I was complete Aug 28!
W00t

 

[SoulinNeed]

When were you complete?

Late October or very early November.

 

[hippocratic57]

Does anyone know what the breakdown is for approx what % get accepted/re-reviewed/rejected? Also does anyone know when those of us who got the "keep in touch" letter will be re-evaluated? Just trying to put the re-review decision into the appropriate context. Thanks!!!

 

[Moldycheese432]

I interviewed early september, and I got some bogus letter from sinai saying that I was still being considered, and that the application pool is strong....did anyone that got that letter hear back from them with either acceptance or rejection yet?

 

[spf15]

Accepted. Late oct interview. So happy 🙂

 

[Member2488]

Accepted! Interviewed in late October. Sec. completed late August. 🙂

 

[Theresilientone]

For those who have received their letter of acceptance, was there any mention of merit scholarship or any other awards? Thank you.

I don't think they start sending out their merit scholarships yet. If they have, no one hasn't mentioned it here.

I received one...

Then I woke up and was like....real life sucks.

They mention it in the invitation to the Explore Sinai event. But not in the acceptance letter.

What's the Explore Sinai event?

 

[SoulinNeed]

Silly question, but what subject are we supposed to use in our confirmation E-mail? Should it be "invitation to interview at Mount Sinai School of Medicine"? Thanks.

 

[Shockwave456]

what's the explore sinai event?

+1

 

[AllDay24]

WHat email address should I address updates to? I sent one but they never acknowledged it.

 

[dwills]

What's the Explore Sinai event?

+1 and what do they say? That you will find out your scholarship/grant information at this event?

 

[jip]

It matters because it is a part of Sinai's mission along with AECOM to provide healthcare to Jewish communities in that area.

This isn't even remotely true of the institution in it's current form. Maybe this was part of the mission statement years ago, but nothing like what you're suggesting appears in our mission statement.

I'm a current non-jewish MS3 at MSSM.

 

[seeinghowitgoes]

I'm late with this one, but also got the acceptance email on 12/10 (I interviewed late October)

 

[Anonymous1604]

Has anyone who interviewed in late November receive an acceptance yet?

Are we all being pushed to the next review...

Does anyone know if the " Explore Mount Sinai event" on Jan 25 will be financed by the school? As in flights and accomodation. Thank you.

I was wondering the same thing but I don't think it will. Also, do you guys have any idea of dressing code for the event? Should we go as formal as in the interview?

Could someone please explain what this is? 🙂 Do all acceptees get invited?

 

[Theresilientone]

It is like an early second look for what Sinai called their "exceptional applicants". So, I can only assume that only a selected few were invited.

 

[Theresilientone]

I will give them a call tomorrow to ask about the funding and may be the dress code too.

Oh, ok. Thanks. Did the invitation come by email or snail mail?

Please let me know what they say. 🙂

 

[Classof2013PreM]

Oh shoot, I was accepted in October but I did not receive an invitation to Explore Sinai 🙁

Did you call them?

 

[Theresilientone]

Yes I did. I was told that there is no funding for the event

An interview invite would be an awesome Xmas present!

 

[eDITN]

Looking at last year's thread, they sent out invites all the way into February so hopefully there will be some more in the coming months!

 

[Woodchuck]

Just got the II, after secondary complete for 4.5 month. Good luck to all who are still waiting!

BTW, when the interview day at MSSM usually concludes?

congrats! can you comment on how many interview dates are available/remaining? thanks!

 

[Woodchuck]

They didn't ask me to choose, just signed me Jan 30 in the email. But they allow you to reschedule if necessary. Good luck!

 

[jujudino]

Yes I did. I was told that there is no funding for the event

thank you for checking that out! 🙂
No word on dress code right?

 

[Theresilientone]

I was disappointed in the lack of funding and became disinterested, hence I forgot to ask any further question. Sorry

 

[rjman29]

Does anyone know when the next round of acceptances is coming out?

 

[cinamin]

has anyone gotten a rejection from them yet? I thought last year they were quicker to reject people or maybe I confused them with another school.. hope they are another silent rejecter type

 

[Woodchuck]

Happy new year guys!

Just wondering whether anybody has interviewed for the 5-year PORTAL program of clinical research at Sinai? Does it have one more interview in addition to the two interviews of regular MD program? Can any current student comment on how that program works?

Thanks!

Hi! According to last year's thread, there was a post-interview rejection reported 1/11 (41S/3.8...crazy), and a big wave of pre-interview rejections that went out around 1/30, so there should be a bit of time until that starts!

I interviewed at Sinai for both MD and the PORTAL program in October. There is an additional interview - during the middle of my interview session I was pulled aside for a 15 minute interview with Dr. Zier, the director of the PORTAL and PhD program.

One of the student tour guides I had also happened to be a part of the program, so he gave me some insight on how it works. During your first two years, You basically take one extra class per semester that focuses on the fundamentals of conducting clinical research. The bulk of the actual research comes in between your third and fourth years, where you take a gap year to work on your research project, but if you are especially proactive they will work with you to find a lab during summers. Competition is pretty stiff though, they only take something like five people per year. Good luck and hope this helps!
