What are these guys policy on updates?
They don’t take them unless they specifically ask for one or you get interviewed. Found out yesterday when I updated some of my schools

Does anyone know Einstein's R style? Pre-II R's early on? Pre-II R's later in cycle? Ghost?

Complete today too. Submitted on 09/20.
Literally the same exact dates
For anyone who scheduled an interview, when you submitted the Applicant Interview Agreement form did you get any kind of confirmation saying it was submitted? I didn't have access to a computer for a while and had to do it on my phone but I have no idea if it went through or not.

Hello, no I didn't get a confirmation email when I submitted that. I think there was just some sort of thank you screen. On the interview portal, it says that they'd send a courtesy reminder the day after if you didn't sign it. I didn't get a reminder, so I'm thinking they got it.
When is the earliest available date for interviews currently?
Thank you! I honestly can't remember if I got a thank you screen since I did it on my phone, but I saw that my interview is still scheduled on the portal so hopefully it wasn't rescinded.

Yeah, I was excited to have my first II so signing up feels like a blur. Congrats on the II, hope you do great!

I left mine blank, figured I didn't really have anything to add that wasn't already in my primary.
I think I used it as a covid essay
my interviewer didn't give me a date that I would hear back. Where do you find this?
My interviewer said Feb 1 at the beginning of my interview
Following. I hope they still will send out some more II’s. I feel I’m a pretty good fit here
From what I noticed, Einstein completes people's applications in waves. II people (who have reported) have been complete 9/8. But there was a huge wave of people who were complete 9/10 and I don't think anyone has gotten an II from that group, so I think they're still giving out IIs because people complete 9/10 didn't submit that late, not to mention people complete later
Gotcha. just sucks bc i got my complete email towards the end of July. So i hope they havent passed over me

Einstein has a very long app cycle, so I don't think you need to worry. I don't know how different things are this year with covid, but as a current student I got my Einstein II in March.
I am surprised. When I asked my interviewer they told me "We have rolling admissions, so don't worry if it takes a while." So I am pretty confused
It rolls beginning February 1st. You could hear any time throughout February or March.

In one of their emails, they stated it would take 8 weeks for them to review our applications. Do they typically uphold this timeline? My app is personally at 11 weeks, and I have not heard back.
+1 I'm coming up on 13 weeks without any news. From previous cycles tho it looks like they take a bit longer to get back to everyone (will probably be even longer now with COVID). Fingers crossed we hear something soon!
Einstein has a notoriously slow cycle. I know a few students there who were complete Aug/Sept and didn't get their IIs until Dec-February.
The 8 weeks isnt a hard set rule. Some faster, some slower. I submitted late July and got the II late august
There's only the 1 hr interview and then a virtual Meet the Students session the evening of your interview day where all the interviewees that day meet up with current students.
Sweet thanks!
