So, are we hearing back today? 👀

I'm hoping! Based on last year if we did it would be most likely around 11:05AM EST.. But not trying to get my hopes up

 

[deleted1093251]

I haven't heard of any schools mentioning anything about second(tbh first) look

My hope is we are headed for the high priority WL

 

[pre-med202022]

Do people interviewing in early March interview for the WL? and when do the decisions come out for them?

 

[premedmc]

My hope is we are headed for the high priority WL

Have you seen anyone receive an A from your interview date?

 

[premeddie19]

Hey! I'm not sure the criteria they use, but they consider the financial aid questionnaire strongly when making this decision.
Merit aid is often not full tuition. This just often helps to reduce the amount of loans you need to take out (via grad plus for example) - you can take out up to cost of attendance, including merit and need-based aid, as well as other scholarships in loans. So if you get 25k in merit aid and COA is 85k, you would only have to take out 60k in loans (I use "only" loosely lol) instead of 85k in loans. Over 15 years, that is a pretty significant difference!
Does that answer your question?

I thought they said we didn't need to fill anything out for merit aid since it has nothing to do with FAFSA or our need based aid.

 

[Chromatica]

In the past three years they have always sent out decisions this week, but the day has varied between Wed/Thurs/Fri. So if we don't hear back today I have a feeling we will hear something tomorrow. In case anyone is interested!

 

[deleted1093251]

I thought they said we didn't need to fill anything out for merit aid since it has nothing to do with FAFSA or our need based aid.

Yeah I think I heard that too but also that we needed to fill out the questionnaire. I also remember that merit aid is 1) holistic 2) will be out earliest approx March 15th 3) there will be rounds.

Do you think someone can contact them about this? They seem to have taken down the videos....

 

[username1000]

If I am waiting on a decision, should I do the fin aid questionnaire? I have turned in FAFSA already, but I wanted to see of there is anything else I can do in terms of financial aid right now?

But I don't need to fill it out to see what my merit aid is tho right?

 

[deleted1093251]

I don't remember clearly.... It may just be information for them to keep you on file? It's not that long to fill out and I did it in ~15 min. It's supposed to be decided by the admissions committee but I wouldn't be surprised if they n eeded it to correspond with each other lol

Can you fill out this form prior to acceptance post-interview?

Hey! This was pretty confusing my year too. I am pretty sure you need to fill out the FAQ either way, unless things have changed. Here is the link to the FAQ

https://einsteinmed.org/uploadedFil...aq-einstein-incoming-students.pdf?version=1.1

If you really don't want to fill this out, definitely email student financial aid at [email protected] just to make sure that's ok - they can answer any questions. They are usually really responsive.

I heard from my advisor that the dean told her some of us are getting emails next week......eeeeek

Just got a WL email. Interviewed in early Feb

 

[SpreadKindness20]

WL, interviewed in early Feb.

Based on last year's thread, there were two version of wait-list-style emails that went out around this time - a "rolling admissions" email and a "wait list" email. It seemed as though people who received a "rolling admissions" email were more likely to be admitted than those who received a "wait list" email. Not sure if this is the case again this year, but feel free to browse last year's thread.

 

[premed3678]

*nervous breathing* early Feb interviewer here

 

[AM1233]

Post-II R, interviewed Feb 1st

 

[defuturemedstudent]

Post II R, interviewed Feb 8th and then had a second interview Feb 23rd. I thought the interview went really well, evidently not.

The WL email seemed to have a positive connotation. Idk if that will translate to good WL movement tho

 

[Chromatica]

+1 WL. Not sure if there is a HPWL this year but if there is I am bummed because I felt really good about this interview.

 

[premed3678]

is there anyway to know if these all went out at the same time or are they going 1 by 1?

 

[throwaway2020202112345]

I interviewed in early Feb and I haven't heard anything. I'm nervous, I love this school!

Maybe they’re sending out A’s last?

 

[SpreadKindness20]

Maybe they’re sending out A’s last?

Could be! I will note, though, that last year I don't think there were any direct As reported in the SDN thread by this time.

 

[SpreadKindness20]

Is there any portal update for everyone who got the R or WL?

Assuming you're referring to their interview portal - no change in there that I can see.

 

[premeddie19]

I think they'll wait till after 4/30 before giving out more As...just to avoid over-enrollment

 

[usernameproblems]

+1 WL, late January interview

 

[beethoven123]

Post II R. Interviewed Feb 1st.

 

[beethoven123]

Is there any portal update for everyone who got the R or WL?

Nope, I got the big fat R, but no update in the portal

 

[DorianDinosaur]

Just got the rolling admissions email! This is the HPWL right?
