Has anyone got any acceptances after the committee met last Friday?
 
Are they still meeting once every three weeks? And did they in fact meet last week? I have lost count of the Fridays but I was thinking that the next committee meeting was tomorrow.
 
Did they tell you they plan to continue meeting every third Friday? It just surprises me that they don't meet more since they claim they save the bulk of their decision making for the spring.
 
I hope they meet more often too! Does anyone know about how many people have applied this year?
 
I tried looking for one a few weeks ago and never saw one. LSU-Shreve had theirs but I can't find New Orleans.
 
Yup. I've already declined Shreveport.

EDIT:
To add on to earlier, I think about half the people who match generally stay in LA.
 
Oh, did anyone else see where they are moving some of the rotations to OLOL since Earl K Long is supposed to be shutting down?

I wonder why they chose OLOL as opposed General or Oschner, since OLOL is private and all. I've really haven't read much about it though.

Hmm, OLOL is nice! I think Tulane is working with the General so that might be a reason. My mom would love it, since OLOL is right next to where she works.

But Earl K's shutting down? About time. That place is a mess.

Looks like someone needs to change their avatar now.

I got an acceptance letter last week - yay! Does anyone know if they are having everyone buy Dells again? And are the computers super heavy, or nice and portable? I already have a Dell laptop that is a powerful beast, but it weighs a bajillion pounds.
 
I asked my tour guides about the laptops and it seemed like it was something the school planned on continuing. Apparently LSU gets a deal on high end Dell laptops... The student I talked to seemed to like them so I would imagine they are reasonably portable. Also, he told me the laptops come with a full warranty and the school possesses back ups in case yours is broken and you need a short term replacement. I'm definitely ready for my new laptop! =)
 
As am I. My lappy is on its last leg. My CD drive is kaput and there are times where it won't start up for a long period of time. I also have missing keys and general wear and tear.

I'm just hoping it doesn't die midway through this last semester.
 
.Will anyone be looking for a place to live? I have a ridiculously nice apartment. It is a 3 br, 2 bath apartment and the rent is $500/month/person. It's the entire 2nd floor of a house next to St. Charles. Unfortunately my roommate of 3 years will be graduating from law school in May and moving to Miami. I will need to find a new roommate in May. I've lived in the same place for 5 years, so my rent is super cheap for the area and size of the place. Also, I've refinished the wood floors and built some of the furniture by hand. Because it's so nice, however, I want to find a roommate who is super clean, respectful, and doesn't trash my stuff. I've had to clean up after roommates plenty in the past and don't feel like doing that anymore. So basically, since we're all female, we'll be looking for a female who is easy going, responsible, respectful to others and just a considerate person in general. If you're looking for a friendly, quiet, beautiful spacious apartment with great rent, and you think you'd fit in, send me a personal message 🙂..
 
Does anyone know how many first years participate in Camp Tiger? I graduate the day before so would have a hard time getting back. Just trying to decide if it's worth killing myself to get home in time.

I'm not sure, but LSU's graduation is during the camp. So everyone graduating probably wouldn't be able to do it, unless, of course, they would let us work M-Th and not come on F.

I think my issue is that I might not be sure of my school choice by the time the deadline passes for the documentation.
 
I think you can miss a day of camp. There are enough people to cover your spot. Last year we had about 75-80 incoming L1s at Camp Tiger. I think that was the most ever. It is a lot of fun, and you get to meet a lot people in your class as well as the class ahead of you. There are usually activities (i.e. drinking) every night of Camp Tiger.
 
You can still attend Camp Tiger. I e-mailed the med student heading it up a few days ago. He said that they are going to 3pm on Thursday and 12pm on Friday. He said we could choose to leave after either one, but just to make a note in the packet form you have to fill out. I plan on heading out after Thursday so I can have Friday for family and just chilling.

Of course, I do need to fill the sheet out sometime soon.
 
Anyone interviewing March 1st? I am really looking forward to my interview because this is where I want to be! I know it is pretty late in the game, so I need to take advantage of this opportunity! I've read the interview reviews on SDN, but I was still wondering if anyone had any questions that they found to be surprising or unique?

No really surprising questions here. I actually enjoyed the actual interviews here more than any other place. You get 3 and one is closed file, which can help you guide the conversation more. None of them really last the whole time. It's very relaxed.

I did get asked if I would be nervous about living in New Orleans. :laugh:

:luck: Good luck.
 
Anyone else here for MD/PhD ? If so, have they already been doing interviews for it? I've already had my MD interview, but I've just received the email about the March 12 MD/PhD interview day
 
I'm interviewing March 17th. I know it's also late in the game but I still have a good shot right?

I'm late march. Let me know how your interview goes🙂


For those of you that are OOS/not from New Orleans, what's the best way to get from the airport to the university? And what hotels are near the school?

Can anyone answer this? Help please?
 
I'm not from the area, so I really don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

If it were me, I would just get on I-10 E leaving the airport and just follow the directions that school gave you. Otherwise, I suppose you could take Airline Hwy to the general area of the school, but I have no clue what traffic is like on Airline in New Orleans.

As far as hotels, I thought about staying at the Clarion hotel on Canal, which will run you around $60 or so and is the nearest legit hotel I saw.

There's a big orthopedic surgeon convention next week, so hopefully that's not when your interview is, because you'll likely not be able to get a hotel that's close to the school.

EDIT: I see now that you are late march, so you should be good to go.
 
hey guys,

i got an interview invite the other day. My interview will be on March 16. I'm pretty excited, this is my hometown and would love to go to school here!!! I thought they forgot about me so it was def a surprise to get an invite! Anyone have any idea how full the class is, i know its kind of late, so do you think we have a shot this late in the game?

Seeing the activity on the thread now and looking at last year's thread, I would definitely say you have a shot. Seems that LSU likes to defer a lot of people into April or so. IIRC, some people on last year's thread were accepted around April.
 
I'm glad we Marchies have a shot!! I thought they forgot about me too. And they're expanding the class to 200 now so that may help us out!!!
 
Got a waitlist letter today. Not discouraged yet, hopefully I get better news sooner rather than later.
 
At least u got something back. U may get a spot in May. Don't give up.
 
anyone else interview this coming tuesday? for those have interviewed, how are the interviews and can you guys give any advice? i heard that there are three one on one interviews, right? And how long do we wait after our interview to hear a decision? Any updates on how many spots left?

Yes, the interviews are 3 one-on-one that are supposed to last 45 minutes each, though almost none do. One of them is a blind interview where the interviewer only knows your name and has not seen your file. I found all of the interviewers to be really cool and non-confrontational.

I don't have the answers to any of your other questions, though, sorry.
