Thanks for the heads up! So just to clarify, this letter distinctly said you were on an actual wait list, correct? Not the "no further action" letter that some people refer to as being on a "wait list".
LOL
So after checking my mailbox every hour for a week, I get a call from one of my LOR writers. Turns out they sent it to him?!
Going to pick it up now...
Did you just finish the pharmacology program this year?
No, I finished it in 2009. The year before mine, almost everyone from the program got accepted to Tulane. Starting with my year, only a few were accepted. There were a lot of angry people from my program. We were all very much sold a false bill of goods. I'm actually surprised people are still doing those programs. I guess we didn't spread the word around well enough.
I'm very happy that I'll be starting at LSU-NO in August as Tulane left a very bitter taste in my mouth. It's a shame because that's where I went to undergrad, too. I always enjoy depositing the alumni letters they send me asking for money directly into the trash!
Hey guys, I just received the rejection letter from new orleans about an hr. ago. Congrats to those who got in and good luck to the ones still waiting.
Another rejection over here. Congrats to those accepted...how I wish I was in your shoes! GOOD LUCK to everyone reapplying and to those still on the waitlist!
You are not fit to join the rejected club

Interesting. A number of us this year got in and we all LOVED the program. I got in to LSU, but withdrew because I truly love Tulane (Pass/Fail, Tegrity - which LSU doesn't even do audio recordings, blocks vs whatever that system is that LSU uses). The cost difference didn't matter as I'm not having to pay for med school.
Both are wonderful schools though; I just truly love Tulane and everyone that's there just seems to love it and have a great time. We have a few out of the class that got into LSU (both locations) and I know they're extremely happy. I think the pharm program is going a great job at exposing us to medical school curriculum and increase our chances of getting in, whether at Tulane or elsewhere.
Sounds like your class didn't experience that though. That's a shame.
Best of luck to the LSU NFA people.
Just released my seat back into the wild. Hardest decision of my life, but it looks like I'll be in Shreveport in the Fall. I hope one of you sdner's on the alternate list get it! Good Luck!
Why'd you pick Shreveport? I'm not too eager to go back to that corner of the state after going to high school in Natchitoches, but there is something to be said for the camaraderie that develops in the middle of nowhere. Just wondering if this was your thinking, or the systems-based thing, or something else.
Hi there. Even though this is my first post, I'm a long time lurker of SDN and was placed on the waitlist. I was just wondering if the waitlist is moving. Have they started filling the spots yet? Obviously, I haven't heard anything since I received my waitlist letter and neither have several of my friends who are also on the waitlist. Has anyone here been accepted off the waitlist yet? If so, when did you receive your letter? Thanks for the help.

Im on the waitlist to. I heard around 10 are on it. Does anyone know who made the waitlist? was it the entire comittee or just eubanks and mccluggage?

Re-applicant here. Got the call Monday that I was accepted off of the waitlist and that my letter would go out Tuesday. I received my acceptance letter Wednesday. I'm about a 2.5 hour drive from New Orleans if that helps. The waitlist is definitely moving and I wish everyone the best of luck! Whether you're still waiting or figuring out your back up plan to re-apply, don't give up.
