Post Interview October, Rejection at 10am on the dot this morning. I'm having an existential crisis right now 👤

I wonder if there will be WL movement at all…. 🙁((

There was a fair bit of WL movement last year after the free tuition announcement. Just need to have patience!

The way I thought of it, not EVERYONE needs/wants the free tuition. For some people, its not a factor (parents are paying for it, have scholarships elsewhere, etc.) so there will definitely end up being some WL movement.

Do you think this only applies for HPWL? Or is there normal WL movement too?

+1 IS Rolling admissions just now

Anyone else still waiting?

Anyone else still waiting?

Still waiting, interviewed in Sep

 

[future.d0ct0r]

Will they email with a response of some sort of decision or is no response their rejection? Or meaning they didn’t consider our application after interview

 

[Pyruvate33]

Any current student here, have a couple of questions about the school.

I am! feel free to pm

 

[britannicae]

hey! for everyone with an A, did you get a confirmation email after signing the acceptance acknowledgment form? I got one after signing the technical standards, but not for the acknowledgment. thank you!!

i did not get a confirmation email for the acknowledgment form, but i was planning to email dean kerrigan to double check bc i’m paranoid 😅

 

[RN2MD1124]

Am I cooked if I've heard absolutely nothing so far? I have other acceptances and I want to move on with my life lol

im in the same boat. just ready for it to be over, but also don't want to miss out on something

 

[notsoeasy]

does anyone know what the real talk discussions on fridays at 330 are like? like is it casual or more formal?

 

[cyclefuturedoc]

Does anyone know where to forward background checks to? Having such issues

 

[LeapingLeopard]

Does anyone know where to forward background checks to? Having such issues

Yes! I have been wondering the same, maybe it will be covered in an upcoming zoom meeting? No response to my email thus far

 

[armadilloprincess1123]

I called certiphi today and they said it should have been released to them whenever we initially filled out the certiphi background check. Also emailed Einstein and have heard nothing.

 

[plmd]

Does anyone know how to send updates? I cant find an upload option on the portal or online 🙁

super casual, the Office of Diversity sponsored student groups specifically hold this to give prospective students an opportunity to talk with students in those communities! (including but not limited to LGBTQ+, Jewish, Asian American, Muslim etc)

 

[medicalthoughts33]

Congrats to those who've heard back!
As a general PSA, please don't spread misinformation on expected follow up etc. The admissions process is ongoing, there are still interviews happening, possibly some to go still go out (as current student we don't know this info for sure, however last year interviews went until March at least). A lot of intention was put into this cycle to try to avoid the free tuition from dramatically changing the types of students Einstein admits to create a diverse and collaborative student body.

Every medical school has waitlist movement - I wouldn't lose hope! It's hard to say what movement will look like this early on in the season and given that students will hold to multiple A's for another few weeks. If you are waitlisted and Einstein is really your top choice, I would recommend communicating this to adcom!

Best of luck to all, if you're an Admitted student, hope to see you on campus in the fall, free to DM with questions.

 

[firstgrenpremed]

Yes I sent an email but no response…

Any response yet?

Thank you so much for this message!!! :')
Based on your experience/your classmates' experiences, could you possibly explain the distinction between those who received "rolling admissions" emails vs "waitlist" emails? Does this mean "rolling admissions" people will hear back sooner? struggling to understand what the difference is between these statuses, and how that impacts future notifications/timeline and such

thanks!! is it like a camera on, discussion type of meeting with a few people or more of a bigger group listening thing?

 

[jamming7007]

Any response yet?

Nope

 

[thundershock2513]

I emailed the admission office, apparently the wording is pretty bad. If you did the background check before for another acceptance then you are all good to go. They should receive the check in the next few days is what I was told.

You only need to reach out to Certephi if you got another acceptance and HAVEN't done the background check. Thats because Certephi doesn't send another email to register for the background check after the first one so you would need to reach out to them to receive the consent to register for one.

The wording implied that we had to somehow send the check to Einstein but that isn't the case. I also called admissions, Certephi, AND AAMC to ask about the release policy too since I was tweaking about it

Anyone still waiting to enter the curriculum session tonight?

Yup

camera on chatting with students only!

What’s the best way to submit updates after we’ve been waitlisted? Is it that same portal they gave us a while back or is there a new one?

 

[hockeydoc93]

does anybody know if there are any updates re: the LCME accreditation? i heard the site visit was in february but they didn't mention anything about how it went at the dean's chat tn ;-; would love if a current student could chime in!

 

[AnthonyFauci]

What’s the lowest MCAT accepted this cycle ?

 

[medicalthoughts33]

would email dean kerrigan if you have an update (but not more than like ~1x month unless you have a significant update)

 

[medicalthoughts33]

site visit went well, basically we will get re evaluated in June-ish, tldr there is simply no way the school got worse, but it's like remotely possible we don't have enough data (yet) to prove changes/improvements are good (they are but sometimes LCME wants like 2 years of data, which would be impossible in the reevaluation time frame) so worst case we continue for another year of more monitoring... but basically I really really would not factor this into decision making... (though if you really think about it, it's honestly good that the school is more aggressive in fixing problems rn!)

historically rolling admissions was a better indicator of potential admission over "wait list" however I am not sure if this will be consistent with this year

roughly admission waves are in the early of the month until late April when they then get to 1:1 filling the class as people withdraw/accept.

 

[takotsubochronic]

do we know how many seats have been filled so far? someone said there's only 120 this year so :\

 

[bombor10]

For everybody who got the "rolling admissions" email. Are you going to send that email a letter of intent or something? I'm so done with writing stuff. I already gave them an extensive update/interest letter...

 

[medicalthoughts33]

the class size is 165, the 120 is fake news 🙂 !

 

[ti188]

is it confirmed that any interviews from this week on are for waitlist spots?

 

[Elite-Water]

Did anyone who hasn't hear back yet get a response from admissions about decisions?

 

[mdtob3]

Are you sure about that? I have it on decent authority that they reduced the class size this year for the first time. Happy to be wrong and rescind my comment about this...

I apologize for the misinformation if I'm wrong!

My interviewer who is also a department chair told me this year’s class size was being reduced slightly. He mentioned a similar guesstimate of ~160 students this cycle, instead of their typical average of ~170. I believe the med student is correct

 

[runaway_jim]

anyone know when the next date they send out decisions is?

That's honestly wonderful to hear! Thanks for the update, I'll delete my comment. Apologies again if my (mis)information caused any stress.

after free tuition class size went from ~183 to 165, it is not expected to get smaller.
