I got an email today that Einstein wants my Fall 2024 transcript as soon as it comes out. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? They said "prior to further consideration of your application, the Adcoms has requested a copy of your transcript..." I know others have already gotten IIs so I'm confused by this email

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
 
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.
 
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?
 
I have not received a secondary. Is it time to forget about this cycle?
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!
 
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
 
I attend here. Have a lot to say. Some bad, some good. Shoot me a message if you want to hear my thoughts- I'm not part of my school's admission committee or whatever and will talk about the good and bad in equal amounts in a way I think premeds deserve to know before making a decision as impactful as interviewing or attending any school.
Hi! I couldn’t DM you for some reason
