[Decaying_Isotope]

Do yall know if Albert Einstein takes update letters?

According to MSAR they do

 

[tryingmyverybest]

When is a good time to send an update here? Interviewed in september, over a month ago

I believe decisions don't release until February, so you have a good chunk of time.

 

[medicalthoughts33]

According to MSAR they do

(current student here) Yes, they like to hear updates! But wouldn't do more than 1-2, and if you don't have much to say/report on, I would hold off until January. If you have had a paper published or have something else you think impacts your file, email sooner. If you're just reiterating your interest I would recommend holding off a bit.

First acceptances are expected no earlier than March 1st (was pushed back this year per admissions)

not really sure i know what that means, if that "adds" to your perspective/connection to einstein sure? If this is just something you're adding to your CV then no? Your judgement

 

[restingduck]

Does Einstein take pre-II updates?

 

[TheHumanSlimjim]

I was complete 9/4, did you get any interviews or updates before they sent out your interview?

IS II LM 63 Complete date 9/1

 

[deleted1202627]

[VINILOVER123]

Hey yea I have had some interview invites and I have not send updates. Had hard time understanding question hope this helps

 

[anxiousacademicscientist]

[LaCroixIsLife]

I don't think they send out acceptances till February, correct me if I am wrong (I would like to know sooner lol)

[tryingmyverybest]

This is what they told us in our session unfortunately.

[tryingmyverybest]

I don’t want to wait until March 1 🤣

oops I meant why is it later than usual

 

[robot_soup]

[deleted1198366]

OOS II, complete mid august

 

[StarGalaxy]

I wonder if they're going to send out any more IIs~

 

[themostgulliable]

+1 II! IS applicant, app complete early September.

 

[MiddleEMed]

Any international applicants hear back from Einstein? Complete 7/14 here and nothing... was really hoping for an II – I live in the area and have volunteered/shadowed there.

 

[FutureMD2025]

I have not received a secondary. Is it time to forget about this cycle?

Similar situation, radio silence. Complete 7/27

 

[gotouchgrass]

Given that we wont hear decisions till March, if i interviewed in the fall when is a good time to send the first update letter/letter of interest?

 

[Nontrad_App_098]

I thought every applicant gets a secondary for Einstein

 

[shadysensei]

Check your spam box or give them a call. The deadline for the secondary was 10/15, but if its a technical error there might be a chance!

 

[FutureMD2025]

The deadline for the secondary was 10/15

Per MSAR, that is the primary deadline; anyway, I will have to call them.

Also wondering this

 

[penguindoc2]

what's the dress code for the real talk sessions?

 

[medicalthoughts33]

what's the dress code for the real talk sessions?

casual dress! its just students, has absolutely no impact on your admissions process, it is for YOU to learn about the school

 

[medicalthoughts33]

Also wondering this

around January

 

[deleted1180326]

any july completers recently get II?

 

[medicalthoughts33]

Any idea where we would even be able to submit a letter of intent for this school? Portal doesn't seem to let you upload anything.

Email admissions

 

[MiddleEMed]

Email admissions

And report back plz 😅

Do u think its too early to send a letter of intent?

 

[chcknmed]

Do u think its too early to send a letter of intent?

I've been wondering this too. I heard it's good practice to send it 1-2 months after you interview, but other people are saying January. I interviewed in September and was thinking about sending one today. Are we just supposed to email the admissions office?

if you feel strongly about sending something now, do it!
Yes update/intent/thank you letters etc should all go to admissions office and they add it to your file

 

[Outlandish123]

Does Einstein accept Pre-II update letters?

 

[kttm]

Does Einstein accept Pre-II update letters?

They do, you'd have to email them

 

[Nontrad_App_098]

They do, you'd have to email them

Is this true? On MSAR, it says "Interviewed applicants, only, may submit their letters of intent, interest and notice of significant updates or achievements via a link to the Applicant Portal that will be sent to interviewed students beginning in the late fall."

 

[tryingmyverybest]

for those who have interviewed - have u sent any letters (ex: update)? and if so, how did u submit it?

 

[medicalthoughts33]

for the 30th time, please send update letters (but really only if there is something to actually update the school about) directly to admissions via email

 

[Warbury]

Are "update letters" the same as "letters of intent" or "check-in letters"?

If a school didn't send a reply yet by Thanksgiving, would it be okay to send an email to them?

Idk my rule of thumb is write an update wrapped in a letter of interest, and send it (unless the schools does not accept them). What do you have to lose? They wont reject you cuz of that, and maybe it might help one adcom person to put you a little higher on the list. I personally emailed mine

update letters are not the same as letters of intent. Update letters are an expansion of continued letters of interest, however it incorporates new updates to activities that you feel are important for admissions to know. Intent letters state that if accepted, you will attend that school. That's why you should only send an intent letter to one school. However, it isn't 100% binding bc I know some people who sent intent letters but didn't attend that school due to numerous reasons.

sorry if this is stupid but what is their admissions email address....?

 

[salmonsalad123]

How casual is the student info session? If I have to work during the same time and there's a chance I would get called away in the middle and need to sign off abruptly, is it still appropriate to go or should I not attend?

Very casual! No admissions people present iirc

 

[TheCasualAce]

Who should we address letters of intent to? I can see on their website that Noreen Kerrigan is the Associate Dean of Admissions, but I was told in a previous email to send updates to Ms. Dina Nardi. Is that still the case now that the update portal is open?
