2020-2021 Albert Einstein

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Finally got the R (wasn’t going to accept an interview at this point anyways). Complete mid-August.
 
March 12... haven’t heard anything but Easter egg hunt was the weirdest I’ve had all year so not expecting much
Can someone explain what Easter egg hunt is.. I haven’t received any info of this stuff
 
So if I interviewed March 8th and then received a March Update email March 31st, is that good or bad?
 
Has anyone received any need based aid? Any info on when we would find out about financial aid other than the merit aid?
 
Also has anyone emailed to notify about scholarships from other schools / negotiate financial aid? If so, where did you email?
 
Anybody interviewed mid-late March hear anything? Also to they really call wait list purgatory?

anyone know about the special enhancement program Einstein has? was considered and want to know more about it
 
can someone explain the difference between these three emails lol?
I haven’t actually gotten any of these emails, but I’ll do my best based on what I’ve seen here:

Rolling Admissions: After review, you have been placed in an “acceptable” category. Since the class is full, they’ll let you know if/when a spot opens up for you. This has been interpreted as a high-priority WL. If you get this email, there’s a strong chance you will be admitted in the coming weeks/months.

Waitlist: Regular WL

March Update: Your app has been reviewed, but they haven’t made a decision yet. Essentially a deferral.

thanks, very helpful
 
Interviewed early march and was offered a special enhancement program with guaranteed matriculation.There’s not a lot info out there but I found someone who did it last year so if anyone else is in my same position just reach out 🙂
Congrats! If you don’t mind me asking, what does the program entail?
 
Yep, here are the details on AECOM's website:

AFAIK, it's tuition-free and they might also give you a stipend. Seems pretty rare so congrats @letsgoooooo!
 
Did any other March update emails get a decision after the initial email?
