Einstein runs a mission-aligned, competency-based admissions process and names the four competencies it evaluates: co-curricular activities and relevant experiences, communication skills, personal and professional development, and knowledge. The school pairs a major biomedical research enterprise with a foundational mission of serving communities in need, and its Bronx setting through Montefiore means underserved urban clinical work is the daily reality rather than an elective interest. Final decisions rest on academic credentials, experiences, interview performance and fit with the mission.

Watch out: Competency-based review means a strong record in only one dimension does not carry a file. A research-only profile with no engagement with underserved communities under-reads against a school whose mission names them explicitly.
