Members don't see this ad.

I know you weren't asking me but I was offered December 5th, 7th, and 9th. My sister is getting married that week... 😱

No, that's fine - Just the answer I was looking for! Thank you! Thats what I was offered too. I'm sure if you emailed them, they would offer you another date!

 

[iris11]

II!!!!! First of the cycle, Complete 7/15, so happy!!!!

 

[DefNotMe]

Got an II but aren't these interview dates kind of late? earliest is december during finals and then after that is january. not really sure since I don't know what the interview timeline should look like.

It is sort of late, but at their posted acceptance rates, I wouldn't really worry about it. (I am making the assumption that you are referring to rolling admission?)

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

Anybody here submit 8/2 that has a green check mark?

Do you know what the acceptance rates are? Yeah I was thinking in terms of rolling admissions

I apologize, matriculation. But even then 33ish percent of interviewees matriculate.

Use the 2:1 ratio and that's around 66% of interviewees are accepted.

Congrats everyone! Did you guys take Casper by chance?

 

[SydSing]

Congrats everyone! Did you guys take Casper by chance?

I did not. Not scheduled either.

 

[Ayy_MadScientist]

Congrats everyone! Did you guys take Casper by chance?

I did on July 26th so they had my score last week, and I've been complete since 7/13 - my stats aren't great, so maybe it helped?

 

[aymar]

Anybody here submit 8/2 that has a green check mark?

I was complete 8/3 and went green on Friday.

Yup. Check mark as of sometime early last week

 

[dental15triodino]

Nope no green check mark yet

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

Nope no green check mark yet

It might have something to do with me submitting it in mid July but my committee letter taking forever. I doubt it, but who knows.

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

EDIT: Submitted 8/2 green check 8/23

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

Potential dumb question. Tulane prefers 3 LOR, but would sending more than 3 hurt me? I know they will randomly choose three to read if so.

If they will randomly choose three, wouldn't you rather choose the three you think are the best, and just send those? Just curious what your train of thought is on this.

I had sent them 3 in the first place but received two more afterward my app was finished that I didn't plan on getting. One of which I know is quite good.

Oh I see. That's tough, I'd send the one I like if I were you.

Yeah I just went ahead and sent it. I can't imagine them poo-pooing me for more than 3 letters.

 

[WineLover777]

Received the green check mark (sometime between last Friday and today). Application completed: 7/30/2016. Took CASPer: 8/11/2016. Still no II or rejection.

 

[yungspleen]

Got the green check mark like a month ago but still no decision. I think someone said they send them out Wednesdays?

 

[Iwannaknow]

Yeah that's not true. People heard back yesterday I believe. I have the green check to for about 2-3 weeks so well see how long that takes. I'm not convinced green check means they have reviewed your app and made a decision. More likely, it just means SOMEONE has finally seen it, but it doesn't mean they are done reviewing or have made a decision.

 

[yungspleen]

Just got a missed call from an area code in Louisiana lol...I'm assuming Tulane doesn't call about interview decisions right? Must just be a coincidence

Edit: Called the number back, it was from a radio station in Louisiana

[MIMD1024]

Any post-bacc applicants out there? Did you include what you have been pursuing since post-bacc or everything you have done since undergrad?

 

[mandoggy]

II!

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

II!

Congrats dude! Stats if you don't mind! Also, when did you get your green check?

 

[hopelesslyhopeful]

Has anyone else had significant amounts of time between submitting and their green check? I've been complete since 7/27 with no green check still.....

I did a post-baccc. I included everything I've done since undergrad. (II received 8/4)

 

[alpha-GTP]

Any post-bacc applicants out there? Did you include what you have been pursuing since post-bacc or everything you have done since undergrad?

Since I had another career before postbacc classes, i included everything since graduating, including my former career.

 

[yungspleen]

Rejected just now. Can't say I'm surprised, as I definitely didn't seem to fit their mission, but I really did like the school. Good luck to everyone else waiting on their decisions!

OOS, completed 7/26, LizzyM ~73. Green check mark like 2 or 3 weeks ago.

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

Lamesauce. Sorry 🙁

 

[solbaby888]

[deleted713420]

i'm checking this thread for some glimmer of hope the same way i check my fridge when i know there's no food in there, thinking that some might magically appear

then i get freaked out and vow to not open sdn again and continue reading philip k dick's exegesis for some kind of almost-religious salvation

this process sucks, how am i going to do this for 6 months

 

[MaddieHope]

I've had the green check mark for over three weeks and still have heard nothing
I hate this waiting! Complete 7/17; anyone else complete that early and still waiting on a decision?

When were you complete? Are you IS?

 

[shutcheson94]

II! 67.2 LizzyM, completed on 7/18. I did not sign up for CASPer because I assumed I would not get an interview and did not want to waste time. Do you guys think I should go ahead and sign up for that?
