I thought tulane is more "mission driven"
Agreed, you need either a reason to attend or demonstrate a good fit. My LizzyM score was 80 back in the day, and I am convinced I got a Tulane interview because of my AmeriCorps service and not my academics.
You aren't going to be automatically accepted or rejected based on high undergraduate scores.

What does jj mean?
The next letter in the alphabet, I presume.
See? Without context, stats, or complete date it's kind of just two letters, right?
You're a meanie
Nah, just giving you a hard time since you're the one with the II. Congrats, btw.
Lol! Cheer up, yours will come soon eno
lol! Thanks yours will come soon! ( submitted 7/27, LizzyM 66)
Congrats! What dates were available to you?
I got the interview first week if august, and then, the earliest date was October
October? No way 🙁 I got the end of January as the earliest date I could interview. I mean I'm grateful for the interview in the first place but waiting until basically February for it is a downer, as this is really one of my top choices.
My interview is in october too.
Are the september interview slots for the early decision people?

Actually, never-mind the interview dates make sense and I should go sleep haha. Seems like beginning of of August was October, Mid was November-December, and late was Jan/Feb. interview dates. For some reason I remember the II's being more spread out than just over the course of a month... this application cycle is wearing me down !! Some M1's here that I know got II's in October and interviewed in November though, so I think they should have some slots reserved for later applications!
some people also do withdraw their interviews after getting acceptances elsewhere. That's a possibility.
Not exclusively. There are regular decision applicants interviewing the same days as early decision applicants in September.
Time to play a new game: who holds the record for longest time spent in Tulane purgatory?
I'll go first! I submitted 7/10 and still have not heard back. Like, actually! What is the hold up? lol

I submitted 7/7, the first day the secondary was available.
Not far behind you! Complete on 7/15 and my check mark turned green around 7/29, dunno what it means but I thought it meant progress...guess not [emoji23] I suppose since there's no rejection yet we should be happy??
@wagonwheel23 you ended that game real quick lol
I'm basically Kristin Wiig's one upper character on SNL
Okay so I just read on last year's thread that someone was complete and under review on 8/1 and did not receive an II until 10/25. Ended up getting accepted.
Time to chill.
Edit: also interview dates were filled through end of January during this time last year as well. There were still spots for interviews open later in the cycle, obvi 😉

That is encouraging.
I thought my application was complete when i had turned everything in on the 22nd, but they didn't confirm I was complete until 8.10. Not quite sure why it was such a long process for me while others were complete the moment they submitted their payment. I wouldn't mind dealing with what appears to be a non linear timeline if schools weren't using a rolling admissions process. They make us obsessed with getting things in as quickly as possible and then they proceed through the applications in a seemingly random process.
How about they get rid of rolling admissions and then our neurosis drops a bit and we stop calling them trying to figure out when the hell is going on all the time. Seems like a win-win.

There's a Sept 21st, too.
July 14
Sorry to hear! When were you complete?
Mine is the 25th of September & there was an option for the 18th as well
@Caffein3 amazing characters still available: Kevin G (uuuuuhhhh Kevin Geeeee), Damien, Aaron, Janice, etc.
It's just funny in other topics being able to tell who applied to Tulane because they have a Mean Girls avatar
It's our signature move.

Kev G my hero and role model

Well it was between him and Kevin G (because I'm a gangster math nerd, duh) but I like the drama that coach Carr caused more
You can try to "cancel your interview" and check again if early dates are available? Lol
To all of the new Mean Girls ladiez and boiz...
Omg @Caffein3 your status/location hahaha
oh gosh that sounds risky!
i mean, it's not unlikely - there were MANY rounds of interviews given before mine, so i can understand things filling up. i distinclty remember clicking through the months and not seeing anything available to select until Dec...
but now i'm getting paranoid that i just clicked haphazardly! @monkeygirl92 when did you receive your II? did you see these sept dates recently or a few weeks ago?
