2024-2025 Einstein

Members don't see this ad.

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

Anyone still waiting to enter the curriculum session tonight?

Anyone still waiting to enter the curriculum session tonight?

Yup

 

[medicalthoughts33]

thanks!! is it like a camera on, discussion type of meeting with a few people or more of a bigger group listening thing?

camera on chatting with students only!

 

[Dapper Duck]

If you are waitlisted and Einstein is really your top choice, I would recommend communicating this to adcom!

What’s the best way to submit updates after we’ve been waitlisted? Is it that same portal they gave us a while back or is there a new one?

 

[hockeydoc93]

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!

 

[AnthonyFauci]

What’s the lowest MCAT accepted this cycle ?

would email dean kerrigan if you have an update (but not more than like ~1x month unless you have a significant update)

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!)

 

[medicalthoughts33]

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

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 year

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.

 

[takotsubochronic]

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

 

[bombor10]

For everybody who got the "rolling admissions" email. Are you going to send that email a letter of intent or something? I'm so done with writing stuff. I already gave them an extensive update/interest letter...

 

[medicalthoughts33]

the class size is 165, the 120 is fake news 🙂 !

 

[ti188]

is it confirmed that any interviews from this week on are for waitlist spots?

 

[Elite-Water]

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

 

[mdtob3]

Are 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!

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 correct

 

[runaway_jim]

anyone know when the next date they send out decisions is?

That's honestly wonderful to hear! Thanks for the update, I'll delete my comment. Apologies again if my (mis)information caused any stress.

 

[golden_retriever_fan]

So for everyone who hasn’t heard yet, what are we thinking. Anyone gotten a response? This waiting is lovely

yeah. very sure lol

 

[medicalthoughts33]

yeah. very sure lol

after free tuition class size went from ~183 to 165, it is not expected to get smaller.

 

[armadilloprincess1123]

Does anyone know if there is an accepted students groupme or anything of that sort?

there is a discord, admissions will send a link if they havent yet

 

[takotsubochronic]

This is the first time i've heard of a med school discord and I am all for it

 

[lostinthemaze]

when do people anticipate any HPWL movement?

 

[mamaMother]

for anyone thats interviewed here, whats the general interview vibe like?

 

[lawnmower101]

for anyone thats interviewed here, whats the general interview vibe like?

Mine was super chill the doc was really nice, i got WL though

 

[mamaMother]

how long is the interview?

 

[olive101]

Do we really think any more interviews will be going out here? I know last year there was another wave after the first round of acceptances but I haven't heard of or seen anything yet.

 

[Malignwine]

Did everyone receive an email Feb 1 on an intermediate decision? Realizing I've had radio silence this entire cycle and not knowing what to think....

What do you mean an intermediate decision?

 

[Malignwine]

What do you mean an intermediate decision?

I had seen on the front of the application portal that "Applicants are notified of their intermediate or final disposition beginning February 1." Honestly not sure what they meant by it either other than that....

[MDterminator]

Does anyone want to start a GroupMe for accepted students?

 

[medicalthoughts33]

does anyone know the expected timeline for decisions if you interviewed in the last 1-2 weeks?

there's no real gauge, but historically the adcom sends batches early in each month until it gets to mid may, and then it can be whenever randomly a seat opens

 

[golden_retriever_fan]

Seems like April

 

[djngwke]

is einstein still giving out acceptances next wave? it seems not many received an A this time around compared to past years where they gave out all their A's first wave

Someone posted here that a school must give enough acceptances to fill their prospective class by March 15th. Assuming that they didn't accept 160+ people on March 5th, they will need to do something this week to reach that mark. This is a real rule, so the only way in which they wouldn't send out more acceptances is if they already admitted the entire class and everyone else is going on WL or R (I have no idea how many ppl were accepted last week).

Based on all the publicly available information I can find (SDN, admit.org, attendance numbers at admitted student sessions and on the student discord), i don't think their class is currently full. I could be wrong, but I'm interested in seeing what happens in the next few days

Where did you get the discord? Admitted but didn’t see a link anywhere!

 

[runaway_jim]

from what i can see on cycle track is that they have admitted 2/3 of the number of people as they did last year, so assuming that the cycletrack sample is the same in response rate between the years they probably got another 55 applicants to admit

 

[PistachioSkies]

wait where are folks getting the they have to admit their whole class by March 15th?

 

[lostinthemaze]

wait where are folks getting the they have to admit their whole class by March 15th?

It's on the AAMC's website under traffic rules: Traffic Rules

I dont have exact numbers, this is just based off what i've been told from a friend whose been admitted. take it with a grain of salt

 

[GaloreDiamond]

I’m pretty sure that the rule says that they have to admit minimum they people that they’ll have in their class. If that’s a class size of like ~150, they have likely already admitted that many. However, that does not mean the remaining 100ish they still will accept for yield purposes will happen before then.
