you have an average gpa with slightly above average mcat, so i don't think it's because your such an overly awesome superstar. your comments in each of the school-specific threads are pretty entertaining though. i'll make sure to bow if we ever meet.

edit: also, i was accepted! maybe it's because i'm a low-life and they think i'll attend??

HA HA HA lmfao... this is too funny. Gotta love the people like nadralone.. self-entitled, everything a stereotypical pre-med is assumed to be!
 
Doc Einstein said:
Like BloodyHell said, Einstein isn't really a school about numbers. I truly believe that my classmates are phenomenal people. Ask any MS1 and MS2 at Einstein and they will all say that the students at Einstein are special in many unique ways. You won't understand that until you get here.

I personally believe that Einstein is a good fit for many of my classmates. We are all quirky, slightly weird, and HILARIOUS people. My classmates are some of the funniest people I have ever met! At the same time, we work hard, party hard, and most seems to have some global health/international health interest.

If Einstein was truly about numbers, they would waitlist you, wait for you to write a LOI and then accept you. Some of my friends got rejected from Einstein straight off the bat and didn't get waitlisted. They all went to other medical schools. They were simply not good fit for Einstein. Furthermore, there are students that got accepted today who are in your range of MCAT scores. There are students in my class with MCAT scores over 36 (even over 40). So numbers can only get you so far. There are people in my class who turned down better ranked schools because Einstein was a better fit for them.

I truly believe that if you didn't get accepted to Einstein, it means that you were not a good fit for the school. The Admissions Office pick students that they know will fit well here. My friends and I all feel that way.

Best of luck!

Oye I'm quirky, weird, and hilarious, I work hard, play hard. I'm a good fit I swear! PLEASE! I want to be a doctor!! Talk to some adcoms and tell'em!! I'D BE A GOOD FIT!!!!

Idea for how interviews should actually be conducted: 1 med student, 1 adcom, 1 applicant go to a bar and drink for 3 hours. Then you can get a really good feeling if they're the right fit.

The idea that you'll get a good feeling of who I am if I dress up in a suit and tie and you show me a tour of the campus and I sit and talk to some one for 30 min. who then writes a report and gives it to the committee is silly! SILLY! silly I say... you're silly!

... It's been a long day
 
srry for the self-entitlement comment....it really goes to show how disappointed i am.🙁

I received my email at 11:00 am.

Well, like you said, you already have a couple other acceptances, so you are in a way better position than a lot of us applicants! Also if you are dying to know, perhaps they provide feedback to rejectees
 
So does anyone know if there's any chance of interview invites still going out here? I was complete late so I'm holding out hope, though my stats are fairly unimpressive.
 
I don't suppose anyone in here just got a certiphi request right?
I wasn't accepted today and I'm trying to find the school that sent me this request

Call and ask Certiphi. They told me which school had requested it.
 
Sorry for the repeat post but I think my last one got lost a couple pages ago in another conversation.

Q: Has anyone who received an acceptance e-mail still not heard back regarding a background check? I don't think it's an issue, but the Acceptance Instructions page said that it would be sent the same day as your acceptance and I was just curious.

I also didn't get the email today. Should we email the admissions office to ask or wait it out another couple of days?

I haven't received anything about the background check yet.
Also this might be a dumb question but Certiphi emailed me about a background check requested last week (for other schools) and I released the report to them...do they email you every time a new school accepts you/requests the background check...?

Just when you think SDN is too annoying to tolerate, awesome people say awesome things.
 
Current Einstein Students - does Einstein have a second look weekend/day and if so, when does it usually take place?
 
honestly guys, I don't think we should bash on Naldrone for asking an honest question that most of us would be too afraid to ask. I thought he asked a legitimate question, and one worth thinking about - the only catch is, most people do not ask because they fear coming off as being self-entitled, which is exactly what we're wrongly accusing Naldrone of being.
 
So I received a certiphi email last night but did not receive any email from Einstein today! Is there any chance that the certiphi email was from Einstein acceptane yet to come ?? I tried calling certiphi tonight but the lady on the phone was unhelpful and so Im going to call back tomorrow morning when there are other staff to speak to.

no official second look, but you are welcome back at any time to hang out with students, etc. - just email admissions to let them know you want to take a second look visit and they will help!

