I am not the person you asked, but I am an M3 at Einstein. Interview was very relaxed and conversational for me, and many classmates have said the same of theirs. Overall I have really enjoyed my time here thus far and the clinical education is fantastic. Admin has been very supportive in my experience, particularly with dealing with the whole pandemic thing and changing our schedules around with a lot of flexibility. If you or anyone else have any more specific questions I'm happy to help answer.

Does anyone else get any error when attempting to book the interview date saying "Server Error in '/applicantportal' Application."

I am. Were you able to fix it?
three? I only saw 2 when I booked a spot a few hours ago.
Hey, I didn't interview even close to a year ago I interviewed pretty late and got in late haha. It was super conversational though like someone else said, by far the most casual and fun interview I had in the cycle. I'd agree most people have the same experience. School is great so far but very hard, only bad impression is that administration was a little unclear and abrupt with their news surrounding student move-ins etc, but I blame that on the pandemic and them being swamped. Haven't been here that that long though

For those that got interview invites already what kind of essay did you use for the additional info essay or did you leave it blank? thanks and congrats on the IIs!

I left it blank. Had nothing important to say
try re-registering, it worked for me
No, I got the complete email 8/15. My actual secondary was submitted 7/17 so maybe they looked at my application earlier, because the only thing that was missing was my school's committee letter. But that's really just my guess. But I for sure got the complete email 8/15, although my secondary was in much earlier.
I wouldn't sweat this at all! There are so many variations of "medical school" titles. What matters is that you didn't mess up the Einstein part, lol.made my first secondary error. put Albert Einstein Medical College instead of College of Medicine (& only realized bc my bank statement said AECOM app fee)that's what I get for not leaving it blank lol
I submitted 8/3, got a "Secondary+Photo Received" email on 8/12, and still no complete email....
I know they said at least 6 weeks, but really??

if we want to submit a letter packet from our pre-med committee, can we still also submit additional individual letters?

On a similar boat. Submitted 8/13 and secondary+photo email received 8/18, but no complete email yet
Does anyone know if the interview is open or closed-file?
Open file, 30 minute traditional interview
Great. Thank you!
I thought I was complete here but realized I never got the complete email...submitted 8/12, email about it being recieved 8/17, and this is the fourth week lol

I looked at last year's thread and some people who applied in July didn't get the complete email until November or December. Just gotta be patient.
Anyone know details about married housing here? All I could find was from 2014.

Yeah, spouses and partners can live in student housing, you'll get a studio on your own (unless you have kids, you'll get a bigger apartment depending on how many).

So I emailed Einstein because they had all my materials on 07/21 and sent me the "supplemental application received" on 08/12 but I still am not complete. Good news: they responded within the hour and did not seem annoyed! Bad news: they said applications are marked complete in order of AMCAS verification date (not secondary submission date, so not what the email said). I was verified like 06/17 I think, were all you guys verified earlier, or is there still something up here? I'm concerned that my letters are wrong or something.

I was verified 6/30 so maybe that's the reason I'm not marked complete either?

I was verified 7/8 lmaaaooo but also what kind of system is this and why did I try so hard to submit early
D
deleted1009115
This system makes no sense lmao. I was verified on 8/11 so I guess I have a long wait ahead of me

I was verified 6/24, supp app + photo received 8/27 (submitted a few days or so earlier), and got a complete email on 9/8.
There were several people who didn't get a complete until January last cycle, even though they had a supp + photo received email in July/August. You really can't understand how adcoms attack the sheer volume of applications that come their way. Good thing about this school is that they wait until February to make/send decisions so I believe that having a faster interview doesn't necessarily put you at an advantage.
Also! I read a few entries last cycle of people getting invited in Dec/Jan and getting in so don't give up hope! 🙂
i was verified early june, got the received email 8/12 and haven't gotten the complete email yet either. i'm sure it's coming
Just got the actual complete email. Verified in early June on AMCAS
+1 verified June 26, submitted this 8/12
+2 verified early august, submitted 8/14, email about application being received 8/17
Just got the email, submitted everything in mid-to-late July lol

Complete email received 9/10. Secondary submitted on 8/19, Secondary submission email received on 8/20.
Submitted like a week earlier and complete today, so maybe anything submitted after a certain date was just put on “hold” for review until today?
Finally got my complete!!! Took one month lmao

Do they read your app before sending the complete email? How does it take a month to check if u have all the right docs
No clue why everyone’s took so long. I submitted 8/2 and was complete 8/3.
Maybe whoever was supposed to complete applications just recovered from COVID-19 and was like oh **** I'm behind and then verified all secondaries submitted in the last month today lol
