Rejected. Very surprised since I thought the interview went very well

I'm curious too. Those seem really high. From MSAR data, I got 22% in state and 14% oos

Not sure where the numbers come from but from MSAR you’d only get the matriculation rate, not the post-II acceptances rate which has to be higher to account for people who decline the acceptance or decide on another school

I don't know why people don't understand this concept yet, as many times as it's been explained.

I know these posts were from a while ago, but out of curiosity, where did you guys find these post-interview acceptance rates?

yeah the post-II acceptance rate is about that. its super low

As others explained, MSAR will only give you the matriculation rate and not the acceptance rate. Einstein interviews 368 IS and accepts 145, which is around 39.4% (US news). They interview 671 OOS and accept 184, around 27%.

yes but that is the total applicants accepted, which includes those accepted off the waitlist. so the straight post-II acceptance rate is lower without counting the WL. which is what others were saying

Its impossible to know the post II acceptance without acceptance off WL! Of course it’s gonna be lower

For those who got post II rejections, what’s your LM?

I interviewed late Nov, LM ~ 73, didn’t hear anything back. Getting pretty antsy over here. This is my top choice too, I’m wondering if I should send a LOI. Thoughts?

I think we should be hearing soon. Sending LOI before a decision is useless and they might not get a chance to read it.

Oh ya you’re right. I forgot there was a difference
 
Could you guys please put your interview dates along with Acceptance/Rejection notifications? Interviewed mid/late Jan and sweating bullets over here.

Yeah no I was already doing that but for some reason it doesn't show up on my alerts, which is annoying. Now that I've posted it does - problem solved!! Not too big of a deal 🙂
 
anyone else already accepted never get the certiphi email about doing a background check? I had already used certiphi a few weeks before for a different school so maybe it automatically sends the report to Einstein? I emailed admissions to check but they never responded....

Sometimes if you see an alert but don't actually go to the thread and read the new posts, it won't alert you the next time something is posted - it only alerts you if there are new posts since the last time you actually opened the thread. If you check under "watched threads" every now and then you might find new posts you've missed.
 
Do you guys think Einstein has given out all of its 180 seats on Feb 1st, and the rest of us will be waitlisted?

Don’t think so, not according to how they did it last year. I thought we’d hear something by today too since that’s when they released the 2nd batch of acceptances

If you’ve done it for one school already, Certiphi will not contact you again

Waitlisted this afternoon. The e-mail seemed personalized but I am not sure if I am reading into things. Interviewed mid-January.

Is there a high priority waitlist here? Mine did not indicate anything about priority.

Hey, quick question. I just received my waitlist, and on the webpage where they ask you to confirm your interest there's a box with the 'Date Waiting List sent by Einstein'. Is this the date that they mention in the email that you have to reply by, or the date that you received the waitlist email? I found this wording a little confusing and I chose the former in a hurry.

You got the waitlist email today? When did you interview?

Edit: I believe that the date is the date when you received the waitlist email!

I took it as the day you were sent the waitlist email.

Any hint they are doing multiple waitlists this year? "wait list" vs "status update" in the subject line?

(I know the existence of a distinction has been debated ad nauseam but I can't help but wonder )

Cheers. I interviewed Jan 22nd and got the waitlist email at 5 pm, yesterday.

If you don’t mind me asking, was the email subject line Einstein - Waitlist? Also did the email ask you to reply directly to it expressing interest like some did last year or was there just a link to respond?

My subject line was 'Einstein: Admissions Wait List' - I have no idea if that indicates any priority or not.

I wrote the title in the post above, and yeah - there was a link in the email where you indicate your interest (just yes or no) in remaining on the waitlist.
 
Interviewed mid-October and have not received an email yet. If they wanted to reject us, they would have rejected us right away. I am hoping that we will be in the next group to get that acceptances email. Einstein decision making is very random. Last year, they rejected people around Feb 6th. This year is around Feb 13th, 14th. Maybe they are behind a week or so?? I am just really afraid that they already sent out all of their acceptances and we will be waitlisted. 🙁

Did anyone have the guts to call and ask anything?

To confirm my interview it says "We ask that you call us at 718-430-3014 or email us at [email protected] by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the day before your interview (if your interview is on a Monday, please contact us on Friday afternoon), so that we may apprise you of any change in the time of your appointment."

So we can confirm out interview any time before the date, or have to do it on the day before our interview?

I'm assuming confirming several weeks ahead won't help because they won't know if the interviewers' schedule changes that far in advance.

i confirmed by email a few days before my interview and that was fine with them
 
I’m just curious...when I interviewed earlier this month, my interview group was like 13 guys to 3 girls. Did anyone else have that? I’m wondering if that was just a coincidence for my day.

I personally didn't notice any overwhelming majority either way. But I didn't sit there and count heads either :thinking:

I've had interviews where I was the only guy and I've had interviews where there were 75 - 80% guys. Definitely just a coincidence.
