Based on previous years, it looks like Einstein has a big A wave Feb 1st, a smaller one early April, and then another medium-sized one mid-May. Acceptances after that trickle in. Rolling Admissions means you're on the high-priority waitlist, which a lot of people get off of.
4-5 weeks
Thanks friend
Last year, there was no A wave in April, although that may have been due to the sudden COVID situation ... hopefully we get some updates next month
I thought there was an A wave around April 15 when people had to start narrowing down their schools to top 3 and dropped einstein? I may have just imagined seeing this though lol
Hmm, the way I saw the thread around that time was that people got this "still interested?" email around that date, but actual A's were not given until early May (just for the year 2020)
not many, but some were just sent out on sunday
Yep, Einstein basically closed down for a few weeks last year during the height of the pandemic. I'm sure that probably threw a wrench in the timeline. I'm hoping this year goes back to normal so we won't have to wait until May for a decision.
Admin has been operating pretty business as usual since summer now that they've gotten used to remote working. Volume might slow things down a bit though
Can you pm me?
Nothing yet...maybe they will have an update for us in April
Did you request it? How long ago was your first interview?
not sure about AE but i have heard that other schools do this when the first interviewer did not have enough notes on the candidate
For an additional perspective, in regards to the incident that happened earlier this week in which a student was assaulted by a patient, our clerkship director sent us M3s home from clinical duties immediately and we were not required to return the next day, we received statements from admin that afternoon and there was a statement from the CEO of Montefiore Medicine (the umbrella organization of Montefiore and Einstein) the following morning. I guess the Dean himself didn't make an additional statement but otherwise I'm not sure what else they could have done. I am not aware of the other incident however and cannot comment on that.
Dr. O did send an email out but not the dean
It’s hard to read: “I'm not sure what else they could have done.” ...
I don’t think this is necessarily the case. They usually accept around 350 students for a class of 183. If the first A round only has 183 As, then that would mean there are about 167 acceptances left to go out. Based on MSAR, they put 275 people on the WL and end up accepting 75.
I think there have been a few people from past threads who have got off the regular WL, but not as many as the HPWL. I’m on the regular one too and I’m just trying to get a sense of what my chances look like. I think this is the most confusing WL I’m on lol
It’s even more confusing if you got the March update email despite interviewing in 2020
What's interesting to me is that, even though we as applicants colloquially refer to the "Rolling Admissions..." status as a HPWL, Einstein does not refer to it as a waitlist.
This is assuming they count HPWL towards the "actual" waitlist. As far as I'm aware, the HPWL email makes no mention of a waitlist. It almost sounds like an acceptance purgatory where you're already in but they want to wait a bit to see how many people drop.* Also, that 275/75 MSAR number hasn't been updated in years.
This is what the emails make it sound like. And maybe the March update is just a deferral
nothing yet! hoping they get back to us soon
did you sign up on your own?
I received an email from Einstein on the 12th with a link to fill out the form
sorry, I meant did you sign up on the Mentoring website on your own, or are you waiting for next steps
gotcha. I signed up on my own on the website. Now i'm just waiting for somebody from the organization I designated on the form to reach out to me.
The error message resolved within 8ish hours for me. I would wait until tomorrow morning/afternoon before calling the admin office. I have an April interview and I'm wondering the same thing about the waitlist
Thanks for the advice! fingers crossed for the both of us
i interviewed in early march and have pretty much been expecting a waitlist as the best possible outcome. has anyone been outright accepted since the initial feb 1st decisions?
I don’t think so
