Is it worth mentioning that I have a sibling currently attending the medical school? They got rid of section E asking about family members this year.

I'd say its definitely worth mentioning. Maybe in the Anything Else essay
 
I accidentally already assigned the max 5 letters to Einstein but didn't see that they required a letter from a faculty member of your major department. I ended up getting one after I realized, but now I have 6 letters total. Should I contact the admissions to let them know that I've added or should I just not assign the 6th letter? If I assign it should I note it somewhere that one of the letters should be disregarded since their max is 5?
Did you get a response?
 
"As an undergraduate, I transferred from one college to another. If you answered, "yes" to the above question, please explain."

For this question, would a transfer from one college to another in the same university count as yes?

Typically not. My immediate assumption is that question meaning one different institution from your original.
Changing "colleges" at the same university is more like changing your major than anything else.

hey yall for the question regarding employment "If you were employed during the academic year, other than during winter and summer breaks, please write the number of hours you worked per week, and tell us what you did and why you were employed.", would yall count the year-long awards/fellowships that provided a stipend? it is not necessarily employment but rather I was an awardee of the program if that makes sense

Unless you worked specific hours to fulfill this stipend, it is a scholarship. If you were a teaching or research assistant that usually says 10 or 20 hours per week it would be considered employment.

ok for one of them it was a required number of hours per week and the other was at my discretion to do the research project award. thanks!

Anyone having issues with the portal? I can't find the button to upload photos or complete my secondary application. I have already submitted the essays.
 
for the languages question did you guys list the languages you speak or should we write a paragraph?
 
Is it normal to not receive a confirmation email after submitting the secondary? I have the payment receipt but no confirmation email. I checked my spam too

In my experience schools that use this style of portal tend not to send confirmation emails, didn't get one from USF either. I did get a complete email about a week after I submitted tho

What other schools have secondaries that are similar to Albert Einstein in terms of the difficulty or creativity needed to complete them? they do not even have a "Why Us?" question :)
 
Is it too late to add this school?

Did anyone who scheduled their interview receive an email confirmation after signing the Applicant Agreement Form?

I only received a confirmation after scheduling the interview, not after the Applicant Agreement Form.
