I have the same status...it's probably a system glitch.

My guess is that this means that, for people with this status, the decisions have been made and entered into the computer. They are probably not made visible until after a certain date (presumably Jan 15 or 17). I'm only guessing this because of the sequence of very recent status changes beforehand (from presenter's notes complete, to file with committee, and whatever else came next).

That probably wasn't particularly insightful- you've all also probably already thought about this haha

Anyway, good luck to everyone over the next week or 2!

Lol I hope not! My status is still "about to change"...I want to go to AECOM so bad! haha.

Hey there,

It's been a while since I've seen you post.

Is AECOM your top choice? I actually liked it a lot too... but sadly it all comes down to price tag and having gotten into my state school, I gotta be insane to pay 3-4x as much to go most other places. In any case, it would be nice to have that option and hope fin aid works out.

Hey! AECOM is my top choice at the moment, especially since I have not yet heard anything from Cali school. I'm heading next week to Montreal to interview at McGill (which is also a top choice if AECOM doesn't work out), but the chances of me actually getting in there are slim.

I am wondering though, do you also have the "can't find your app status" on your page?

Good luck to everyone in the coming week!

Last year they sent out decisions via email at like 5am on the day they were suppose to come out.

My advice to everyone that gets a favorable decision is to continue with all schools that you'd realistically go to and see what sort of fin. aid they give. Einstein FA was really good to me, the same for some other classmates.

On top of that, Einstein is just amazing - a special place where you learn a lot without any stress. Good luck with everything and again, if anyone has q's about einstein feel free to msg me.

When does Einstein interview until? Or when is it too late to receive an interview invite? I haven't heard much from them since preliminary screen completed and really hope to receive an interview!

According to their website they interview through April. However, they have been giving up interviews far ahead of time all throughout the cycle, so I would imagine they are done giving out invites. As of late Novemember-December they were giving out invites for March. But, I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise.
 
Anyone else interviewing on the 19th? I'm staying at the Herald Square Hotel...if anyone wants to split cab ride, etc or hang out in Manhattan on the 18th, let me know.
 
i hope they are still considering people for interviews because for the first time in ages, my status has finally changed to "file under preliminary review." even though it doesn't mean anything, i'm excited just because it's been forever since einstein did anything to my file/status update.

When did you submit your secondary?

I got an interview invite not too long ago for the beginning of March, so I think there's still some hope considering they are interviewing through April.
 
omg my status just changed from 'file complete' to 'preliminary screening complete' i prob have no hope...ugh i really like this school. im just going to continue to pray for a miracle
 
im curious to know if people have actually received rejection letters😕 or they just do silent rejections and during the summer send the rejection notifications?
 
I'm guessing that if some decisions might be going out this week, but my status is "file with committee", that the committee is not getting to me in time for this first round of potential acceptances?
 
I know the adcom told us Jan 15 is the day we will find out about our decisions. Having no acceptances so far, I have been looking forward to this date for a while. But do you really think there is a chance that they will send out the emails on a Saturday? Not only is it a weekend but it is also Shabbat. Would they have told us Jan 15 back in Sept/Oct/Nov without having considered this?

I'm pretty sure you can program the server to send mass emails at a specific time, so the adcom can program it Friday to send the emails on Saturday. That's what I'm banking on anyway...I'm also anticipating tomorrow!
 
If one interviews on 12/02/10... would it be unreasonable to hear back so soon as tomorrow?
 
I called the admissions office yesterday and they told me that decisions for the first group of interviews were being mailed today, not tomorrow the 15th. Then I asked is that going to be email and snail mail and she thought yes, but for sure snail mail today.
 
They did out via email today. I got waitlisted. Does antone familiar with the process know how to proceed from here in terms of showing them my interest, since they are my number one choice?

Thanks a lot!

When did you interview?
 
I just got the waitlist email as well, and I'm obviously pretty disappointed (interviewed two months ago). From last year's thread, it seems there isn't much WL movement at all, but I'm hoping that won't be the case this year. Anyone have any further insight?
 
This might be just a theory but are they sending out all the WL's today and Accept/Rejects tomorrow?

sounds to me like wait-list notifications are sent via email and acceptance/rejection letters are snail mailed... maybe...

Not sure, BullDog4Eva. I interviewed on the 3rd myself, and my status says "Presenter's notes complete and ready for meeting." That makes me think I will have a decision released after the next committee meeting, but who knows when that will be? Could be the same for you, perhaps. If you're in the same boat I think we will get our decision within a week of Jan 15th, maybe two weeks.
 
I checked my status online and it says is "Interview Report Submitted"... guessing I have a long way until they make a decision.

They've emailed acceptances in the past..so I'm not too sure, unless things have changed this year.
 
just got an acceptance email
interviewed 10/12
 
I just got the waitlist email, but I withdrew. I hope more people hear some (better) news from Einstein today!
 
Congrats to all of you hearing good (or at least positive) news today!
 
Hm, interviewed mid october and havent heard anything yet...anyone else?
 
interviewed in Sep, still haven't heard back...
Have they sent out rejections yet?
 
I interviewed in September and haven't heard anything either
 
Accepted today as well Congrats to all accepted
 
My status has said "interview report submitted" since a couple days after my interview (12/6). Does anyone know the the statuses that follow?
 
Interviewed 12/10 and my status is "Presenter's notes complete and ready for meeting"

Anyone have any idea of when those of us who interviewed in early December might hear?
 
Rejected via status.

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back!
 
Accepted today!! Interviewed November 10th.
 
my status says "Waiting for more information - Committee Request"...interviewed 10/08...?
 
Do anyone of you know the URL to the application status check page?
 
Hey everyone, can someone tell me what status you get after "File Under Preliminary Review"? Also, how long it took more or less to change to this next status.

Thx! And congrats to everyone with acceptances!
 
Rejected by status page this morning.
I didn't think the interview went well.
