There was a fair bit of WL movement last year after the free tuition announcement. Just need to have patience!I wonder if there will be WL movement at all…. 🙁((
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?There was a fair bit of WL movement last year after the free tuition announcement. Just need to have patience!

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

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.Yes!

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

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.

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

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

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!)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!

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 yearThank you so much for this message!!! :')

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

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