I was asked about my transcript because they are about to review my file. I interviewed a few months ago so apparently they haven't been reviewing files in order. So it's not all bad if you haven't heard anything, just be patient!

Wondering if you ever heard back from them?
 
Has anyone tried calling and asking the admissions office to check if there have been any interview cancellations for the possibility of an earlier interview date?
 
II today for early April. Can any current students comment on the likelihood that I will be interviewing for the waitlist? Thanks.

I've been trying since december. So far, nothing.
 
Well, just got rejected. That was fast...I interviewed last Wednesday 1/23. I really didn't hit it off with my interviewer AT ALL so I can't say I'm not surprised, but wow. Ok then. Oh well.
 
has anyone been rejected pre interview? I haven't heard a thing from YU since they said my application was complete back in Aug.. Thoughts?

Yes I submitted a thank you letter. It's the prudent step to take after all your interviews.

And to the other poster send it to admissions. They'll do with it as thy please. Why limit yourself to just dean Karaganda seeing it?
 
So it turns out I can't really afford to interview here, so I think I will be canceling my interview on Feb 15th if anyone wants to try and grab an earlier date.

Einsteins curriculum isn't based on organ systems, it follows the traditional course layout common to most schools.

Most students I've spoken to are pretty happy with the curriculum so far. (I'm a MS1)

Instead of being thrown into anatomy as your first course, you start off with Histology which gives you a nice background and foundation before starting anatomy 2 months into the semester. People are generally very happy with how this is set up.

Einstein has a really good setup for the first year curriculum, the classes are well set and you are given tons of times before exams to prepare. Overall I would say that the student happiness with the overall curriculum is high!

Einstein Curriculum is very well organized. There is a nice blend of small group, lecture, and lab. This should definitely be a plus for those deciding to come here.

I've heard of some classmates who got a straight up acceptance, and had interviewed after January.. So I can't say how many/what %, but it definitely can happen though!
Click to expand...

Yeah....I have plenty of friends who interviewed after Jan. and got accepted right away! So come!
 
Rejected on 1/31. Interviewed December 12th. No worries though Congrats to all who will be attending 😀

There decision time makes no sense. some people have heard back with acceptance, rejection, or WL within a week. While others who interviewed before thanksgiving haven't heard anything.

I interviewed in September and still haven't heard back. My guess is the non-hear-anything-ers are the mediocre applicants that they're waiting and seeing whether to reject or waitlist depending on other applicants they interview in the meantime.

Isn't that what a wait list is for? 😕
 
I have my II on 2/25 - it will be my first time in NY from FL. For those of you who have interviewed, what was the experience like? any recommendations as far as preparation?

they seem incredibly accommodating to interviewees and answered all of my emails quickly. this is my number 1 choice (suffice it to say i was ecstatic when I got the II email 😀) so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

sup batman. It will be a pretty short interview day since they don't do all the presentations and whatnot. Just a tour/lunch with med students and I think they usually do pretty short interviews, mine was very short. Make sure to give yourself time to find the interview. and try to get into the city and see some cool New Yorky stuff while you're there!
good luck!

Thanks for the quick response! i should be getting to LGA around noon Sunday, then shuttle down to campus and find the apartment i'll be staying at in student housing. should give me plenty of time to relax pre-interview and get a good night's sleep for Monday. i'm planning on leaving Monday night.

btw did you schedule to meet with a researcher, dean, financial aid director, etc.? I know it says you can email [Ms. Pace] a week in advance if you're interested and i'm thinking about taking advantage of any chance they give me to put my foot in the door

Dude, u get 10,000 points for the awesome name!

I'm an MS1 here and sometimes walk around with the group on tour, so if I'm around on Monday I'm def gonna ask about chalupa batman hahaha

Good luck!!
 
Anyone call admissions and ask if earlier interview dates are possible (if people drop them)?
 
Anyone else interviewing this Friday?

I'm staying at the LaGuardia Airport Hotel the night before and have that shuttle thing reserved to bring me to Einstein the next morning if anyone would like to split that with me! 🙂

If you call they just tell you to email emilia.
I did that... like 5000 times.
After 2 months I was able to reschedule, but only because a SUPER nice SDNer told me what time they planned to drop their interview, so I sent an email at the same time.
