Hey, could you possibly give us any feedback about your interview, if you remember of course considering it was a year ago now. Also, any of your good or bad impressions that you may have of the school so far? Thanks!

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."

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!

do you mean 7/15 or were u actually complete 8/15?

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.
 
Pretty interesting that inputting my AMCAS ID through the Portal kept bringing up my old email haha. It's all good though, ended up just registering with it
 
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) :arghh: that's what I get for not leaving it blank lol

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.
 
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
 
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?

This system makes no sense lmao. I was verified on 8/11 so I guess I have a long wait ahead of me :slap:

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! 🙂
 
Complete email on 9/8 as well, took about 2 1/2 weeks from app received email

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
 
Complete email received 9/10. Secondary submitted on 8/19, Secondary submission email received on 8/20.
 
Complete email received earlier this AM. Secondary received email 08/18
 
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
