LOL don't think like that! I got the green check mark recently and told myself that many people will withdraw after first batch of acceptances, which will lead to interview spots being open at Tulane. Just in time for me to snatch them 😏!

Does anyone know if the $100 commitment deposit is refundable? Just curious.

For what it's worth, back in the day I had an acceptance to Tulane and another school. When I decided on Tulane, I notified the other school (via email) and a paper check for $100 arrived soon afterwards.

Nobody is going to scam you out of your Benjamin.

LOL i'd give u as many interviews as u want if i can get 1! as much as i would like to take u up on that pact, this is my 3rd app cycle and regardless of the result it will be my last. so i must get an interview!!!!!!
 
Does anyone have info on ~how many acceptances Tulane offers? They don't seem to interview many candidates compared to other schools!
 
I'm curious if there are any current Tulane students out there who would be willing to field some PM questions from me (just got accepted yesterday, starting to mull over my acceptances and would love the insider scoop). Thanks!

I picked 10/25. It was the only one available in October and November and I didn't look any further out than that.

Congrats to all you acceptees!!! Just wondering, is there anyone who DIDNT take CASPER and still got admitted??

Thanks!
 
Where is it that everyone read about taking CASPER for Tulane? They only place I ever see it referenced is in this thread.

Fire away. You should also get an email from a current student in the next couple weeks for this exact purpose.

If you don't mind me asking..did you complete the CASPER assessment? and if so do you think your scores were available by the time the adcom made their decision?

Yea i took the casper at the end of august so i believe i got the scores back at the end of september? Still didn't have green check mark until a week ago so they had plenty of time to see my casper.

In all honesty, i dont think they care at all about the casper. the exam is not sophisticated enough to give any insight to the applicant. For all they know, someone can be sitting in front of a webcam while someone else who can also see the screen type and answer with a remote keyboard....
 
If I submitted the secondary this weekend would that be too late in the cycle?
 
It was kinda tough but I decided to withdraw from my interview with Tulane today...hope one of y'all will get it!
 
Random, but are the interviewers the same gender as the interviewees?

Thanks and good luck to your cycle! When were you scheduled for (or like the month if you wanna stay more anonymous)?
 
Received an email yesterday morning stating that I was wait-listed or as Tulane like to say "Acceptance-Range." I interviewed 10/3, took the Casper, and thought that the interview went really well and received good feedback. Disappointed because I thought I was a good fit for the school. Guess I'll have to wait until March or May to see if there's any movement and start drafting those letters of interest. . . .
 
I have an interview in January, but I got accepted closer to home so I may not go. What's particularly great about Tulane?
 
What's the deal on people withdrawing from their interview dates? If we're scheduled for a late one can we email to request an earlier date or are we stuck with what we have? I'm not until January but I saw someone earlier on the thread say they saw openings in November...

i called and asked about this and basically they said they over schedule fall interviews in preparation for some people withdrawing so nothing earlier is open

curious about this too, but for other schools lol - all this silence has me debating putting in other apps to school I'm interested in but worried it's way too late especially because I have a LM of ~70

Couldn't have said it any better. I'm in the same boat, and wondering if letters of interest will be of any benefit this early on. Out of curiosity, what are your stats?
