2020-2021 Albert Einstein

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
just got the "April update" e-mail that says "This email comes to inform you that the Committee on Admissions was very favorably impressed with your application, and delighted that we had the opportunity to meet you. At this time, however, we are not able to provide you with a final decision; we hope to have a more definitive answer for you in a few weeks."

WTF DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?! I AM DYING TO GO HERE

Sounds like they probably want to see how their class size stands on May 1st and go from there.
 
Do we have to select “commit to enroll” today or can we just select “plan to enroll”?

If you have multiple acceptances, today you need to narrow them down to one and contact each of the other schools directly to withdraw.

CTE opened today; it is not the deadline for CTE. Einstein (and each school) has their own CTE deadline. Once you do CTE, you must withdraw from any waitlist spots directly as well.
 
Got a still interested! Does history say this a good thing to receive at this point?

Dear 2.9GPA,

Thank you for having accepted a place on our wait list. Now that April 30 has past, and students who were holding multiple places have been asked to narrow their choice to one school, we are emailing you to see if you remain interested in joining us at Einstein, should a place come open? If you have already been accepted to your first choice school, we sincerely congratulate you, and ask that you let us know that you wish to be withdrawn from further consideration by emailing X.

If Einstein remains your top choice, please email me, directly, by Friday, May 14. If you wish to withdraw, we will be sorry to lose you but we want you to select the school that is the best fit for you.

If you are admitted, you will have 5 days to make your decision, and to remit your non-refundable deposit. During that time, we will send you a series of "Chats with the Deans" videos, and you will be invited to a live "Chat" with the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, Dr. Joshua Nosanchuk, as well as a live "Chat" with a panel of Einstein students.

I look forward to hearing from you; you have our best wishes for all future success.

Thank you,
Dean Kerrigan

I'm wondering if it's even worth staying on the regular WL at this point. I really liked Einstein, but probably wouldn't attend over my current A unless it was cheaper. Seems unlikely that we would get financial aid info in 5 days though.

It doesn't hurt to stay on it, in my opinion, unless you're happy with your current options. It definitely seems like the odds are slim for regular WL folks though, but there does seem to be a bit more movement this year so anything is possible.
 
has anyone reached out post march update to see what their decision timeline is looking like?
 
I think someone else in this thread tried and got a non-reply that was like "when a decision is made we will let you know" basically.

That was me lol. I wrote them post-interview (did not receive March update), but I imagine the response would be the same.
 
Does anyone have any insight into how the MSTP waitlist works? I haven't received any emails besides confirmations for periodic updates I've sent

Praying that some A's/still interested emails go out tmrw or something this week! 🙏
I interviewed on April 13th, haven’t received any update letters or still interested emails! Any thoughts! And congrats on receiving the the still interested email!
