Congrats Vinsanity! I think you are in!! After all that waiting too... :clap: :clap:

Barb: Don't worry about the second look. I am pretty sure it's just for 'minority' students. I have been accepted to Sinai but didn't receive an invitation to the second look. I'm assuming it's because I'm not a URM.

Good luck everyone!
 
any news from people still waiting for decisions???

I also would want to add to the thread what Yunfat found out.
Sinai is done sending out invitations for interviews.

Nope, not in. Waitlisted. Just got my letter today. They really want me to wait it out. I still don't fully understand why they invited me to the second look thing if i'm not accepted. I really don't want to spend more money flying down to NYC again when my possibilities of getting in are not sure.

Well, I guess I'll have to appear on the end of April to show that I'm really interested in the school.
 
adding myself to the waitlisted batch. Well, at least I finally heard from them.

well vinsanity and everyone else, won't you all join me in my fury against mt. sinai.

mount sinai can suck my balls. can i get an amen...
 
Amen to that....
 
amen :) the wait continues...
 
Vinsaniyt,

No worries my friend. At least it isn't a rejection! I am confident that when August rolls around, you and I (and anyone else who wants to be at MSSM) will be sipping cafe latte in the student lounge.

Good luck!
 
Vinsanity, don't give up the fight! You may not have gotten in cleanly but an eventual acceptance off the waitlist is an acceptance nonetheless!

I'm still waiting..... hope they don't keep my hanging for much longer.
 
JerBear!

Keep your hopes up high.

Vinsanity, I think that two years ago (according to USNEWS.com) they accepted 285 for 105 spots. Does anyone know what it was for last year's?
 
hey vinsanity,

i can't believe they took this long to put you on the waitlist... :mad: hang in there, we all want to see you get in! looking forward to seeing this incredible thread end with that "I GOT IN" post!

write that love letter to MSSM as soon as you can! tell them it's your first choice, update them, etc. etc. etc. and definitely go to the second look weekend... while you are there, see if you can talk with the dean of admissions... tell him/her that MSSM is your first choice!!!

by the way, congrats on exceding 100 posts on this thread! (maybe you could send the admin office a copy of this whole thing! you should get credit just for your perseverence :wink: )

keep the hope alive!

I already wrote them a "love letter" so I really don't know what to add to my application. I probably will just fed-ex them the waitlist reply and go to the revisit this end of april. I think they know that I really want to go to Sinai cause I told my interviewers. I'm a bit upset and confused on why they would invite me on the revisit if they aren't sure on accepting me. But I am really interested in Sinai so I will wait and persevere. There is still hope in me.

Do you guys know if the number of accepted student last year include waitlists??? I wonder how many student they pull off waitlists???

Another thing I would like to add to the thread is, could people who are accepted to Sinai now and in the future post when they withdraw. Also could accepted people post if they will attend Sinai 100%. Thanks
 
I dont remember where I heard this from, but I heard that in the past, people who are at the very top of the waitlist are invited to come to the second look weekend, because basically they will eventually recieve an acceptance. So, visanity...it really does not seem that you are in a bad position at all. Though, I know that is easier said then done.

Good luck!
 
I believe they accepted 283 people last year for 105 spots. That is ~2.7 acceptances for every spot! Considering they're expanding the class to 120 this year, that means they'll have to accept 324 people to fill the class. That's means 204 people will be pulled off the waiting list! God I hope I get in! =)

Does anyone know how many people are on the waiting list?
 
Was just reading a "Gower" post on another board. Gower mentions that ~15% of the class is made up of waitlisted students. That isn't as many as I initially thought it was. That must mean that a lot of people are already accepted. ~15% means that of a class size of 120 people, 18 will be waitlisted students. That isn't a whole lot of movement!

But back to the theoretical 324 students accepted, does that mean that already accepted ~300 students for a class size of 120? That seems a bit outrageous, doesn't everyone think?

I need your thoughts! Vinsanity, where art thou?

Btw, for your convenience, here's the original Gower post:

" Could you please tell me how many people are placed on Mount Sinai's waitlist and the likelihood of getting accepted from the waitlist?

There is a single, ranked wait-list which is reordered weekly. Wait-listed may submit additional information. Wait-listed/advisors may call about status, but there is usually lttle to tell. Greatest movement: June-August. About 15% of the class is accepted after June 15."
 
adding gmendese to rejected batch. gmendese, don't worry about the rejection you've got great schools wanting you to go already. :)

I personally think there will more movement in the waitlist this year because students might be reluctant in choosing Sinai due to its current financial situation. I really don't care. Sinai is still an excellent school. So sit tight Jase133 it's just a matter of time.

I just called today confirming my attendance at the Sinai revisit who else is planning to go?? Please notify me so I could meet some of you guys!!

