2019-2020 Albert Einstein

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Not to rain on anybody’s parade, but...
I interviewed on Monday and received the emails Tuesday and Friday. I highly doubt receiving these emails has anything to do with the admission decision.
I was told that after interviewing, my file goes to a third reviewer who will summarize my app + interviewer’s notes and recommend me as high priority or regular (so he basically meant I interviewed for the WL :/ ). He also said not to expect a response before the end of the month because they’re on break.

Hope this eases your nerves!
Do you mind posting or PMing when you were supposed to interview? Just curious if they are going chronologically from first cancelled interview date or some other ranking?

I was scheduled to interview in mid-March

I was one of the first interview dates that was canceled and I just got an email to reschedule to this week. I think they are just going in order of date I wouldn’t worry too much I bet they’ll reach out really soon!
 
does anyone know what percentages of HPWL and normal WL which typically eventually get an A?

Not sure what exact percentages but it seems like a majority of HPWL were accepted at least on SDN the last 2 years. No idea about the normal WL as this seems to vary year to year. I’m assuming Einstein will have to accept more from waitlists though since it seems they won’t be able to interview nearly as many people this spring like usual.

thanks! hope everyone who was scheduled for an interview still gets to

Anyone know when the admissions office will be open again? I want to submit an additional LOR but I am not sure how to submit it and want to ask them. They're currently not answering phone or email.
Passover ends on Thursday, so maybe Friday if not next week?

Is Einstein the only school you're sending the LOR?

I was supposed to interview on April 6th and so they scheduled the zoom interview for the 6th as well. I guess I got lucky?
 
Copped a tasty R today. Interviewed early march. Good luck y'all and stay safe out there!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm sorry about that R. I've copped a solid amount of those myself so I feel your pain</3. At least they're getting to early march! I wonder if anyone else got an R/any email today.
 
Got the same email! Hopefully it means we can hear back sooner rather than only after May 1st
 
I feel like they've either made A/WL decisions on March interviews and just haven't sent them out yet, or they're going to wait to put us on HPWL or the regular WL (or R) based on how many people keep Einstein as their top choice by May 1

I hope its the former and not the latter. Interviewed late feb and haven’t heard a thing.
 
No other news today then? I submitted an update yesterday and got a response saying it had been acknowledged.
 
I wonder how many people have heard back recently. We know of the one R because we were updated but no As or any other movement. It seems they really only start sending out decisions close to deadlines. So I feel like the closer to april 30th the sooner we’d hear back. I’m def not used to waiting more than a month for a reply so this is new to me lmao
