I can vouch for the MPH / International Health program at Tulane. When I was there, for the MPH, I sat next to a guy who was going to be the Minister of Health for Bangla Desh. We had students from Africa, and a guy on a Shah's scholarship from Iran (he loved the Shah, and was always showing maps of his country, etc.). Not sure if they still have it, but our Parasitology lab used samples from their primate lab...we even had a class JUST on Schistosomiasis.

If you plan to work overseas, Tulane will be a great choice.
 
I've been reading about the speculation that if you get a "complete" email then you did not receive an interview in the first round.

Well, I have NOT receive a complete email yet. But I called Tulane Friday and they told me that my application was complete, and it was about to go to the admissions committee for review. Then I asked the lady how long that would take, and she said 2-3 weeks. So I guess we'll see.

I called the admissions office to see if they could tell me about the program.......they said all pertinent information is online. I'm still not seeing the big picture of what Tulane specializes in and why there school stands out. I know it is a great school and I want to put in my secondary there, I just need to have reasons on my secondary and know why.

If anyone can tell me about Tulane, I would greatly appreciate some insight.
Thanks!


i second this.... i was looking for a while on their site and i really couldnt get a feel for the school except that they're committed to helping out new orleans since katrina (so i guess they are very community oriented)... but that cant be all there is to tulane... do they have a mission? does anyone know more?

Are you assuming the time you were complete when you submitted or did you get a complete email? I submitted 8/9 and am anticipating a rejection pretty soon

i submitted everything to them in early july. didn't get the official complete email until august.
 
so sorry to hear all these rejections. did everyone who got rejected receive a complete email before?
 
Hey...I was just a little confused because when I go onto my secondary application all it says is thank you for registering. However, I have gotten a complete email on 8/17. Is this what is supposed to be there...and they just update you by e-mail? Or should I call and see what the problem is with the status? Thanks in advance!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Tulane doesn't have a status page. You have to wait to hear via email. When I talked to an adcom lady on the phone a few weeks ago, she said they pretty much make a decision on your application after reading it (i.e. interview invite or rejection) and email you right away, rather than dragging you along for several months. Based on the posts from several people on this thread, I'd have to say she was right. However, there are a few exceptions of people who have been complete longer and haven't heard anything (good or bad).
 
Complete 8/9 and nothing. Dunnno about the whole rejection only after being complete thing. ( Hoping it's not true :luck:)

I was complete 8/13 so I expected a rejection today but still no word? Hmmm, maybe they just forgot to reject me :laugh:
 
I was complete over a month ago and still no word. I am OOS but still, the process seems fairly random considering the variety of those being given interviews or rejections.

Sigh.
 
hmm got rejected a couple of days ago. not sure why. 3.8/39T and felt had sincerely expressed interest in tulane on secondary. EC/LOR strong. oh well. good luck to others!
 
Rejection letter today.... Received complete email on 8/16... oh well, i should get used to these because I can sense many more coming 🙁

Did anyone else receive a rejection followed by an email saying that they were complete and to ignore the rejection email? What a great way to start a Monday...
 
Interview invite for October 8th as well!!! 😀
31, 3.7, OOS.

I did receive a complete email, but it was in response to an email I sent them asking my application status.
