Everyone on my day was still wearing formal attire, but I don’t think it really matters either way. The current students were dressed casually, and the whole thing was very informal. They told us that nothing (including attendance) would be reported back to admissions.

Another question for anyone that might have insight on this - since my interview is so late here (tomorrow) I'm assuming I'll be put on a waitlist/ not get accepted until May at least. How does financial aid work in this situation? If I wanted to attend, would I basically have to matriculate blindly without knowing if I got any financial aid? Thanks 🙂

It's very casual but you probably don't want to look messy either. I wore a button down shirt and gym shorts lol. Most of my fellow interviewees were in full formal, so you definitely won't look out of place if you decide to play it safe.
really enjoyed my interview today 🙂 good luck to everyone else on your upcoming interviews!

When are we expecting an A wave from here? In 2019 it was on April 8, and the year before that it was April 15.
Possibly some As after 4/15?

Are there any MSTP students out there who know how much waitlist movement there usually is over the next few weeks?

I interview here next week and I was wondering if anyone can give me some information about interview day. Is it just the 1 hour that we see on our applicant portal?

It is, plus the student Q&A.
my interviewer didn't know for sure but estimated that the earliest would be at the end of the month

My guess is within a few days after the April 15 traffic day ... if so, it is a bit later than usual. Did you get a "rolling admissions" email in early March by any chance?
I interviewed early March and got the rolling admis email 3/31
Damn. I interviewed 2/2 and got March update 3/4. Feeling grim.
I interviewed early dec and got the March update. I just want some closure at this point
I got rejected from MD/PhD in early February and haven’t heard anything since! Anyone in the same boat?

What are "still interested" emails?
In the previous years, Dean Kerrigan personally reached out and asked if Einstein was still your top choice. Seemed like most people who got these emails eventually got the A a few weeks later.
Rolling admissions email this morning.
+1. Do we have any idea how many people are on the HPWL? Does Einstein only put x-number of applicants here?
Really trying to just gauge my chances here.

When did y'all interview? Silence from 3/5 still.
I think it’s impossible to tell. Einstein says the only have one WL and MSAR indicates that 75/275 people are accepted off it. I think in a previous cycle, the “HPWL” email and the waitlist email had the same text towards the end of the cycle. That being said, it seems like a decent number of people on sdn who were on the “HPWL” got off at some point. I’d love to hear if anyone has more info on the chances of getting off the WL after receiving the regular WL email.
I interviewed the second week of February and got the March Update email first.
Same. My interview was in early February and I also received the March update email about a month after that.
Same here but no email this morning....... congrats to you both tho!

So are we expecting A's today? Or maybe tomorrow?
Got April update email, interviewed 3/19. Said they will make a decision after April. For those of you with the March update, did you send an LOI? And if I want to ask for a scholarship (to match another school) should I include it in the LOI?

Thank you! It really was a nice surprise after the March Update email. And I interviewed during the second week of February.

Still silence for me as well (3/1). Maybe they forgot about us lol
you didnt get the march update email either?
The march update email was sent out almost manually to each student so it may take some time for the April update email to trickle in for all of us

Nope! I haven't heard anything post-interview. Guess I'll just hang tight for the April update.

Seeing some people on here who actually got updated following the "March Update" email. I really hope an email comes out this week.
I feel like they forgot about us
