I want to know this tooLooks like if merit is a separate "SCHOLARSHIP" email, then those of us that received loans only today also can get scholarships?

You take out a grad plus loan (it’s another government loan) for additional costs. You can take out up to the COA of the school.Is any ones "loans" amount from finAid nowhere near the cost of attendance? or is that just me lol
Ahhh okay thanksYou take out a grad plus loan (it’s another government loan) for additional costs. You can take out up to the COA of the school.
Just set an automatic reply email saying youre off the grid, when you will return and when they can expect to hear backFor those of you who received A’s, how long did you have to respond to the offer? I’m supposed to be off the grid for ~5 days beginning of April and am stressing a bit
This crossed my mind an hour ago. Lol. Thanks.Just set an automatic reply email saying youre off the grid, when you will return and when they can expect to hear back
ESTSorry for the stupid Q but Does anyone know if the interview time is EST or PST? All mine says is 9 to 10am. I have no idea
According to the previous year's housing pamphlet, they're not.Are the dorms furnished?
No, no sharing rooms. They're not really dorms, they're true apartments with individual bedrooms and a shared kitchen, bathroom, living room. Most students get placed in a 3-bedroom or 2-bedroom, each person has their own bedroom. It gets confusing because they're listed as 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom, but they were renovated to add another bedroom. If you have a spouse you will get a studio apartment; if you have children that will also be accommodated with the appropriate size apartment. Otherwise there is a waiting list for studios you can get on as soon as you sign up for housing, most people get the opportunity to move into a studio around M2/M3 if they want to.does anyone have to share a room in the dorms? the housing guidelines were not particularly clear on this one
Pretty sure they’re interviewing through April. you’re still in it. They just sent out some II’s not long ago if I’m remembering rightUhhh....so Einstein said final dispositions would be sent February 1, but I haven't heard anything since being complete in September? Significance?
unrelated but did your interviewer happen to give you an estimation on when you should expect to hear back?Sorry if this was asked already
but basically I had my interview this morning and I'm sending a thank you email to the interviewer, but is it fine to also send a thank you/update letter to the admissions office? The reason I include update is because I mentioned my update to the interviewer but not in full detail (for ex= I told him I transitioned from a part time remote scribe to an inperson full time scribe but didn't mention that I'm also doing clinical research with the doc I scribe with), so does anyone have a recommendation on whether it's worth sending in a more in depth update to admissions as I'm thanking them/ expressing my intent, or just assume my interviewer passed on the update and that the extra details don't matter?
Thanks in advance
nope he didn't mention anythingunrelated but did your interviewer happen to give you an estimation on when you should expect to hear back?
Judging from previous posts, we should expect to hear back 4-5 weeks after our interviews. I'm thinking maybe the first 2 weeks of April for March interviewees.unrelated but did your interviewer happen to give you an estimation on when you should expect to hear back?
thank you so much! how do you guys recommend preparing for the interview? mine is in april lolNo, no sharing rooms.

Not an MS4, but '09 was 12 years ago.Hey guys, I just saw this in an old thread about Einstein (back from '09):
"While the Einstein administration was advertised as "student friendly" when I was interviewing, it is anything but. Just one example, and the one that prompted me to write this post, is dealing with residency interviews while on 4th year rotations. First off, you're 4th year mandatory rotation schedule is predetermined by lottery. You can only change it if you can find someone willing to switch with you. As a 4th year applying to the match, you usually try to avoid doing mandatory rotations during the months between November and January... as will all 185 of your classmates. That means that many of us are stuck with busy rotations during interview season. The kicker is that there are attendance limits during these rotations, and absolutely no leeway. For instance, if you're doing neurology, you can only miss 2 days out of a month. If you're doing your sub-I, you might not be allowed to miss any. We've been told from faculty that we either have to cancel interviews, or fail the rotation."
Can any current MS4s in this thread speak to whether this is still true?