Jase133 I too agree with you about the fact that Sinai has accepted 300 students already is outragious. But you never know.

I think we should call Sinai and ask what is the rough estimate size of their waitlist and when they will start pulling people off.
 
!@#$$ each time I try posting the server goes bad. I'd wish they fix this thing once and for all.
 
see previous post
 
has anyone heard any news from sinai recently???
 
Hey Vinsanity,

looks like we're in the same exact position. I received my waitlist last week and was subsequently invited to their 2nd look. Pretty frustrating since I really loved their school. :p

Are all the waitlist letters the same??? Mine sounded optimistic saying I am an "acceptable applicant" and that I am in a "favorable position." Did everybody get the same thing. I called up the school but they don't disclose rank on the waitlist which I find unfair.

Vinsanity and E01, are you both showing up to 2nd look? If so I'll see you there.
 
Yup. I got the same letter with the exact wording as you did. :)
 
Hopefully its true then. I'm pretty optimistic on Sinai so I get the feeling we'll be hanging in the best cafeteria in NYC (besides the corporate cafeterias, I hear MTV has the best) this fall. :)
 
Heya doppl - I'm coming next weekend. See you guys there :)
 
Hey see you guys on the revisit too!!! My letter was the same very optimistic. Hopefully we get in. See you guys there. :)

Does anyone know when Sinai will start pulling people off from their waitlist??? Or am I doomed to wait till july??
 
I believe starting May 15th with most movements in mid-June to late July.
 
E'01 and doppl, what are you guys wearing for the Sinai revisit? Do we have to wear a suit or is it casual??
 
Please no suit in this weather! I don't know what to wear - maybe a little halter top showing the midriff and some booty-hugging jeans should do it.

(J/K)
 
E'01 --- you're female?? :D
 
Hey folks --- I was just wondering

when is this second look day??
 
Is this the second look that was brought up before for minority students? If it is a general second look weekend, I'm nervous b/c I never received the invite. :confused: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> :confused:
 
This is the "Minority Re-visit weekend" everyone is talking about. It is April 26-27,2002.

Hope that helps.
 
JJ4 - the last time I checked - I was. Yep I'm a gal :) Why doesn't SInai have a regular re-visit weekend for all acceptees??
 
I'm thinking 2nd look is casual. Looks like we're going to a comedy club and maybe a party the next night! sounds fun. E'01, are you staying in the dorms? I don't think I will. It seems like more of a hassle if we're going out w/students anyways. Can't wait to see you in your halter top and hip huggers.
 
Doppl - c'mon now be a good boy. :D
I will be staying in the dorm just because I work right opposite it - makes no sense to take the 2-hour trek back home to Long Island. But - I am looking for off-campus housing if anyone has any ideas/suggestions. I have no spouse so I can't live in the other residence that Sinai owns. There are some low-income housing apartments which look nice and are within 2 blocks of Sinai on the Spanish Harlem area (it's an awesome area!) but I don't even make the minimum salary for one of the residences, and the other one takes into consideration my parent's income - like they'll be paying my rent! If all of you guys decide on going to Sinai, will you live in the dorms?
 
How did you hear about the comedy club? Did you get a schedule of events? I just got that 1 email. I need to know what time I should book my return train.
Hmmmm...

bebe no it wasn't in the email just word of mouth I guess. I heard from a friend of mine at Sinai said that HIS friend is organizing the re-visit weekend and yes it does include going to a comedy club.
 
Thanks Bebe2...are you going to Sinai for sure?
 
I am currently deciding between Pitt and Sinai. I would love to hear more opinions. I have done a comparision sheet. I know that mt. Sinai will be cheaper. But I have always said that I want to obtain an MPH (I was a public health major). At Pitt, you have to take an extra year for the MPH PLUS pay for it yourself (like an extra year of med school). Sinai has an MSc (not as recognized) but it is only 1,500 tuition and doesn't take an extra year.

But it is nice to be in this position finally.

I am waitlisted at Duke and Cornell, by the way. So who knows at this point!
 
Bebe2-

I am applying for the MSc at Sinai. It sounds like a great program.

Good luck with Duke and Cornell too. I am a Cornell undergrad, but I am not a big fan of the med school these days :wink:
 
comedy club and all!! wow!! E'01, bebe2, and doppl, have Sinai called you guys regarding the details of the revisit???
 
any other news today??
 
I'm so jealous you guys! I wanna come to the revisit weekend. Have fun!!
 
Come on over Caliboy! We'll trade spots - where did you get into? :D

Hey Vinsanity - I saw you on #newyork the other day but you left before I could say hi. I heard aboutt he club via a friend who works/studys (1st year) at Sinai. I'm not sure if it materialized or not...
 
E'01, you saw me??? I'm confused
 
any updates on sinai today??
