Hi everyone, it's your friendly neighborhood M1 again
I saw that there was a pretty big wave of Rs this week. If anyone who received an R is still on this thread, I wanted to take a second and send a quick reminder that this decision does not reflect you as a person, nor does it say anything about whether you deserve to be here. You've heard it all before, but they received record numbers of applications this year, and they had to miss out on a lot of really talented and qualified applicants. If anyone wants to reach out for support, please feel free to send me a message!
To everyone who has not heard back, I remember this being an incredibly difficult time, so I get what you may be going through. Try to remember that no news is simply no news - try not to read too much into the silence. The cycle isn't over, and Einstein sends out acceptances pretty late from what I remember! Try to keep your head up!
I'll keep popping in periodically - I've seen that some of my classmates are here too (hey guys!), so send along any questions and I'm sure one of us will be able to help! Best of luck!

Does anyone know what the 'Educational Technology Fee' is for? It's pretty steep at $3k/yr... are we given laptops or something?

Where did you find the cost breakdown?
What's the housing rate? Surprised that's not included on this page

$400ish for a 3-bed apartment and $600ish for a 2-bed (utilities included)
Music to my ears
How long before your interview do they send you a Zoom link?

My II is this Friday and I still have not received the Zoom link. Should I reach out to the admissions?

I got my zoom info on the tuesday before my Friday interview in January so I think they'll send it to you today or tomorrow!
What’s the decision turn around looking like? Interviewed early Feb and would really love to go here so getting a bit anxious 🥴
I got mine Thursday for a Monday interview - was legit about to contact them to ask them for it
I just got mine for Friday! I would hang tight and wait.
Are Jan./Feb. interviewers hearing back this week?
Also wondering. Had an early Feb interview.
Apologies if this has been repeated before - is Einstein still sending out Interview Invites? Haven't heard anything from them, and wondering if they're done at this point....
they interview through april and there was just a large R wave so i presume II's are theoretically available to those of us remaining (since people might drop their interviews this and next month) but will be few and far between
Does Einstein let interviewees know who will be interviewing them?
apparently they tell you in the email that contains the interview zoom link. you ge this a few days before the interview

Anyone know if interviews being held in April will be considered for a spot in the class? Not sure if I will end up doing the interview if it is just for waitlist.
for what it's worth, i got an II last Tuesday & there were a few dates in April still open on the portal when i scheduled my interview!
(not sure if its an interview for a seat in the class or for the waitlist, tho)
for those who interviewed in jan-feb, it looks like another wave of post-II decisions went out on march 5 last year
The only decisions they released were on Feb 1 lol
no there were actually a few post-II R's after that day too
Oh I meant acceptances but yeah

anyone else interview in fall and not hear anything from the last round of A's/WL/R's?

Does any current student know how merit aid is distributed other than the "holistic" review that the administrators mentioned during the accepted students meeting? They also said 40% of students get merit aid... up to full tuition or cost of living, I forget which.
Yep - I think we are bound for the "HPWL" that they have done in years' past. I think emails for that are released some time in March anyway

Hey! I'm not sure the criteria they use, but they consider the financial aid questionnaire strongly when making this decision.
Merit aid is often not full tuition. This just often helps to reduce the amount of loans you need to take out (via grad plus for example) - you can take out up to cost of attendance, including merit and need-based aid, as well as other scholarships in loans. So if you get 25k in merit aid and COA is 85k, you would only have to take out 60k in loans (I use "only" loosely lol) instead of 85k in loans. Over 15 years, that is a pretty significant difference!
Does that answer your question?

Does anyone know if there’s an approx. timeline for hearing back post-interview for folks interviewing around this time? I interviewed earlier this week, but we didn’t discuss this at all.
based on last year's thread, they sent out another round of post ii R's on march 4 & waitlists march 5

They sent out no A's?
n
not that I could see when I skimmed it. but, I believe the notion that they don't send A's after February has been refuted. it's just a smaller amount from what I have heard.

Has there been any word of a second look day?
