deafening SILENCE over here

 

[sg61]

Maybe we'll hear tomorrow? Last year the As came a week after the "still interested?" email

 

[drmango10]

I think they might be waiting until all of the zoom interviews are completed. Anyone else still waiting to be interviewed? Is your interview scheduled or are you still waiting for them to get back to you?

 

[StevenBruleMD]

I had mine today, originally scheduled for 5 weeks ago

 

[damon99]

Mine isn’t until next week

 

[71650]

Mine isn’t until next week

I think Einstein has always interviewed in April but not sure if this late...maybe final decisions will come even later than we think?

I think this could be a possibility, but since Einstein always interviews until the very end of April, I think it's hard to imagine why they'd be waiting until they hear from everyone this year

Still waiting to get my interviewed scheduled...

Still waiting to get my interviewed scheduled...

Mine was supposed to be early is march, I think they’ll get to you! Shoot mary pace an email if you want she’s pretty responsive

I know that we can give up a “plan to enroll” spot after May 1st if we’re accepted off a waitlist, but what if we still haven’t even been placed on the waitlist before May 1?

I feel like there must be an AAMC traffic rule saying that by April 30 you must let an applicant know if they are on a waitlist, rejected, or accepted because we are expected to make a decision by that date...anyone know if this is true?

Not sure. Drexel, for example, in last year's thread, had applicants who interviewed and heard back after April 30th.

 

[medted]

What is the official way to withdraw? I emailed admissions a week ago but no response

Hello,
Not sure if this is the "official" way, but there is a "withdraw" button in the interview portal...

Best of luck!

They don't have to tell us anything 😡. Baylor, for example, only calls you if they are giving you an acceptance (they did not call me lol). Everyone else gets an email in the summer just saying their admission cycle is finished - - no WL/R given out at any other time.

For any accepted students, how are the financial aid packages? Do you find yourself having to pay after doing the unsubsidized and PLUS? or do they typically cover all your costs?

They typically cover all the costs with the unsubsidized and the grad plus loans!

Is this true even after you've interviewed at the school?

 

[deleted987519]

Yes, that is what their dean of admissions explained to us at the interview day

 

[StevenBruleMD]

How have people submitted post-interview updates? They don't specify on their website. I sent mine to [email protected] but am a little concerned that I haven't gotten a confirmation from them

Ive submitted post-interview updates to Ms. Dina Nardi at [email protected]

I sent mine directly to Mary Pace and got a confirmation. I think there is another place you can send it too but it slips my mind

 

[thehumanamerica]

I've submitted 2, but you should be sending updates to Ms. Dina Nardi at [email protected]!

 

[StevenBruleMD]

Thank you! Out of curiosity how did you know to send updates to Dina Nardi? I've never heard that name before haha

 

[thehumanamerica]

In the interview follow-up emails with the survey there was a blurb that updates should be directed to her!

 

[LarsWorld]

It just hit me that next week is the week of the 30th. OH BOY.

Yup, it's kinda looking like movement won't happen until after

Guys I just got the following email and have 0 idea how to interpret it, please help! Einstein is my top pick and they already have a letter of intent from me so I'm confused!!!

Update: I hit the link and it took me to a page that said accept or reject my position on the waitlist. So I think this means a waitlist. Do we know how we can find out if we're high priority or not??

 

[jmed12345]

Do regular WL ever get accepted?

Also received this email

 

[Gabgab]

I got the rolling admissions/waitlist email too.... I am very confused because Noreen Kerrigan emailed me last week saying I would receive nice news from her... Low key really hope there was a mistake........?

When did you interview ?

 

[brainreducio]

I think earlier consensus in the thread was that rolling admissions email was HPWL and a waitlist email said waitlist

 

[ey2020jof270]

Interesting... I wonder how that was backed up (i.e. if someone emailed asking or if it was just speculation?).

 

[Gabgab]

When did you interview ?

March 30

 

[brainreducio]

Did anyone else get a HPWL/Waitlist email? @dreamitmakeithappen @LarsWorld reaching out to you guys bc i know y'all were in the same boat

I got the rolling admissions email...thinking that means HPWL?

 

[thehumanamerica]

I got regular WL email, really bummed since my interviewer twice told me they want to see me there next year. Didn’t have my hopes up for an A, but HPWL would have been nice

 

[dreamitmakeithappen]

I guess the good news is that we didn't miss out on an A because if I'm not mistaken, they haven't sent out As since something like February?

If you don’t mind can you post a screenshot? I’m sorry to hear that 🙁

 

[brainreducio]

Does anyone know how much movement there is off of the HPWL? I don’t have access to MSAR anymore unfortunately

[sg61]

Does MSAR differentiate between HPWL and normal WL in any way?

I think that’s for the regular waitlist and not the HPWL? Because they seem to think the HPWL is not really a waitlist but “rolling admissions”. In previous years they accepted people off the HPWL before the April 30th deadline so it wouldn’t show in MSAR as waitlist acceptances. Not sure, but this is all strange. I feel there are more than 75 acceptances to go around especially for HPWL.

Idk, it doesn't mention anything about rolling and it would seem like most of their class came from the waitlist if that isn't comprehensive because they do ~183 students, so that's already 40% from the waitlist

 

[medted]

Did any of the ZOOMers hear back?

 

[71650]

What does the regular waitlist email look like?

 

[docdocgreygoose]

I'm a little late to the conversation but could someone please fill me in on what Einstein's response was to COVID, why everyone is so upset about it, and how is it different from other NYC schools like Cornell and NYU? Thank you!

If you look through the thread, a few people on here discussed that!

 

[thehumanamerica]

It looks identical to the rolling admissions email except it explicitly says WAITLIST in the subject line and has a sentence saying "Your application has been waitlisted, and we will reach a final decision in the coming months" instead of "At this time, we are in rolling admissions status." That's the only difference.

That seems pretty minor...what makes people think that rolling admissions is HP then?
