2016-2017 Tulane University Application Thread

The icon next to my "in progress" line changed from a red ! to a green check. Am I correct in thinking that I should expect either an interview or a rejection shortly?

I'd say 1-3 weeks. I'm expecting something by the end of this week or early next week.

If you haven't figured it out all ready, I had to cycle through a couple of months before I found dates that said "available" in bold letters. The earliest I saw on Monday was for October.

Do you know what dates were available in October?

Last years thread there was silence till very late in the cycle for some. A few received interviews later on. Its random how they review and re-review. You'll get considered either way. Just set it and forget it!
 
Went to go confirm I still had a red check after being complete since 7/11 aaaaaand the green exclamation mark was there 😱 last time I checked the portal was 7/21 so no clue when it happened but guess I'll be hearing soon....
 
I feel like the girl from the Scarlett Letter.. forever tainted by the red exclamation point D=
 
Congrats marmanq!! That's awesome! Would you mind sharing when you were completed 😀
 
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..

I think he submitted a week before you, but it still had the red point. I submitted around the same time you did and stil have the red point. If I get a green point and you don't, then that might mean something is wrong with your app. They are just going through them chronologically.
 
I just called to ask about the red mark. They said my application is complete, and it just hasn't gone through screening, that's all.

I was complete 7/15, MD/MPH applicant

Website...

An application is considered complete once the Tulane School of Admissions and Student Affairs has received the primary and secondary applications, application fee, MCAT score, and all letters of evaluation. Once an application is complete, the file is read by one or more members of the Admission Committee. One of two actions may result from screening. The applicant may be:

  • INVITED FOR INTERVIEW BY EMAIL, or
  • NOTIFIED OF NON-ACCEPTANCE BY EMAIL
During the screening process the contents of the entire application are taken into account, but at this stage of review the greatest emphasis is placed upon an applicant's academic record and letters of evaluation. Nonetheless, experience shows that students with a broad range of coursework (both science and non-science courses), active participation in college or campus life, and a good record of community service are more likely to be invited for interviews.

I figured I'd let ya know rather than just ignore it. If I had to answer that, id write about rural and underserved populations and tie that into Indiana. If you don't actually want to do that stuff, I would not apply.

I never did either. However, if you check under the emails tab on the application portal it should be there. At least thats what happened in my case

same except complete 7/11
I wonder if those who got rejected also had a green check mark.

I believe so. But when I called they said the green check comes up when you're being screened (by an actual person). So I guess our applications are finally next in line to be viewed! I'm assuming everyone has to have a green check at one point, following which, you can either get an II or a rejection.
 
Moved to green check here too, complete 7/15

Sorry to derail the thread. I noticed your 7 IIs and wanted to congratulate you. You may be holding the current record for the 2016-17 cycle.
 
Anyone else having issues with their portal right now? It won't load the website for me.

Hmm, annoying. I just sent in my payment and as soon as I was going to submit it crashed. Thank you for checking!

That's weird. Maybe your connection just went out briefly? It'll prob start working again soon
It's no problem!
