing Einstein if the tuition cost was substantially reduced (say ~$20K per year as opposed to $46K). How likely do you think it is to receive a large aid package from AECOM? Do you think it's more likely if I mention my other offer? Do you guys think it's even worth it to interview here anymore?

Noooooooo do not tell them about your other scholarship offer during your interview. Wait until you are accepted to multiple schools, and then you bring up the scholarship and watch them fight over you.

I was complete in October and still haven't heard a peep, rejection or not. I would hope they wouldn't keep people around hoping even though they know all interview dates are passed/full. Only thing to do is wait some more.

I'm not applying this cycle, but I'm going to apply in June. Quick question: how strict are they on having 1 of your LOR come from a prof in your major's department? I know that some schools are lenient on this requirement... is AECOM one of them? Thanks!
you didn't get a confirmation email? i just sent an update letter as well as got my professor to write an updated letter of recommendation just last week...and they responded saying that it'll be in my file....im not sure how good it will do....seeing as yours was not helpful.. 🙁
i really hope i get in...at least an interview to give m some false hope.
anyone can shed some more light on einstein?Rejected this morning pre-interview. Was expecting it.
For those who have already interviewed at Albert Einstein, how long can we usually expect the interview to be in duration?
Does the interviewer (I am assuming there is only one) have a copy of both your AMCAS application and your secondary application on hand?
Many thanks!

You do have one interviewer. Mine lasted somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes (sorry, it was awhile ago). It might have gone longer, but my interviewer was a clinician and seemed extremely busy (had to wait for some time while he finished some work, then someone came in and told him he was "needed" as soon as possible, which ended our conversation). I would expect anything from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your interviewer.
I'm pretty sure that he had read my file, but not sure about the secondary (not brought up, but there wasn't anything too exciting on mine).
So, I've already interviewed at AECOM. Received an e-mail today inviting me back to the school to undergo a second interview. Anybody have any experience with this? I live pretty far away (and I'm pretty poor), do you think I could suggest a phone interview?
The interview was about 45 mins for me.. they have a copy of your file which includes anything you've sent them (letters, recc letters, and AMCAS application)..There was no secondary essay for Einstein so I don't know if it is that important to be read.. but I assume they probably looked at it!
Whaa? I haven't heard of this happening. Did you request a second interview, or complain about your first?
Nope. In fact I felt like my interview went pretty well.
I found this thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=12932 where someone had a similar experience, but it's from 2001. I cannot find anything else on SDN.
On Einstein's admission website I found this: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/admissions/page.aspx?id=772 where, in the last line, they state "Occasionally, the Admissions Committee invites applicants back for a second interview if further information is needed."
I'd appreciate it if someone with a similar experience would chime in. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're concerned with anonymity. Thanks!
Interesting. Sorry I can't be more of a help, but if it were me, I would call the admissions office and explain, and maybe they'll offer to do it over the phone. It sounds like they do this for a very specific reason (they want to know something), and flying to NYC to answer a question that can be answered over the phone seems pretty extreme. Worth a shot to ask, IMO...

Have any post-interview decision e-mails gone out today? They seem to have switched to every other Monday, so I was thinking there'd be e-mails going out today?
i would like to know this as well. i personally have not received anything...
No, but you can contact the admissions office and they'll set you up with a student to shadow for the day.
