2020-2021 Albert Einstein

Does anyone know how to send updates to Einstein after interview? Should I just email?
 
To date, Einstein has received almost 10,000 applications, a record 21% more YoY (8088 in 2019-2020).
Besides the increased competitiveness, no wonder why things are slower this year for Einstein!

*Official stats from the Chief Academic Officer himself.
Wonder if that number is complete applications (with secondaries) or just primaries?
 
Anyone know what the dress code for the real talk session?
 
Should we be expecting a second interview ? Or this like not a normal thing ?
 
@MedKid9 During the info session they mentioned that you can sign up for a second interview if you believe the first one didn't go well. Other people on this thread have also been invited for a second interview so I think it's quite normal here if your first interview wasn't very clear as far as decisions go.

Op. I mean I think my interview went well. I guess I’ll just hope for the best lol
 
wait wait, do they invite people for a second interview or you can sign up for one to sort of replace your first one??
 
Interviewed today! The interviewer was very kind. As many pointed out here and from last year, I think they do well to keep the stress level as low as possible.
Also, my interviewer already read through my app pretty thoroughly and asked some really thought out questions. I appreciated that a lot.
Congrats if you interviewed today! Good luck to everyone else preparing for an interview or waiting on II or decisions.
 
Is there still a chance of getting an II here? Complete in July

In the student panel yesterday (for the interviewers), we were told that decisions likely would come out around February. That said, in the last year's thread, many people received II even after February. This year, I think it could go on for much longer just given how chaotic everything has been.

Thank you, that helps! Yeah it seems like very slow going here so I'm hoping that means there will be more movement and interviews for longer.
 
To those who’ve interviewed so far... for schools like Einstein and others who send decisions later on... when do you think our app and interviews get scored after we interview? Yall think they do it that same week or they wait a few months?

Also, me and a friend were debating how requesting a second interview would seem. he didnt see it as a big deal but i was saying how it looks too desperate, needy, and has a negative impact. what yall think?

I’ve heard that they score pretty soon (weeks following) after the interview especially since comments are “fresher” in the interviewers mind. On the topic of a second interview I’ve had similar reservations but during the student panel one of the students mentioned that the second interview is very “no questions asked”. He also did mention he doesn’t know anybody in his class who took advantage of it so do with that as you will

can you elaborate on what you mean by “no questions asked”? I lost you on that one

Those were his exact words, I took from it that they won’t directly penalize you for it or for your reasoning in requesting a second interview
 
Sorry if this was already mentioned but does Albert Einstein allow pre-II updates?
