Thanks.. I can't help but feel nervous when some have already gotten acceptances.. But I shall play the waiting game a little longer..

I understand. Last year I got my invitation in February, interviewed in March, and was waitlisted until the end of the summer when I finally got a rejection letter. So I understand the waiting game. I'm trying to stay calm this cycle! Good luck!
Thanks and same to you.. Hopefully soon we can both celebrate our acceptances.. 😀
Finally an answer to what's going on with the hospital, and it's a very good one.

Sorry my first response to this wasn't too helpful, but this is the first real news we've had. There were about a dozen town hall meetings with various people, and we were reassured that our rotations wouldn't be affected - the administration has been very open and supportive of the students. It's just that, while they often spoke of 'partnerships', none existed and there was concern that the new hospital would be sold to Ochsner or something.

Is anyone receiving an email from admission office asking for update Fall 2012 grade and transcript?
Sent in a combined update and LOI today 
(premature announcement, sorry!)

I didn't get an acknowledgment. Lol. Where did you send it to? Address it to?
I'm in DC at the moment on my iPhone and don't have access to my archived emails with the lady's address, but I sent it both to the main admission office's address and what I think was the admission's secretary's address. I'll post them when I get back Saturday afternoon. Enjoy your Friday!

Hey guys, I'm desperate for an interview here and have already sent two updates. Does anyone have any advice for OOS applicants? Is there anything that LSU is particularly fond of in its OOS applicants? Also, when does LSU stop interviewing? Thanks in advance and good luck to all.
Ditto!!
I would love to be able to move back home for med school! I sent an update as well. I have lower stats tho.
I'm not sure about what they look for in OOS applicants, but they interview into April. Last year I interviewed in mid-March and was wait-listed until the end of the summer. Hoping for an acceptance this year!
Thanks. Are you also an OOS applicant? Would you mind sharing/PMing your stats? No worries if you're too bashful.
Has anyone been rejected pre-interview yet?
Just called the office and left a message attempting to check the status of my application. Hopefully this call will show more dedication and interest... I hope!
My stats aren't great. 3.6 28. I'm in state. I don't think they do too many early rejections. Calling them will also do very little good. They're just going to tell you that you're still under review.
Thanks. Yeah, out of calls to 6 schools, I only received useful info from 2. 🙁

hi all! i'm new here -- waiting on any word from lsu new orleans too and going absolutely crazy. i've received oddly 3 "file complete" emails but that's it. has anyone else been hearing about stats for current interviews going on?
Nothing. It's so darn quiet. I even called to try to get a status update: nada. I'm so eager to hear something. I'd also really like to attend their EM/IM dual residency, which would make attending here even better. 🙁

Good to know, thank you. Hopefully some of us will be hearing about new interview invites. Does anyone know how late into the season they interview and/or the average stats of OOS students that receive interviews? Thanks...
Well I applied last year and was invited to interview at the end of March, and interviewed in the middle of April. I am pretty sure it was one of the last weeks of interviews.
Thanks, that helps. Are you OOS, too?
No I am in state, but my MCAT was seriously low! However, I took it again this summer and went up 7 points and just had my interview on Jan 15th. So, I should hear something next week! Hang in there and keep your head up. In the orientation with Dr. Eubanks, he said they haven't even come close to filling all their spots and that most people get in around the Middle of March or the middle of April.
Awesome news, thanks! Good luck!
Interviews go up to April 10th at the moment.
Beautiful, thanks.
This. They don't do early rejections at all. My first app was botched in all kinds of ways, no interview, rejected in April.
Hey in case anyone is waiting on a letter, like I am, I called the office of admissions and they said they just mailed out the letters yesterday, January 30th, from their meeting on the 25th. I was getting nervous when I didn't get anything in the mail the last couple of days. Good luck to everyone! 😀
Still anxiously awaiting word on whether or not they'll interview me. 🙁 Good luck on the decisions ladies and gents!
Thank you! I've been waiting anxiously by the mail, and it's getting old!

Waiting on a letter today, mail passed and there was nothing. I went to the post office and they said mail was running at least a day behind in our area.
Everyone that's interviewed gets either an acceptance or an NFA this week, right?

Thanks a bunch! Acceptance by mail is one of the most torturous things ever.
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone!
No letter today, either. Guess the PO in New Orleans is backed up from the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras.
Oh well, we should get our letters next week. If one of you gets something, let's hear it!
