2020-2021 Albert Einstein

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
also got the A at 7:30, interviewed 11/23. for those of you who haven't heard back - i remember one of the medical students telling us on my interview day that it's not a death sentence if you don't hear back on the first day. plenty of students get the A after Feb 1. good luck to all!

Also I would not recommend contacting the admissions office about not hearing back - this was another thing I was explicitly told not to do during my interview day.
 
Got the acceptance email at 10am - interviewed mid-Sept
unless this person is in Brazil Greenland or Argentina, they did not hear news at 8am EST as the others did lol. so i think the rolling must have started? i am definitely overanalyzing but... taking this as good news
Can someone explain the rolling to me ?

Would it be frowned upon to send a LOI?

I believe letters of interest are fine - I emailed an update a couple weeks ago and they received it well. But if it's a letter of INTENT, I might wait to save it in case they WL you.

rolling admissions means they will accept people from now until end of march in this case- whenever they get to be done reviewing your app i assume. to me- it's good news that AK_legends interviewed in September and heard after the big wave of A's. maybe some apps take longer than others to review.

10 am EST! For the 2 other schools I was accepted to, the initial batches of acceptances were released over a few days so don't lose hope!
 
Does anyone know what percentage of total acceptances were sent out this morning?
 
Any more updates from the MSTP side of things? Will we get an email about being waitlisted or should we just assume we are either waitlisted or rejected at this point?
I don’t think there has been anyone accepted yet?..
They've sent offers to about 10 MSTP applicants last I had heard. So everyone at this point who hasn't heard is technically waitlisted.
Keep in mind that the process for MSTP slots is a bit more slow and "deliberate" because there's less wiggle-room for over-enrollment. So they release this first batch, and then send one or a few more offers at a time until they get up to the target class size. It can take a while.
 
If we already received and completed the Certiphi background check, there's nothing else we need to do for that right?

It automatically gets released to Einstein, correct?
 
For those of you that already interviewed, is it just the one hour interview and then the zoom with students later in the day? I want to make sure I'm not missing any other information sessions or anything.
correct. you can schedule a personal zoom session with representatives from different student groups or offices
 
when did you guys interview?

I am sorry to hear that. I wish you both the best of luck!
 
Just got my first post-II R, interviewed here late October. Damn they basically said “you ain’t even going on our waitlist!”

I thought this was one of my best interviews too. Super weird how this works but honestly I’m not upset. Good luck to the rest of you and congrats to all that got accepted (including my real life friend if you recognize me hi!!)

edit- decided to boycott e=mc^2 and science now. Albert einstein who??

So sorry.....sending you all healing energy! If you don't mind me asking, what time did you hear back?
 
Anyone know if they typically start sending out more II invites after all these decisions?
 
Interviewed 1/22 and haven’t heard anything - hoping that no news is good at news for us January interviewers?
 
acceptance today at 7:34am, still kinda in shock! Interviewed Dec 15th. i know people who have gotten on einstein's hpwl in the past and get accepted in may, i think it's very high chances if you're on high priority! also know people who got on the hpwl and they interviewed in april last year. there is hope!
 
^ on that note, anyone know what the difference in emails looks like for HPWL vs regular WL ? does it say “high priority” or something else to indicate?