How do people feel about how they treated their students during COVID?
Thank you so much! Yeah I figured that Einstein had changed a lot since '09, but some people/programs can definitely get stuck in their ways so I just wanted to double check hahaI'm not a current MS4, but I'm an MS3 and will be an MS4 in just a couple months. So I have read that thread that you took that from, and a ton of the info in there is very out of date (not surprising since it's over a decade old lol). There are hospitals mentioned there that we don't rotate at anymore, etc. Our 3rd and 4th year clinical requirements have changed a lot since then, and even just since last year. There are many fewer clinical requirements in the 4th year (we now only have 2 required 4 week sub-Is and the rest of the time is electives, interview, or vacation time) and we all get a full month off (December) just for residency interviews, which seemed to be one of their major complaints. I'm making my 4th year schedule now and it's incredibly flexible with only the two required sub-Is. I honestly have so much time to fill idk what to do with it all lol. There are lots of opportunities to do things like reading electives or research during the busy interview months.
So I was an MS2 entering dedicated when covid started. I felt incredibly supported by my administration in restructuring our curriculum around Step 1 cancellations, adapting our clinical rotation schedule, etc. They took a lot of student input into making decisions and kept us informed. Clinical students were vaccinated pretty early on in late December/early January, and pre-clinical just a few weeks later.
They weren't the worst, but certainly not the best and I'll say they've learned a lot from their early missteps.How do people feel about how they treated their students during COVID?
Without the pandemic distracting the clinical department chairs they wouldn't have been able to overhaul the curriculum
Apologies for not being clearer, it probably should have been in the second section or perhaps on its own.Can you explain what you mean here? Is the implication that dept chairs were resistant to changing the curriculum?
Interviewed 2/8/21 and I havent heard back yet...has anyone that interviewed in 2021 heard back?Has anyone who interviewed 02/12/21 heard back yet? Thanks!
Thanks so much for your insights! It sounds like you're in the PhD part of the MSTP program, so you've already gone through the old curriculum for M1 and M2. Do you have any opinions on the new curriculum or what the general/overall feeling is towards it?Apologies for not being clearer, it probably should have been in the second section or perhaps on its own.
Broad agreement that change was needed because the curriculum had been the same for too long.
But everyone wanted what they wanted and couldn't agree on what to do, which was making it difficult to accomplish, so they decided to just go for it when there wouldn't be as much pushing back.
They're coming around to it after getting over the initial displeasure at the way it was done, but some are still not so happy about having to adjust to shorter timeframes.
At the end of the day it makes sense because students being pulled from the wards gave them the opportunity to restart however they wanted and to avoid having a transition period with two overlapping third year classes.
Yes, I interviewed that day and heard back (WL).Interviewed 2/8/21 and I havent heard back yet...has anyone that interviewed in 2021 heard back?
I think the new clinical curriculum sounds good. They've built in elective space to allow you to spend time in specialties you might be interested in and as another poster mentioned, they've added more dedicated time for residency interviews. They've also added a "back to science" section or something of that name to give people a basic science refresher, as a result of feedback they got on graduation questionnaires.Thanks so much for your insights! It sounds like you're in the PhD part of the MSTP program, so you've already gone through the old curriculum for M1 and M2. Do you have any opinions on the new curriculum or what the general/overall feeling is towards it?
Edit- Does anyone know if our Zoom info sessions are posted anywhere? I'd really like to rewatch the curriculum Zoom
Mine was 25 mins of my interviewer asking me questions and then I asked him questions for like 30 minsHow long was the interview?
they wanna know how much of a diehard albert einstein fan you areJust got the rolling admissions status email, was told to email them about how I feel about possibly attending. Ummmm, what do I even say?
so based on my response, I can get an acceptance or rejection?they wanna know how much of a diehard albert einstein fan you are
when did you interview!Just got the rolling admissions status email, was told to email them about how I feel about possibly attending. Ummmm, what do I even say?
If you want to go there, show them genuine interest.so based on my response, I can get an acceptance or rejection?
now that im not sure. but i would imagine that any response you give could potentially play a role (albeit small) in their final decisionso based on my response, I can get an acceptance or rejection?
Seems like there are still a handful of people that have been complete from varying dates that have not received a pre-II R or an II yet. I was complete in early September and still nothing, Einstein is actually the only school I have not heard from post-secondary. Sounds like they are interviewing through April, so maybe some more interviews to go out, but even at that point I have a feeling it may be for WL positions. But who knowsAnyone still experiencing radio silence? Completed July
