Don't waste your time or theirs.I have been fortunate enough to interview at Albert Einstein. However, they have a very low post interview acceptance rate(around 27%, which I believe includes eventual acceptances off the waitlist). So, while I think I had a very good interview, the most likely statistical outcome is a waitlist.
This is the best school out of the ones I have interviewed with, and it's getting late to get any interviews at a better school.
They release decisions on February 1st. Thus, my question is whether it is better to send a letter of intent now, prior to the initial decision in hopes of getting an acceptance, or if I should send it after I am most likely waitlisted? Or does it not really matter?
I interviewed in early october so it's also entirely possible they've made their decision already.
It is my understanding that a letter of intent is “binding” not in the literal sense, but more so that if you send a letter of intent to a school and then matriculate elsewhere, can’t you get in trouble?Don't waste your time or theirs.
How would you interpret a nonbinding contract from a desperate applicant?
Nope, and you thought wrong.It is my understanding that a letter of intent is “binding” not in the literal sense, but more so that if you send a letter of intent to a school and then matriculate elsewhere, can’t you get in trouble?
I thought it was for that reason that letters of intent hold at least some weight for enrollment management purposes?
Maybe I’ll just see what happens in February