I'm going to give it a day, but if I don't have it by Thursday morning I'm going to e-mail to ask. The "if it takes more then 2 weeks we'll temporarily rescind your acceptance" clause is a little worrisome since it's a 3rd party that we're relying on. Also, chasingsummers -- I'm not sure about multiple acceptances, Einstein is my only one so far and I'm out of the game now.

those that got an email from certiphi today but not from einstein are prob waitlisted and will get the email in a couple of days based on previous years the waitlist come out a few days after jan 15 also in the link to certiphi it says it's for those with conditional acceptances or who are waitlisted ....

Click to expand...

I got an email from Certiphi a week ago as well for 2 schools that require a background check (neither of the requests were from Einstein). Having received my acceptance from Einstein today, I realized that Certiphi sends these emails out after you've accepted your admissions offer. So, I think you only get an email when a new school requests it, and if more than one school request it at the same time (as in my case) you won't get multiple email requests.

thank you! So then you think we will get another Certiphi email once Einstein sees we accepted their offer?

If Certiphi doesn't send it out until you've accepted the offer, then why would the Einstein acceptance page say "you will be receiving an email from Certiphi on the day your acceptance email/letter is sent." And if the Certiphi email gets sent so retroactively (like people have mentioned it has for other schools), then how could we possibly get the Certiphi in and done within the two weeks from acceptance?

Trust me, I have the exact same concern as you do. All I know is that I only got requests from schools that I've accepted their offer, not simply schools that have accepted/waitlisted me. The time between my acceptance of their offer and me receiving the email was definitely more than 2 weeks, especially for one of the schools (I paid the deposit about a month ago) and only got the email last week. My guess is that the email is sent when the school sends a request to Certiphi, which may vary school to school. These are all assumptions and I honestly am still worried that I will not get an email within 2 weeks. But all concerns aside, all we have to do is simply call Einstein in a week if we don't receive anything and I'm sure it will all work out.

I believe you are right. I accepted the offer last night, I didnt get the certiphi request until about 10 am this morning.

Also for anyone with multiple acceptances - I just called Certiphi and while I did not receive another email from them after my Einstein acceptance, the woman on the phone did tell me that Einstein had requested a background check and that the report I already released would be sent to them automatically.

No problem. Did anyone else just get a congrats from the alumni association? It says there's an Einstein in Manhattan event on March 14th. (Or Einstein in LA on March 10th for the Californians!)
 
Waitlisted.

Had my absolute best interview of the cycle here, which goes to show how truly random this process is 🙄

Will continue waiting for einstein, as well as other schools. Best of luck to everyone who has been accepted and who will be accepted in the future 🙂

Yeah! I got that email as well. Is anyone planning to go to the March 14th event?
 
Waitlisted as well... I wonder if there is a high priority waitlist
 
6svette - refer to my post a few above! The Alumni group is hosting an event on March 14th so I think that might be the equivalent of the accepted students dinner?

LongJourney12 - I think I am going! I want to email them for more info though - I couldn't really determine whether it was more of an alumni event or an event for accepted students..?

For any one interested, I just emailed for more information on the March 14th event and here is the response that I got:

On Thursday, March 14 at 6pm, we are having a cocktail reception for accepted students (and any guests you would like to bring) and alumni in New York, at the Harmonie Club. Jack Stern, our Alumni Association President, and Martha Grayson, Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, will be speaking and we expect a really nice turnout from both alumni and newly accepted students.

I am pretty sure I'll be attending! Hope to see some of you there!

Dear .........,

I am happy to inform ...... We have decided to place your application in the "Wait list" category until we reach a final decision, which will occur sometime during the late spring / early summer. ....


LAAAAAAAAME. Is there a high priority waitlist?

Last year they held it January 22nd - surprised its so much later this year!

It's really awesome, it's at this really classy/exclusive social club in manhattan. Tons of accepted students and family. Good food/wine etc. nice to mingle with current students, accepted students, faculty etc.

After, go out and enjoy the city, it's located right near Times Square!

If you live somewhere nearby, I recommend going 🙂

Ah, sounds awesome. Thanks for the input!
 
I wish the cocktail wasnt in the middle of the semester, during the week. Oh well, gives me a reason to skip a day of classes 👍
