Should we send a letter of interest/intent post interview but pre-decision?

You can, but unclear whether that holds any weight.

I'm sorry for being too lazy to scroll back and read everything, but does anyone know in general how long it takes for Einstein to get back with a decision post II? I have a interview late late March

Einstein, please love me. I love research. I love NY. Even have an I love NY shirt. Please.

No. What you have to do is go into their office, ask for the Dean of Admissions, take a selfie with him/her, and upload THAT into the portal.

Lol still waiting for post-II decision. Not sure what to do more at this point. Already sent letter of interest. Anyone know when more decisions will be released or was Feb 1 the only day for acceptances?

Just got a very confusingly written email that I have been put on the waitlist... it seemed like an acceptance for 2/3s of the email and seems to carefully avoid the word "waitlist" but then directs to site where I can choose to accept or decline my place..... on the waitlist.

Which then directs to a page after selecting yes that say "we invite you to join us here at Einstein!" Then I realize that's just the general admissions page accessible for anyone. So.... no they don't "invite" me to join.

Definitely kind of a confusing situation for something that is ultimately kind of disappointing....

I got this as well, and it also asked me to respond directly to the email by 3/14. Based off last years thread, this seems to be high priority WL. Don't want to get my hopes up but definitely seems promising! (assuming they are following the same process as last year)

Got the same exact email. Sounded so nice and sweet but basically waitlist. But to be honest, this school does reject post-II, so they probably want to ensure that they are among their top choices still

OK that's pretty great to hear, hopefully it will lead to good things. Definitely interested in attending if I get the chance!

Yes, for sure. Seems like last year people started getting pulled of HPWL as early as April 4th so I think as long as we keep expressing interest hope is still alive!
 
I also got this email! I had a friend at Einstein explain to me that it literally is rolling admissions-- they want to accept you, but they can't overfill the class at any point, so they have to wait until someone holding an accept drops to let others in. There seems to be a lot of movement from it in the spring.

Also got that waitlist email! I was so excited at first that I called my parents before reading the whole thing and had to call them back. Very misleading, but hopefully it will turn into something good!

Quick question for anyone who knows the details: What are the implications of Montefiore taking over Albert Einstein College of Medicine from Yeshiva? Besides Montefiore gaining degree-granting abilities, are there larger implications from this transition that have an impact on the education at the medical school?

During the interview I attended they acted like it wouldn't matter. But they also probably wouldn't want to bring to light any negatives about the transition so who knows lol

Current student. Basically has 0 implications on day-to-day functioning of the school, except that we all got new email addresses and had to resubmit FAFSA with a new school code. We've been partnered closely with Montefiore for a long time so that's nothing new. It's basically just a name thing and a money thing - Yeshiva wasn't making money off Einstein and Montefiore wants to be seen as more of an academic powerhouse. So they handed off the official responsibility for the school. Nothing relating to medical education is gonna change. Just the name Yeshiva will no longer be on our degrees, and Montefiore will.

Any of my 1/22 or later peeps here about this HPWL?

Oh hey there. Got a II at ~11pm today too! I also can't log in so I emailed them and came here.
I'm so happy but so scared because I feel like this isn't real.

UPDATE: The portal has been fixed!

Does anyone know the poste-interview acceptance rate?
 
Do you guys know if they are still sending out II invites? or maybe yesterday was the last day?

I found this, so I think they are done...
The Admissions Office sends interview invitations on average once a month beginning in August and ending in March. Scheduling of interviews is done via an auto-scheduler and applicants may choose their preferred date depending on availability. Preliminary rejection emails are sent beginning in March

Hi everyone, interviewing here in March and was curious how long they usually take to get back to people post-interview, knowing that the April deadlines are fast approaching.

Thanks in advance!

Hard to tell, since people who interviewed from the very beginning through november/early december all heard back Feb 1, while everyone else has either heard nothing or put on a waitlist.

Nah a lot of us who interviewed in November heard back just a couple days ago. Majority seemed to be HPWL too

Ah, my mistake. I'm just a lowly January interviewer. Thanks for clarifying!
