Does any one know if I were to do the MD/MPH would I be able to do research in another field? I am not sure if my interest in Infectious Diseases will change and don't want to get pigeonholed into one thing.
My understanding of the MD/MPH is that it's very flexible so I would assume yes.

Is just about everyone who isn't accepted after an interview placed on the acceptance range list? As someone currently on the acceptance range list, I'm clueless as to how many people are still up for an acceptance.

Should we expect to start hear back regarding final decisions next week?
I have no idea. Looking at previous year's threads, some people don't hear back till June and July.
 
Withdrawing as well, can't justify CoA and New Orleans was actually not to nice of a city when I visited (I was actually a little scared). Good luck to everyone!

I've been accepted and received that email as well. I'm on the fence about it. What do you think?

I got the email too, presumably because I didn't take biochem in college. On the one hand, I think it could be good to get in the biochem mindset right before med school starts (I've been out of college for a few years now). On the other hand, though, we did study biochem for the MCAT, so I might pass on it. What are you thinking?
 
I'm currently on the waitlist and Tulane would be my top choice if it weren't for the price tag. I was accepted to a cheaper IS school and I'm not sure if I should write a LOI. Any thoughts?

I would think thats gonna be a decision you have to decide on yourself. Take whatever the difference is in money and decide is Tulane worth that for you. My opinion is that you'll get a great education at Tulane as well as be in an inredible city for 4 years.

I wouldn't write an LOI considering you are leaning towards going to another school. I would just go to our in-state school.

Did anyone here apply after doing the Pharmacology program at Tulane or any of the other master's programs through BMS?
 
Note to anyone who paid a deposit and then decided to withdraw: Tulane will not automatically credit you your $100 deposit. You need to email them and request it. Because it's been over 90 days since the drop date, the process to get your money back will take an even longer time because of forms that need to be filled out.
