Has anyone between 7-13 and 7-18 gotten an II?

+1

I submitted my secondary on 7/6, with LORs received, and still have a red X on "In Progress".

I just called the admissions office (submitted 7/10). They were incredibly nice. They told me that the timeline can vary from person to person depending on the reviewers and stuff, but we should expect to be in progress soon, and as long as the rest of the check marks are green, everything is alright. Maybe whoever is in charge of reading our applications is on vacation! I feel like most schools give a timeline of 4-6 weeks, so once it passes that point, I'll be on the verge of pulling my hair out, lol.

I haven't like I said before I just got the green check mark so hopefully that means something

[KKT1992]

argh submitted July 10th and STILL a red exclamation point! My reviewer needs to pick up the pace!

Ya I have a red exclamation mark too, what does it mean?

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Ya I have a red exclamation mark too, what does it mean?

It means that they haven't started to evaluate our applications yet.

 

[Master3930]

It means that they haven't started to evaluate our applications yet.

so wait if i got the green check and didnt get an interview today that means im done?

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

so wait if i got the green check and didnt get an interview today that means im done?

No, I think it just means that they didn't decide to give you an interview yet. According to their website, they send invites after each committee meeting, which is why people get a rush of invites all at once. Also, green check means that it's *started* review, it doesn't mean that it's finished yet. So from my understanding, you could still be invited for interview if your application hasn't gone to committee yet, if it isn't done being reviewed yet, or if they decide to hold it and re-review it later. I could be totally wrong though. This is just a guess.

No you're not done. Stay optimistic. This process is so unpredictable, it all depends on who has your file... I would not be worried at this point. A friend of mine got an II on October for a January interview and got in in March. For those of you who asked about the interview dates, the earliest (when I scheduled two days ago) is October.

I'm assuming you will be notified either way whether you will be granted an interview or not! Keep the faith!! 🙂 Best of luck

 

[misterwives]

Does anyone know what the earliest interview date is?

Right now, the earliest dates being offered are mid-October.

 

[slatewater]

I was complete on 7/9 according to the portal but never got a complete email. Anyone else? Anxiously waiting for a II here

+1 been completely green since 07/08 and haven't heard anything

Last night I couldn't sleep well , I was dreaming that I was going to an interview in Chicago- somewhere, then me my mom and my GF were being chased by homeless people and a woman that looked like a zombie; she looked like she was straight of the walking dead; then I was in an interview in a small city somewhere in the midwest that had a lake of coke-cola and the dean of the school was asking me for some "calming pills" and I had to refer to him doctor specialist. To top off I was in California interviewing somewhere in the beach and I went to an area that I was not permitted and got my interview revoked. So I woke up this morning and first thing went to check my email and I had II from Tulane.
Moral of the story, if you are loosing it, you are not alone, there is hope. 😵

Edit: No drugs involved

 

[Chasing Never Land]

Guys I really think the red vs green is up to a computer. Mine changed the instant I pressed submit

....it's like my eyes are like kaleidoscopes...mannnnnn

How can kaleidoscopes be real if our eyes aren't real?

Submitted 7/13 with LizzyM of 73, abroad experience and no response yet, feels bad man.

 

[Apk13]

I see it as being on the interview waitlist when you have green checks. Waiters got to wait.

 

[Spector1]

Does anyone know how many interviews they usually give out per season?

 

[ScubaManD]

Does anyone know how many interviews they usually give out per season?

Based on what I've read they average around 10k applicants, ~500 interviews, ~200 spots. At least for the last 2 years. I think they had very small-no wait list movement for the class of 2018 and a bit for 2019. They do an unranked waitlist as well.

 

[neuropanic]

II this morning! Complete email (green check etc.) on 7/27 ; Secondary submitted 7/20

 

[Chasing Never Land]

Did anyone get an II with the green checks but no complete email?

 

[Master3930]

Did anyone get an II with the green checks but no complete email?

I did..

 

[nwts]

Yep.

MSAR will give you the exact figures for everything except number accepted post interview.

 

[Chasing Never Land]

MSAR will give you the exact figures for everything except number accepted post interview.

On that note, does anyone know what their rough post interview rate is? MSAR says they interviewed around 500 for around 200 spots last, which seems like good odds to me. Any of you guys coming on 9/28? I'm so excited to visit Tulane!

You didn't go to prep school in New Hampshire by any chance, did you? (Asking bc of your profile pic)

Nope. I've just got some Scottish pride! I should have maybe chosen the official rampant. But now I want to look into your reference

Thats a pretty early interview. I'm excited to visit tulane too though. never been to new orleans or to the south for that matter.

Does anybody else not have any IIs? I feel like everyone is getting them and I'm sitting here with none. I can't help but wonder

Moi

 

[Monophasic]

I'm with ya.

 

[IPICU]

Yeah I don't have any either

 

[sharkbyte]

Does anybody else not have any IIs? I feel like everyone is getting them and I'm sitting here with none. I can't help but wonder

Yep, same here. I've been complete at most of my schools since early-mid July so I'm starting to get slightly nervous, even though I know it's early in the cycle.

 

[canttellmenothin]

Just got a green check today, submitted 7/21

 

[radish2]

.

 

[han3]

Just got the green check too, and I was complete 7/18.

Also got green check today. Complete 7/22.

 

[4-cyclohexene]

I have had the green check since 7/15 and haven't heard back yet. Is it safe to say Tulane doesn't want me? 🙁

 

[piii]

Ugh, I was complete on 7/10 and my LizzyM is much lower than some of you guys who got rejected. Guess now I just have to wait for them to get around to sending me a rejection email too

Stats aren't everything my friend

 

[keepthejeep]

Stats aren't everything my friend

True that! I got an II a few days ago with a LizzyM of 68

 

[HybridEarth]

I have a really good feeling the week of 13-18 is still in progress or something... There's no way no one got an interview from that completion range

 

[4-cyclohexene]

@HybridEarth , I haven't been following this thread too closely, but no one who was complete that week got IIs?

 

[HybridEarth]

i did, comp 13 ii 17

I think I remember your post, you might be the only one. That four day turnaround time is an outlier in my opinion

 

[4-cyclohexene]

Completed the 15th and haven't heard back... Anyone that got an II complete on 7/15?

 

[keepthejeep]

@HybridEarth , I haven't been following this thread too closely, but no one who was complete that week got IIs?

I was complete 7/18 and received an II 7/27

 

[HybridEarth]

Well *^%# hahaha

 

[keepthejeep]

Well *^%# hahaha

I was able to check essentially all of those boxes on their application, so I don't know if that changes anything in how they review

 

[HybridEarth]

I got the green check marks 7/21, so I'm hoping I'll hear something soon. I was complete the 14th

 

[shco1992]

Invited to interview this morning.
