Tulane wants a max of 3 letters of rec right? I think I accidentally sent in 5, do you guys know what they'll do?

 

[zinthafan]

Call and ask.

Does anyone know what they're looking for in terms of international volunteering? I've done research abroad, but only have one true volunteer experience internationally. It's included in my AMCAS app, and I'm not sure what I can say that isn't completely redundant of my description there.

If you're in a similar situation, how did you address this?

You're good! MSAR states they will take a maximum of 5 letters.

Awesome thanks haha, I think I read somewhere online that they wanted a max of three. I guess if the MSAR says 5 I'll just go with that 🙂

Yeah, it's frustrating to figure out every single schools' preferences when they make it sound like they only want a specific number. Best of luck in this cycle!

OMG the secondary was in my spam folder. I received it on July 1st :'(

Do you think it's worth telling the admissions committee..?

Nope, just submit ASAP! It's a pretty easy secondary! Checking spam folders is almost common knowledge. 3 weeks isn't too bad.

 

[ScentOfPeace]

I'd love to go here.

 

[Osteoth]

I'd love to go here.

Me too! It feels like so long without any word from Tulane...SS first day in June.

 

[Mayday_]

Is the secondary down for anyone else right now?

 

[CharlieKelly]

yup

You are amazing! I have been checking my spam, but somehow I missed this! This was the only secondary so far that has gone to spam. If I didn't see your post, I probably would not have checked my spam folder that far back! So thank you!! =) Annoying that we'll be submitting back so late....

I have been checking my spam and can't find it. I searched my folder for "Tulane" just to double check. Can somebody tell me the subject line of the secondary invite so I can search again? I was verified 6/5.

Tulane University School of Medicine: Tulane Secondary Invite

Thank you. I guess my Tulane search would have covered it. I'll try calling them. Thanks!

No problem! It's unfortunate that we are submitting so late.... I called them and they said not to worry about it, and that it won't affect our applications in any way. They discouraged updating them/calling again about it, so I'm sure its not that big of a deal.

 

[renaissanceman]

anyone aware when they start sending out II?

on the application status page, my application file is marked as complete, but i never received an "application complete" email

 

[BMC11]

on the application status page, my application file is marked as complete, but i never received an "application complete" email

same here. Their original e-mail stated that we would receive an e-mail when our files are considered complete and are under review. I submitted 7/4 so I'm a little weirded out that I have not received a complete e-mail.

Has anyone on here gotten a complete email yet?

I submitted 7/21 and received complete email 7/25 saying "We would like to inform you that your application is complete and under review. You will receive another email once a decision is made on your application..."

I guess it has been a while since you've submitted, so perhaps it might be worth calling/emailing to check in? However, I'm not sure how responsive they are.

TX resident, 3.8 gpa, 32 mcat, good ECs....what are my chances?

there is a "what are my chances" forum

 

[tuftofwool]

Just received my "complete" email! Weird because everything was received 7/21, but I just got that email today, so I guess it does take awhile for them to process it.

Thanks for the response! I bit the bullet and sent them an e-mail. If they never respond, well I guess that's life.

Call them. When I explained the problem, and that I was so sorry for bothering them, the admissions office person told me my lack of file completion was an accident and she would push it through. Got a complete email two hours later.

Their process is a bit bizarre, considering I recieved two complete emails, four days apart with identical wording in the body. Oh well, super complete I guess!

Haha! Better to be super complete than not complete at all...
