2016-2017 Tulane University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Update! It was indeed because I am writing the MCAT Aug 4 :/.. wish they'd consider my current MCAT (510). Only retaking cause Canadian schools..
did you indicate that on AMCAS? I'm doing the same thing but I haven't added it yet so I don't get held up at any schools unnecessarily...but it seems like I might anyway?

Not sure how you didn't; AMCAS really didn't give me a choice. Had my old date and current date uploaded when I went to the MCAT page. Which makes sense, since AAMC is all under one site.
 
Does Tulane send completion emails?

Same, after much consideration I decided to send Tulane the results. Seems like most people are opting to take CASPer.

Again, congrats on your II!

I also applied to NYMC (where it's mandatory) and figured in for a penny, in for a pound! Thank you so much! Fingers crossed for you too.
 
I haven't signed up and this is my only school that has it as an option. Can't decide if it is worth doing now...
 
Got the green check! Officially complete with LOR, etc on 7/20

Is there any correlation between getting a green check and II?

I think it just means your app is being read / close to being read by an actual human. I've been blessed by the almighty green check for about 2.5 weeks now and haven't heard anything, II or rejection.
 
I'm green! Complete 07/21
 
UGH I'm still red! Complete 7/20. Bad sign or they just haven't gotten to it yet?
 
Seems to be from this thread they're going in chronological order, sending out II as they go and rejections in small semi-regular batches. Anybody else complete 7/11?!? I'm starting to sweat over here

Just checked when I was complete and it was only 7/9, so not as mid-July as I thought. Don't freak out yet! 🙂
 
Rejected just now 🙁. Bummed as this was one of my favorite schools.

3.4 ish gpa 518 mcat, non-trad, complete 7/11. Best of luck to the rest of you!
 
Rejected. Best of luck to everybody else!

So many rejections 🙁 making me nervous. Would the two of you mind sharing your completion dates?
 
Complete around mid-July. LizzyM ~69. High grad and post-bacc GPA. No connection to LA. OOS. Reapplicant.

Complete 7/13, green check
 
I wanna call and ask about the red exclamation but it says admissions don't accept calls
 
Complete 7/16 with green check-- I wouldn't worry too much about the red to be honest though (as long your letters are in)
 
Rejection today- good luck everyone else!!
 
yay I'm finally green too! complete 7/16
 
I've been green for almost two weeks and the rejection waves are making me anxious.
 
Quick rejections always sting a little, but I wish more schools did things this way rather than letting you waste away till April wondering what's going on (even though it was clear like 5 months before what's going on). One less school to worry about is always a good thing.
 
What is mean green and red check?
 
not a good feeling
I got my first rejection last week, from Mayo, not Tulane. It certainly sucks. But keep the faith, man. You and me and hopefully all of our fellow SDNers are bound to get in somewhere! We each just need that one, single school. Don't give up. This fight is far from over.
 
Rejected, first rejection 🙁

I'm a little disappointed because I liked this school and thought I fit their mission. Already have some IIs though, so can't complain.

Sorry to hear that, but you have interviews at some great places so that's good . I just hate how unpredictable this process is .

Don't you have like 5 IIs or something? Hopefully that cushions the blow a little LOL. Even with a bunch of IIs, a rejection or seeing other people get invites and not you doesn't feel good. It's still pretty early, so more invites will be coming your way soon.☺
 
Thanks guys! Not really upset given my other IIs, though I am a bit surprised because I thought I had great answers to Tulane's secondary. So it goes 🙂
 
So I recently got a new phone, but I forgot to add my school email to it. I do today, and I see a huge load of emails. I scroll down a bit and see that I got a Tulane II yesterday! Feels great! Interview is in mid-November though.

For reference, MCAT 510, GPA 3.65.
