man I really hope before may 1st, i'd love to commit to Einstein. Otherwise I have to choose between schools that I really don't want to go to
wait aren’t we allowed to stay on waitlists even if we select plan to enroll somewhere else?

Yup!wait aren’t we allowed to stay on waitlists even if we select plan to enroll somewhere else?
If you look through the thread some didalso has anyone who got accepted received a scholarship here?
Anyone think we’re gonna hear any decisions this week? I know it’s total speculation but anything to look forward to, right
I wish they would at least give us an update of what's going on, or when we should expect to hear back, even if they can't make a decision right now. Being completely in the dark is just bringing me down and making me lose hope.I hope we hear back this week. I kinda just want it to be done with at this point.
has anyone done an online/zoom interview here and can give some tips and say about how long it was?
Did your interviewer mention anything about when we should expect to hear back?I have done the online zoom interview. It was extremely chill and lasted about 45 minutes to an hour for me.
If you look back in the thread they answer that question!Did your interviewer mention anything about when we should expect to hear back?
Last year they sent "still interested?" emails on a Thursday and then people got accepted on Monday, but who knows? (*me looking through last years thread like a crazy person)Anyone think we’re gonna hear any decisions this week? I know it’s total speculation but anything to look forward to, right
Are they still interviewing? This late?has anyone done an online/zoom interview here and can give some tips and say about how long it was?
My interview was supposed to be in March, but my rescheduled zoom interview isn’t until next week. I’m assuming (and hoping for my sake a little haha) that this might delay them giving any decisions/pulling people off the waitlist until May 1st because they still haven’t interviewed everyone yet but who knows.Are they still interviewing? This late?
Welcome to the club old friend. Interviewed late Feb no response, no one has an idea when we might hear back, they won’t answer any phone calls or emailsInterviewed early February after their first wave of email acceptances, and haven't heard anything since. Anyone else in the same boat/do you think we'll hear back before April 30?
just curious, what did you email them about?IDK if I even want to go here anymore it's been 10 days since I emailed them and haven't heard from them and they don't answer phone calls. If they're out of office, why not put an out of office email or voicemail??
And they say they are very receptive to students' needs...
I sent in an update too on Friday afternoon and got a response in about 10 minutes, so parts are definitely still moving along! I can only imagine that phones aren't working because people aren't at the office, and the admissions office email might be backed up sorting out decisions and post-pandemic interviewsSent an update on Friday and just got an email saying it was acknowledged. But I also sent one tw months ago and never got an email reply
I mean I understand this, it’s a difficult time for everyone and Monti is hit hard, and it’s hard to adjust. A week, 2 weeks of being backed up is acceptable, but it’s been like 7 weeks since any decisions were released. And honestly even before coronavirus they were known for being notoriously slow. It’s just frustratingI sent in an update too on Friday afternoon and got a response in about 10 minutes, so parts are definitely still moving along!

I have not lol but just wondering when you say "emailed Dean Kerrigan" do you mean emailed her directly or emailed the admissions email?Has anybody who received the "Rolling Admission: Follow-Up" on 4/16 and emailed Dean Kerrigan gotten a response from her? Acknowledgement of receipt?
I emailed her directly. The email I got says "However, if Einstein remains one of your top 3 choices, please email me, directly, by Friday, May 1." Maybe I should have cc'ed the admissions email?I have not lol but just wondering when you say "emailed Dean Kerrigan" do you mean emailed her directly or emailed the admissions email?
Yes! They thanked me for my reply about an hour after I replied saying I was still interestedHas anybody who received the "Rolling Admission: Follow-Up" on 4/16 and emailed Dean Kerrigan gotten a response from her? Acknowledgement of receipt?
Seriously? I never got a response when I said that.Yes! They thanked me for my reply about an hour after I replied saying I was still interested
Did you send it to the admissions email or only to the dean?Yes! They thanked me for my reply about an hour after I replied saying I was still interested
I clicked reply to the email and it went directly to Dean Kerrigan, not admissions. She's the one who replied saying thanksDid you send it to the admissions email or only to the dean?
I sent it directly to her on Thursday and she responded like an hour or two later saying she hoped to have good news for me soonHas anybody who received the "Rolling Admission: Follow-Up" on 4/16 and emailed Dean Kerrigan gotten a response from her? Acknowledgement of receipt?
I wouldn't worry, there's clearly a lot of inconsistency (even between the responses that were given out).oh no no no now I'm freaking out lol I also replied to the email and said I was interested the day it was sent but NO RESPONSE FOR ME
I just sent an update letter in the same thread and got a response so feeling a bit better
Yeah, she just said thank you and stay safe.did you get a response from Dean Kerrigan? Also didn’t get a reply.
Oh boy no response for me either...oh no no no now I'm freaking out lol I also replied to the email and said I was interested the day it was sent but NO RESPONSE FOR ME
If it’s any assurance to anyone; I think their hands are tied until at least the April 30th deadline where accepted applicants can officially commit to enroll and pay a deposit. Anyone that is currently accepted has until April 30th to pay a $100 deposit and secure their spot. Many accepted applicants will turn away the offer for other schools and this allows the admissions office to re-evaluate how many hovering acceptances there are, how many students have committed to enrolling and how many NEW acceptances need to be sent out to satisfy a desired enrollment. It’s just a numbers game, and this April 30th date is key for med schools to figure out where they stand in terms of their desired enrollment. Come April 30th, I anticipate their will be a new wave of acceptances sent out not just from Einstein but many med schools.
I'm just curious, how do you know Einstein has only accepted 200 people?You are correct however, Einstein has only accepted 200 people ish, or one class worth of students. Many other schools may choose to accept around double their matriculation by now, with waitlists topping off their numbers for a full class after April 30th. If Einstein waits until April 30th, they realistically will have only 50 people still committed from the February first round of decisions, maybe less. These are just rough numbers. In previous years, Einstein has accepted a second round of students by now to fill spots that were most likely vacated by students before the April 15th date. So, their hands are definitely not tied. They probably don’t have a full class of students. However, we are uncertain how much the pandemic is affecting them so this year should be flexible for everyone regardless. Every school operates differently with acceptances. It should be encouraging that there are still plenty of acceptances left!

So if they are waiting around to the 30th to release more acceptances/WL spots, people who are gonna receive an R should hear before then right?
Hmm, at this point i'm just going to stop speculating and just go with the flow.I honestly have no idea about the rejections. It seems that’s in waves too. But this year is very different than their normal schedule.
I wishAny news?
