Congrats everyone on your acceptances! What was the deadline you were given to respond?

Based on Einstein’s website, acceptances given after April 30th, have 5 business days to respond. If someone could confirm this, that’d be great!

I am not sure if it is business days; it might just be days. My acceptance was this morning and it says I have "5 days from now" and it's due Monday May 24
 
Has anyone else gotten a scholarship offer?
I only received an email saying they'll notify me by May 24th if I qualify for one.

Hey everyone. I know that this has been clarified a million times, but I just wanted to make sure for my neurotic brain. I just got a rolling admissions email - is this their version of the high priority waitlist? Just confused because nowhere in the rolling admissions email does it say the word waitlist but on the website, the options are to accept/decline your option on the waitlist.

Also, for any people who got off rolling admissions, what was the time period between Dean Kerrigan's "still interested" emails and your rolling admissions? Also, did you send a LOI?
 
Rolling admissions (HPWL) email a short while ago!

Early April interview, IS status. I was given until May 28 to respond (so perhaps a wave of A’s will occur in early June)

I got an email about a background check yesterday when the report was released two months ago. Do I have to send it specifically to Einstein? It doesn’t look like an option...
 
i feel like at this point theyre bad cause they're only accepting off HPWL it looks like :/ seeing how many of us are there i have very low hopes lol
True, I had low hopes for Einstein to begin with just due to my stats and OOS status. But, I just don't know where the ambiguous update emails fit in the hierarchy of A > HPLW > WL > R.

Yes, as far as we can tell, the Rolling Admissions email is the unofficial HPWL, and has different language than the regular WL email which specifically states waitlist in the email.

I got the HPWL email at the beginning of May and sent a LOI in response.

How long are people Typically making their LOIs? I don’t have any updates since my last letter so trying to gauge.

A few paragraphs should suffice, a page at most; I focused on specific reasons for why I wanted to go to Einstein as I also did not have substantial updates to offer
