Yo KatieJune, I think I'm a pretty good person to answer your question. I attended Brown for undergrad, and I'm headed to UM Med this August. Here's the dilly. You pretty much have no chance of getting into Brown Med unless you're a PLME student (8 year program: 4 yrs undergrad at Brown...

Hey future Einsteiners, Do any of you know if Einstein is accepted ANYONE off of the waitlist this year? I haven't heard of any movement on this website. I really need to know STAT because I'm starting med school on august 7th! -marmot-

Congrats on getting off the Pitt waitlist ...now you face a tough decision! I am still on the Pitt wait list and I was wondering how you were accepted: phone call, email, snail mail, etc. Thanks, marmot

Hey Y'all, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Einstein or the Pitt waitlist is currently moving. Thanks, marmot

Hi, I am going to UM next year. The two most popular areas for med students are Miami Beach and Brickell, so yes, many students commute from MB to UM. Make sure that you like the area that the apartment is in, because not all of MB is so hot. Personally, I'm looking to get an apartment on...

Hi to everyone currently on the Einstein waitlist. I was wondering if anyone knows if there has been ANY movement on this list recently. Thanks, Marmot

Hey Dr. Kermit: Not that I want you to bother the admissions office ( :) ), but if you can find out if/when they're going to let in more people off the waitlist, I would be in your debt. -Marmot-

Hey y'all, I was wondering if anyone on the Einstein waitlist has heard anything lately. I was put on the waitlist early this month; the letter said that the waitlist would essentially be cut in half some time in the near future. Anyone know if this has been done already? Thanks! Marmot

This may be a little off the subject, but I have a question for you military types, especially "Caffinated" who is working at Walter Reed. I am going to med school next year, and I have applied to both the Army and Navy's scholarship programs that pay for med school in return for 4 yrs of...

Hi All, I was recently put on the Einstein waitlist. Here's what I know. Einstein is going to cut their waitlist basically in half very soon (probably within weeks), and they tend to pull a lot of people from this shortened list. I don't know when they make the gigantic cut, but maybe some...

Hey, I have two questions. (1) Does UM have a White Coat ceremony. (2) Does anyone know about housing in the Brickell or Miami Beach areas? I'm looking to get a studio in one of these areas, and I was wondering if anyone knew of some nice buildings to check out. Peace, Marmot
