Ik this is a joke but this might be important for some people to know: we are no longer affiliated with/part of Yeshiva University (long story short we were too expensive for them so they sold us to the affiliated hospital system Montefiore a few years back so our degrees now come from Montefiore)

also for those of you who are Einstein fans there are literally pictures and these adorable cartoons of Einstein all over campus and I love it so much. here is an example:

Just under 5 months since I submitted my secondary, haven’t received a complete email yet. Does everyone’s app get reviewed eventually?

Honestly, I have no idea how they go through the applications. I submitted my secondary in the first couple of days of September and have not received the complete email either. Just the "in the process of being complete" email.
 
Same here. This lack of communication leaves a bad taste in my mouth about this school. The process is already stressful as it is, the least they could do is let us know if they have received our complete applications.
Did you guys not get the "in the process of being complete" email?
 
Anyone know what day(s) of the week they interview? And also are they interviewing during the weeks of Christmas and New Years?
 
Did anyone not get an in the process of being complete email? I haven’t gotten anything from Einstein and I submitted early August

should I call?
 
Anyone know if Einstein's interviews are open-file or closed?

Traditional open file. For what it's worth, my friend interviewed here last cycle and he said they love to grill you on past poor grades. If that applies to anyone (I know it does to me), I would go in with a well crafted response to why your grades dipped.
 
I don't get how they can justify not sending a complete email after 4+ months. I know they have high volume, but that is pretty unreasonable.
Last week I sent them an update/LOI/ITA (seeing what sticks lol) email and I got a reply within 4 hours basically saying "Thanks, we'll consider you" and I'm still not complete.
 
Is the interview supposed to be very conversation oriented? We did not really talk about my application or school activities. We briefly discussed my gap year and then spoke about education and how kids learn best for most of the interview.

Yeah, that was my experience when I interviewed and the experience of everyone else in my class I've asked. My interviewer and I mostly just reminisced over our shared alma mater. Einstein interviews are supposed to be very chill.
 
MSTP pre-II R, submitted early August.

Anyone know if getting into the MD running this late gives me any chances at all lol, they said my MSTP app shouldn't affect my MD

Sorry about your R, but congrats on still being under consideration for MD! I don't think you're late, tbh. MANY people who submitted for MD early on still haven't been verified as "complete."
 
does anyone know einstein's average mcat? median is 516, but I'm wondering what the mean is. thank you!
Not sure, but I think median is probably a better metric because there might be some outstanding candidates that have low MCATs that artificially deflate the average. Similarly there could be super high mcats that do the reverse.
 
Did you guys get an actual complete email or is the “in the process of being complete “ supposed to be a complete email? I submitted in early July and haven’t heard back besides the in the process email
