Can any admitted student talk about what needs to be done for financial aid? Not need-based, just federal loans. Do we just need to send Einstein that questionnaire and have completed FAFSA?
Yes. Also fill out the mastery promissory notes. You will receive another financial aid email with further instructions (or should have already if you're admitted).Can any admitted student talk about what needs to be done for financial aid?

By looking at the MSAR the lowest scores would be an old score of 29.Anyone got into Einstein with low mcat? just wondering...
And what's their lowest accepted GPA?By looking at the MSAR the lowest scores would be an old score of 29.
These are not exact values, just what the MSAR highlights as the highest to lowest range. Lowest GPA overall is 3.6 and science 3.5 if you follow this. I'm not sure if this accounts for some outlier 3.0 and 20 MCAT who cured cancer.And what's their lowest accepted GPA?
Anyone else not receive any information or instructions from financial aid? I went ahead and submitted the forms listed on their website (questionnaire, tax forms, FAFSA), but I had to initiate all the correspondence and their office has not been very helpful.
I emailed all my forms to their email and it took them a little more than a week to get back to me. They said not to do anything until they send me a package with further instructions.Anyone else not receive any information or instructions from financial aid?

Will acceptances come out earlier this week since they skipped last week, or will they wait until Friday, to keep with their recent pattern?
@gyngyn Any movement today?
Einstein.
I have also had a hard time communicating via email with admin (housing, basic sciences course, fin aid), but if you call, the folks at these offices are SUPER friendly & helpful! Maybe email just isn't their style...Anyone else not receive any information or instructions from financial aid?

Can you post the link to the waitlist thread? Also, wasn't Einstein closed last Wednesday and Thursday?The post below from gyngyn was from last Wednesday in the wait list thread.
Official, Pre-Allo NOT ACCEPTED YET 2017 applicant threadCan you post the link to the waitlist thread? Also, wasn't Einstein closed last Wednesday and Thursday?
I hope so!Will acceptances come out earlier this week since they skipped last week, or will they wait until Friday, to keep with their recent pattern?
Did you get your package yet? They told me that they are waiting for the class to be finalized before they send me my package.I emailed all my forms to their email and it took them a little more than a week to get back to me. They said not to do anything until they send me a package with further instructions.
yay so that means the class isn't finalized and they're still accepting people from the waitlist?Did you get your package yet? They told me that they are waiting for the class to be finalized before they send me my package.

That's what I'm referring to. Have you applied for PLUS loans already?When you guys said financial aid "package" you're referring to an email which would direct you to the portal displaying the financial aid you have been awarded yes?
I'm trying to make sure I understand because I got the email/portal message a while ago, but have not heard about about Grad PLUS loans from the govt.
My financial aid package came with another email that explained how to sign up for the Grad Plus loan. But if you call Ms. Cullen she was super helpful.When you guys said financial aid "package" you're referring to an email which would direct you to the portal displaying the financial aid you have been awarded yes?

Yes. Applying for Grad PLUS loans took about 90-120 seconds. I got the "your credit check passed" email from the govt. immediately, but it's been over a week and I've heard nothing else.That's what I'm referring to. Have you applied for PLUS loans already?
Well I was accepted mid-May maybe a bit earlier. My package only consists of government loans at this point, so when I asked for the possibility of institutional aid (grants, einstein loans) I was told that they were waiting for class finalization. Did you already get grants and einstein loans in your package?I've already got my package, but I did take the initiative to send over my documents. Were you accepted later on the waitlist?
I see, same here all fed loans. So no institutional aid until August? I do remember seeing an earlier post or two mentioning scholarships shortly after their acceptances. I'm going to call them tomorrow for more info.Well I was accepted mid-May maybe a bit earlier.

I know someone got in this past Wednesday. Do you think they'll give out today too? I don't know how many times in a week they send out acceptances, but I am hoping!!!To my fellow waitlisters: do you guys think acceptances will be given out tomorrow?

Yes, June 7th She is a really nice person, so I'm very happy for her. It does sadden me that another acceptance batch went out and I wasn't included. It's so hard to remain optimistic. But I'm gonna keep believing that I'll make it in!Oh shoot, I didn't realize. This past Wednesday as in June 7th?
My friend who is an MS1 said that there is a mentoring system that pairs first-years with older students! I think everyone gets a mentor automatically.Does Einstein have a buddy/mentor system for first-years?

So what do we think? They'll send out more acceptances today? Or do we have to wait until next Wednesday now?
solid use of the word predicatedMy hope was predicated on the assumption that no acceptances had been given out this week... Gosh this is hard haha. I think I'll put my hopes on next week then.
It looks like they have. Have you heard of more ppl getting accepted recently? Is there a chance that acceptances will be given today or only Wednesdays and Fridays?Apparently they have gotten to the regular waitlist. Fingers crossed!
chill. We are in the same boat..I don't know anything other than someone last week who isnt on sdn who got inIt looks like they have. Have you heard of more ppl getting accepted recently? Is there a chance that acceptances will be given today or only Wednesdays and Fridays?
Also, what're the chances that there are still spots available? I'm really trying to keep my hopes up!
Best of luck to us this wk!
She said emailing it is fine, but in PDF format. I'm going to send mine later today. You can email her and ask for a confirmation.Did you guys emailed the health forms to Tina Crane? I emailed her all the documents last Thursday but haven't got a response yet. Or should I mail it?
