+1 -- I think so. Will double check.If we already received and completed the Certiphi background check, there's nothing else we need to do for that right?
It automatically gets released to Einstein, correct?
Do you mind if I ask where you sent the letter of interest? I sent my thank you letter via email to the Information and Admissions Assistant - should I send my LOI there?I sent one to my interviewer and I got accepted - not that I think it played a major role lol. I also sent an application update/letter of interest about a month before decisions would be released just to show them that I was still passionate about Einstein. I interviewed in mid-Sept so about 3.5 months passed, so I thought it would be good to give them something fresh. Again, I don't think it had any significant impact, but every bit helps

I dont remember, but pretty sure it was in one of the emails they sent out.. mentioned to send any updates to the email I posted above, im sure sending it to the general admissions email would be the sameThere will be a post-interview email?
To those who aren't in the HPWL, don't lose hope! I personally think that the HPWL is a myth, because there were plenty of people in last year's thread in the regular waitlist that got accepted when HPWL people weren't. I think the "HPWL" just determines who gets the acceptances first.

If I still haven’t received a response but interviewed in October does that mean that I’m still being reviewed?

Does anyone know how the student housing lottery/roommate selection process works?
Does anyone know when merit based scholarships are sent out and how many there are?

They send some paperwork, you fill it out, you get an apartment. They've changed things a little bit since I've been here and MSTPs don't have roommates so I'm not totally sure on that front, but I think it's questionnaire-based. No need to worry about whether or not you'll get a space though.Does anyone know how the student housing lottery/roommate selection process works?

Are there studios or 1BRs available, or do those pretty exclusively go to MSTPs?They send some paperwork, you fill it out, you get an apartment.

All MSTPs have studios, but not all studios have MSTPs. There are around 4 per floor, so one building (there are three) could house all of the MSTPs in studios.Are there studios or 1BRs available, or do those pretty exclusively go to MSTPs?
Some MD (and PhD) students will end up in studios when they first move in, and a pretty good fraction will end up in studios by the time they graduate if they put their name on the waitlist.
1BR apartments aren't available to single students, only to students who are married/in a domestic partnership, and/or have children.
Most people will be in a 2BR apartment that is actually a converted 1BR apartment (living room becomes a second bedroom), or a 3BR apartment.
Unfortunately not, it's stated on the website. Only post-interview updates.can we send pre-II letters of update/interest?

This is odd because I emailed them about pre-II updates and they said you could email them one to be added to your application. I sent this email this weekUnfortunately not, it's stated on the website. Only post-interview updates.
Oo, well if they've given the okay for that, sounds like people should go for it 😛This is odd because I emailed them about pre-II updates and they said you could email them one to be added to your application. I sent this email this week
This is from their website...
Instructions for new applicants | M.D. Admissions | Albert Einstein College of Medicine (einsteinmed.org)
"We ask that you not send any updates after your application is completed, unless requested by the Admissions Committee. Anything that you would like to send prior to the completion of your application should be sent as quickly as possible. Applicants who are interviewed may send updates after their interview, up until a final notice of disposition is sent from the Admissions Office. "

Yeah when I scheduled, all of march was open 3 days a week with about 7-12 slots per day. So around 84-144 spots (this is a complete guess).Facts... This seems like a big wave too.![]()
How many acceptances have they sent so far? What are the chances of a March interview getting accepted? Might not attend, but it's better than the school i currently have an A at...
Was anyone asked to submit a transcript update post-interview?
Just had my interview, and it didn't go badly but it didn't go well. It was very short (around 30 min), and I don't feel I hit enough of my key points.
Currently thinking about requesting a second interview; did anyone here do that, or know someone who did?
EDIT: I need to make a decision ASAP, if anyone's got any advice I'd really like to hear it
