I totally agree!!! I got an II within a week at a school that I applied to in October bc of my ECs and personal statement. I messed up on my mcat so my LM isn’t that high but I’ve already gotten accepted to schools where people with way higher stats haven’t heard a thing!!

Does anyone know how long the interview season is at Einstein (aka how long invites go out until)?

Med student here who does interview lunches: we interview into mid to late April and send IIs out through March or so. I interviewed in April myself so you still have a solid shot late in the cycle.

I see the match list is impressive in terms of the programs, but if you didn’t want to do residency in New York, would that be hindered coming out of einstein? 90% of the 2018 matches were either NY or CA
 
Also I have a hunch that this year traffic day and beyond is going to be absolutely wild at Einstein, seeing how much they use their waitlist

For those that submitted updates post-interview, did you receive a confirmation email to confirm it was received and added to your app file?
 
II! Complete email received in November. LM ~70.

Do people outside the NE or without any ties have a realistic shot here? I’ve heard that they give some preference to people with ties to the NE

Also would I be set back if I came to AE and did not want to necessarily stay in NY for residency?

That kind of preference seems unlikely from a private school in NYC. It could be that more NE people apply or attend.
 
Has anyone heard back in terms of rejections?

This may have been asked before, but does anyone know until when they usually give out interviews? in other words, is it a done deal or still hope left?

Also does this school give pre-II rejects?

Thanks!
 
till march

Based on past years, it seems that any interviews after December or so are for the waitlist and high-priority waitlist. What will be the difference between those two, and how can we maximize our chances of coming off? I’m not too unhopeful because I realize very well that Einstein uses their waitlist heavily.

Hi fellow interviewees,

Who did you send thank you notes too? To the admissions email or directly to the email address of your interviewer? They provided us with admissions email and mailing address for interviewer. I don’t want to do snail mail but don’t want to seem intrusive by emailing directly

At least on my interview day, they only gave us the option of snail mailing, so that's what I did.

need somebody to talk me down... is it out of line to send a letter of interest before even receiving a II? I don't have any substantive updates but I'm really interested in Einsten and still haven't heard anything :(

Nothing to lose at this point, I think (do they have any interview days left?).

I wouldn't. They know you have an interest because you applied. Letters of intent are a post-ii thing

As said a couple times before in this thread, they interview until April.

If you can think of ANYTHING to update them on then I would say go for it. If it’s just a love letter to the school it’s probably not worth it
