Hello once again!
I just wanted to update everyoneon what happened with Albert Einstein since I heard from them last week. Well, after <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> 16 WEEKS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> of waiting for an answer, they didn't outright reject me. An administrator named Lorraine Mango, said they wanted me to go to the Univ. of Buffalo to take science courses for a year. As long as I maintained a B average throughout the whole year, that they would automatically accept me in the following year. I had never heard of such a thing, and I wasn't liking the idea the moment she told me. I can't put off med school for another year, without a guarantee that I'd get in. She said this program was for special applicants or something, but as it turned out I wasn't eligible for the program because according to the rules in order to be in this program you had to not have any acceptances from any med school. I have an acceptance from UMDNJ-RWJ (they knew that already because I told them that in my letter of interests). Anyway, Kerrigan said she couldn't make any exceptions, and completing this program was the only way I could go to Einstein. So essentially they had to reject me.
I'm not terribly upset, because they put me in a real bad position that I didn't appreciate. Granted, my grades are not the best, but their school is not worth jumping through hoops for.
I have an interview at Downstate on Wednesday. I'm waitlisted at two school and waiting to hear from three. I don't think I'm in bad shape.
WATCH OUT THOUGH!!. I didn't like what they did to me. Be cautious if a school takes too long getting back to you.
Thanks for all of your help.
