Wait what? I think only 1 person complete 7/11 has been rejected so far...
look at page 3
Yar. Theres been a cleanse of the early ones. At least they told me straight away which puts that school away.
Ooh my bad. I didn't realize so many people had posted today so I didn't even look at page 3! Sorry to everyone who got rejections, and hopefully for the rest of us no news = good news
No much for me to post as I am applying next cycle. Just watching how other schools behave and it seems Tulane is a bit uncomfortable with higher numbers. I guess Tulane expects people that are very serious about going there with high numbers would have applied EDP. I am willing to bet those with GPA close to 3.6 and an MCAT around 32 and those currently attending an SMP or those that have finished will do well but later in the season. Good luck everybody and don't mind my lurking.

Complete 7/11, rejected this morning. Nice to know now rather than get jerked around for 6 months like SOME schools.
I agree with this post. After looking through the stats of ppl who got rejected today, it seems like Tulane is rejecting the high stats ppl beforehand. They're probably thinking "you probably won't enroll in our school anyways because you'll get in somewhere else so why bother?" For those rejected today, you guys have monster numbers so don't fret, you'll definitely get invited to other places 🙂
No response yet. Complete 7/15, hoping for some love from my undergraduate institution! I would love to go back to NOLA!
I would love to go back to NOLA!Wow, today is a brutal day for 7/11ers. Glad I didn't submit til 7/12! (No file-complete e-mail yet.) Fingers crossed that good things come to those who wait.
So, with all these rejections, has anyone been blessed with an interview invite yet?

dont like 10,000 apply?
which is exactly why they have to cut app numbers down.
Exactly. They have less than 100 slots. Doesn't surprise me that they cut. just didnt think they would cut all these big numbers
10k apply
400 interview
??? acceptances
187 matriculants
essentially cut down 9600 applicants (maybe reserve a hundred or so for those who withdraw their invites)
ha yea. Had no chance then. Glad public schools are more like 3000 apply, 800 interview

They probably have a lot of high numbers applicants. They know that these people won't go to Tulane, and would rather hit up a top 20.

ya man, if i were an adcom, i'd accept you in a jiffy 😀
Granted... my MCAT is high, but my GPA is on the low side.
So I might get the axe based on my MCAT being high.

I figured that much. I know some public schools will do that too. Oh well, should have made my secondary be like "will kill for tulane, erm ..."
i'm like right on the money stats wise....
but CB, you're a very good candidate for any med school imo

Hahaha that would have gotten the ball rolling.
Thanks kautionwirez! Even though I don't think so! Someone will take me hopefully!!
Tulane, I love you deeply.
this might be a ridiculous notion...but do some schools reject people if they're stats are TOO good?
if that's the case, medicine has a bleak future...

seems to be so, yeah. if a school figures you're gonna end up somewhere else since you have a 40 MCAT, 4.0 GPA, and saved the rainforest while battling dengue, why put on the waitlist, stress out and deprive the 30 MCAT and 3.5 GPA student of the faster acceptance?
Tulane should want those people with the stellar stats, especially the ones doing crazy amounts of community service. Tulane is like, tops for community service. Besides, all schools want to graduate their whole class, and for the class as a whole to do well on USMLE, grades and MCAT are a good indicator of how well you'll do on those. Rejecting the cream of the crop would go against what they're trying to gain.
Tulane has a pretty tight MCAT range. 10th-90th is 30-35; most schools' range is broader. Maybe they're catering to 33s instead of some 29s and some 40s. With 10,000 applicants, it's not hard to find 100 people with that MCAT range and plenty of community service. With a GPA range of 3.2-3.85, that doesn't seem to be a deciding factor.
I hope this isn't the case because my MCAT is outside that range, but...
I sure hope so!
The Blue Jays suck, but in the eyes of Tulane, you're a guaranteed acceptance.
Lol not to be a sore thumb in this debate but I was a 33 MCAT and I got the rejection too... O well everyone's different lolz
I'm pretty sure they do accept a few 4.0/40 students but those people would probably choose the JHUs and Harvards out there instead of Tulane. They probably have seen higher eventual matriculation rates with a certain type of more moderate-stats applicant.

I hope you're right, you're making it sound like I'm a perfect candidate because I'm right in those ranges with a pretty good MCAT and mediocre GPA! And for your sake, I hope your MCAT is outside the range on the upper end.
Got my file-complete e-mail today. Here we go!
I was in the range as well. I had like 300 hours of service too over the 3 years in college. oh well.no use crying over spilled milk
