That’s also what I got from that email.. thinking it’s more that they haven’t decided on a WL or acceptance yet so maybe an update/LOI would be beneficial
silence here lmfao
Yup
I interviewed back in September and also got this. Asking the same questions as you, who really knows at this point. I see someone else who interviewed last week got the same email so idk what to make of it. What a long/tough wait it has been, just love this school and am hoping for the best.
Btw, not sure if things have changed since I applied. But I can say for sure that I sent them multiple emails post-interview saying they were my top choice, and I think that the school is responsive to that.
Thanks so much for taking the time to shed some light on this! Would you happen to have any insight into what the “application remains under review” email tends to result in? Do people who receive this also tend to get waitlisted in March?
I actually don't remember reading about anyone getting an email like that when I applied 2 years ago, which makes me wonder if something has changed in the way they're doing applications. People were either accepted, rejected, or just heard nothing on Feb 1 like me (as far as I know). But if I were you, I would just consider replying to that email re-expressing your interest in Einstein and sadly there's nothing else to do but wait 🙁 fingers crossed for you all !
I am getting that message too.
This happened to me a while ago when I was filling it out. What worked for me was putting my *full* zipcode, not just the first 5 numbers. Check your AMCAS application and make sure the zipcode you are entering is identical to the one you have on your AMCAS app
I also called Certiphi and they said the same exact thing to me! They also confirmed to me that the background check had been delivered yesterday (the day of my acceptance) to Einstein so hopefully, it is received. Lmk if there are any updates on your end!
Yup I am entering the identical zipcode. I had recently filled out Certiphi using the same ApplicationStation code for a different school so I am assuming that is why they are not letting me do it again. Is this your first time filling out certiphi?
got it, I guess this seems like the best case scenario for us who didn’t get a definitive decision the other day. I just wonder if they do this to people who interviewed later so that they can gauge how many people they are going to accept. also interesting bc I think they sent out those “high priority wait list” emails in March last year so hopefully we could get accepted soon
Yeah def best case scenario for anyone who interviewed too late to hear back on feb 1. That MS1 said they heard back in around May last year so I’m hoping we don’t have to wait that long to hear back hahaha
+1 interviewed in September, LM 74.5
I got this too and I interviewed 11/23 so idk what to make of it - people who interviewed on my date and after me got As.
Seems to be high priority wait list - they are leaning toward admitting us but are waiting to see (a) how badly we want it and (b) if they have the space for us. They don't want to wait list us as they're hoping to admit us soon, but they also need to know we want them and that they have the space. It's not as good as an acceptance but it's a pretty promising sign. At least that's how I'm interpreting it based on what current students have said and based on prior years threads. Hope this helps!
yeah I’m thinking it’s the same thing! pretty promising for sure. hopefully we can hear back soon instead of later in the spring which is what happened last year.
I hope so! Been such a long wait already. I wanted to add though that in my email they did have me accept a spot on the wait list so what I said about them not wanting to wait list us was partially untrue. But at the same time, it def seems to be a different type of wait list email than others have received and an indicator of the other stuff I said. Wishing you the best of luck and hope to see you in The Bronx next year!!
Yes I did. I sent my update at 9pm and received a confirmation email around noon the next day.
Yeah, my rolling admissions email also asked me to write back indicating interest in addition to having me confirm a spot on the wait list.
Glad I can help. I got in off the waitlist so I know the stress and the hours spent combing threads for information, so hoping I can make it a little easier for you guys! Anyone can feel free to reach out with any questions 🙂
Rolling admissions is considered the HPWL. Regular waitlist will not say rolling admission in the email.
I also sent a long update about a week prior to receiving this email. As such, I sent a brief statement of interest including reasons I wanted to attend but didn't write a long love letter or anything like that. Just wanted to make sure they knew I was in fact still interested after placement on their HPWL. I figure I'll give it a month or so and if I still haven't heard from them then it would be appropriate to write another longer letter. If you haven't already sent something I hope this helps - good luck to you!
Thank you! I sent mine yesterday but essentially did the same thing. Best of luck to you, too!
