Those of you that got II would you mind sharing your stats/IS vs OOS? Congrats!

I have no idea how this happened. I only applied to Einstein because my dad has an obsession with YU (they aren't even affiliated anymore) and offered to pay for the application if I applied; I thought it was a waste of time and money because of my stats (IS Jewish ORM, 3.5X cGPA, 3.3X sGPA, 517 MCAT).

BUT I GOT AN INTERVIEW INVITE! I was complete mid August, and it's been radio silence until now. No idea how or why this happened, but I'm gonna knock their socks off at that interview.

 

[premed3678]

Are there any current Einstein students willing to chat about their experience?

Is there a way to provide updates or letters or interest/intent?

 

[howdidienduphere]

Is there a way to provide updates or letters or interest/intent?

I believe they only accept updates from those who already interviewed, after you interview they provide someone's email address for you.

 

[Chromatica]

Can anyone speak to the "real talk" sessions? How were they?

 

[ragweedking]

Can anyone speak to the "real talk" sessions? How were they?

They were like a typical student panel.

No, don't think so. They haven't even sent out A's yet. those are in Feb. R's might come with that.

I sent an update on a Friday and received a reply that it had been added to my application the following Monday

 

[pflash034]

[dustnstars]

Got rejected from their MD/PhD program 🙁 Can't even send in an update/interest letter pre-II to show them I'm really interested in the MD program still. Ugh this sucks

 

[yuhh]

Hi guys I have an interview on Friday and I just wanna see if anyone can give me some insight on why they think I got invited for an interview? In preparing for the interview, I see that Einstein is a research-intensive school. Well, I have minimal research lol. However, I do have a TON of clinical experience in many different fields as well as experience working with children with intellectual/developmental disabilities. And if you look on Einstein's community service page, almost all of their programs are working with this population. So maybe that could be the connection? Idk. I'm a URM, and overall, my app is very focused on caring for minorities, increasing diversity, promoting health equity, etc. Because the Bronx is such a diverse community, this could possibly be the connection too. Would just like to see what you guys think. Thanks!

Yes, your deep clinical experience and URM status likely got their attention --- as it did at other schools based on signature. Congrats!

Thank you! I just saw that they're all about research so I was confused like "why'd they pick me?" lol

If they send acceptances on Feb 1 does that mean no more interviews? Or is Feb 1 just the first day they start sending acceptances?

 

[premed3678]

I interview on Feb 2, so I really hope that isn’t the case. I speculated with my friend and thought maybe their decisions are just on a different timeline.

I believe it’s just the day they start

 

[kpeezy24]

For those of you that have interviewed, how many applicants are at the interview day?

 

[mangotrees]

do you find out your interviewer's name before the interview day?

 

[mdblue72]

For those of you who attended a "real talk" session, when were you sent the Zoom link for it?

 

[premedder99]

do you find out your interviewer's name before the interview day?

Yes

 

[Vairo]

For those of you that have interviewed, how many applicants are at the interview day?

It was not too large of a group. I don't think it was more than 8

 

[NYACKIM]

Does anyone know where we can send thank you letters to interviewers?

 

[DougtheDog]

Anyone know what the dress code is like for the Real Talk?

 

[theconfusedapplicant]

Anyone know what the dress code is like for the Real Talk?

I forgot what Real Talk was. Is that the student information meeting after the interviews? If so, I remember just staying dressed in my suit since it was right after my interview but they told us we didn’t need to be dressed up and that it was very casual.

The real talk is like a separate zoom meeting with just students. Its to meet students from different organizations. They have them every Friday, but they are not a part of the interview itself. We had to fill out a google form to receive the link

It was a while ago for me so I don’t remember but I'm pretty sure you can be casual/business casual no need for a suit
