Sorry to hear about everyone's rejections. I haven't heard anything since submitting my secondary in August. Not sure what that means...

Same same.
My friend got it today and forwarded it to me. She and I have been through and through with each other over this process, it's been a loooong 8 months!
I regret to inform you that you will not be offered a place at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for the upcoming year. Please appreciate the fact that we received a large number of highly qualified applicants for a limited number of seats in our class. These decisions are difficult to make because of the sheer number of impressive applicants.
I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors and we hope for you much success in your professional life. Thank you genuinely for your interest in our school.
Sincerely,
Valerie Parkas, MD
Associate Dean for Admissions
Ah I see, sorry to those receiving this email...at least this sounds better than UPenn's rejection statement haha
me too, except complete late oct, anyone else?Same same.
no, based on other year's there's at least one more round.
Has Mount Sinai sent any other emails, other than the first "you have successfully submitted your online application to the MD Program..." one, pre-interview? I didn't receive an email from another school (no emails in spam/trash) and am wondering if this is also happening with Mount Sinai (just waiting for that rejection!)
That's the only email I've gotten from them. I've sent in an update recently and I didn't get a response either. This seems to be normal with MSSM.

I submitted mine 8/17, so I find it hard to believe that they haven't gotten to mine yet. But who knows...

I was complete in early October, and I haven't heard anything either. Applying to med school is oh so mysterious.

Can current students please shed some light on the quality of life in Aron Hall? Obviously in NYC pests are abound, but how bad are they in Aron Hall? Are roaches, waterbugs, mice, etc a big problem? There was a specific FAQ question regarding pests in the housing packet, so that is why I ask. BTW, I am from Georgia so we have huge roaches and rats, but they stay outside for the most part. I don't have a problem with them if they stay outside, I just don't want to be dealing with them inside. I don't even mind the large roaches all that much, it's the German roaches that freak me out more.
Are you serious? LOL. Find your own place then. Pests are a fact of life in urban city living, get over it.Can current students please shed some light on the quality of life in Aron Hall?

hehehehehe. You have huge roaches, we have huge waterbugs. In fact, they are known to, and will, clog up the faucet. The biggest problem in housing is the chupacabra, but don't worry, they are essentially the fetus of the big foot.
I called admissions today - I was told that mid/late January interviewees wouldn't here back until late February

I interviewed Jan 8th, praying I hear some good news by the end of the week!I called admissions today - I was told that mid/late January interviewees wouldn't here back until late February
Acceptance via email! Interviewed very end of January. Surprised they got back to me already. So happy! I loved Sinai when I visited!
Does anyone know about the possibility for merit scholarships? When would they tell you?

Congrats! Accepted via email as well. Interviewed at beginning of January.
congrats to all those accepted today!
has anyone been accepted yet after receiving the cryptic "you will remain under consideration" email? sinai is by far my first choice and I interviewed in mid-November, and the only news I've heard from them is that one email. does that group wait til the end to be re-reviewed or are we reviewed periodically?

I called the office of financial aid office today regarding the disbursement of funds for merit scholarships. He said we should expect to receive correspondence about Merit scholarships towards the end of March. Just Like you, money would be the only thing that can keep me away from Sinai. Loved the school when I visited.
