+1+1 OOS II tonight, also having trouble getting into the portal...
I have most of this secondary complete, I am wondering if its worth submitting since I have two issues. I am not close with my mother and she went to a different country so I do not know when and where she attended her education, and I am very non-trad and graduated undergrad 10 years ago and do not have a LOR from a major/undergrad professor would I just be wasting money sending this secondary?

i submitted my secondary 7/18 and am just now realizing i never got the "EINSTEIN - Application Complete" email... all my documentation should've been received already, i have no idea what's missing since i haven't heard anything else back from them at all. they said "not to call the office unless it's absolutely necessary because it will delay the process" but i should email them right??? kind of really panicking now

yep they're in a letter packet compiled by a pre-health committee, and i haven't had any other issues with the same letter packet submitted to other schools 😭😭 feel so stupid for not noticing this until nowI got mine like two days after the initial RECEIVED email. are all ur letters in and do they all have signatures and letterhead?
It would be a better idea to call in my opinion, they have not been very responsive via email, can't blame them with all the apps they are processing.Yeah I received it about one day after, so I would definitely email them.

i know they say each application should be reviewed within 8 weeks. does that mean they should tell us something by the 8 week mark?

Bump on this!Anyone know what Einstein's Interview-to-acceptance rate is? Do you think they are interviewing more people (and thus selecting from a larger pool) this year to really hone in on mission fit?

Has anyone received confirmation after submitting applicant agreement form? I submitted it but did not receive confirmation. The warning that they will cancel your interview if you don't submit it by Friday is scaring me...

I emailed them directly to ask if they received it, didn't get an email or anything.

I thought it was in Feb 🥲so the earliest you’ll get a decision is March 1st? Seems kind of late doesn’t it?

I just checked the sdn from last year and it seems like the first acceptances were sent out February 1st so maybe (hopefully) we can hear back before March too 🥲I thought it was in Feb 🥲

Hi! Can anyone give any insight on the interview day? My previous interviews had pretty extensive Zoom information sessions, but it looks like it is just a 1 hour interview and student information session at 4:30. Is this correct or am I missing something?

That is how they do it. It's open file and was actually pretty short.

My interviewer disagreed with me or corrected me on a bunch of stuff. It seemed like for some of it she was just trying to incite discussion but idk if it was that or just that she didn’t like me [emoji24]

Mine was similar, but about 45 minutes.My interview was 30 mins with 15 minutes of me asking questions................
It was open file and they didn't ask any ridiculous questions or make it into an inquisition. To be honest, I don't see the point of those questions. Either someone has appropriate social skills, a personality, makes eye contact, and seems genuine or they don't. If you can't tell from someone's application and a 30 minute interview if someone is a good fit, you're not going to figure it out in an hour or 2. Certainly not by asking them what kind of tree they would be.
I get why some schools like MMI as it in theory puts all candidates on equal footing, but that's not true anyway. Not every candidate starts on the same step and most applicants have studied all the ethics for MMI and have taken Casper.

so you think it's okay?Mine was similar, but about 45 minutes.

I think so. I don't think the shorter time or lack of questions is a red flag. These are still early interviews so I doubt they looked at our apps and said no way I'm wasting time interviewing this applicant.so you think it's okay?
does anyone know how long the info session that starts at 4:30 lasts?

The one I attended was around 45 min. It’s very dependent on how many questions people have
Is it formal or casual dress? Thanks!!The one I attended was around 45 min. It’s very dependent on how many questions people have
