2017-2018 Tulane University Application

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just got the reject today. Complete 8/9/17. Green check mark 9/11. It was about time.
 
Go ahead and do it 🙂

Hi friends, so I actually got a call from the admissions office (neurotic me ended up calling about this pretty early on last week, left a voicemail lol) today. They said for the 9/15 interviewees (I interviewed then) that technically we should have heard by now, but the reviewers evidently are pretty backed up on reviewing applications/decisions (the caller was kinda vague on which) and for that reason, we haven't heard anything. We should be hearing within the next week. Hope this helps anyone else out there!

Eh, I’m going to take this with a grain of salt since when I called last week, they told me we would hear back by the end of the week (last Friday). Then someone else called at the end of the week last week and admissions said we would hear back by the end of this week. At this point I would just give them their space so that can do what they need lol. BUT I do think the 9/15 interviewees should be hearing soon. It’s the 9/15 beyond (me) that will prob not hear for some time.

Thanks for the update! This makes me feel a little more content as a 9/15 interviewee but now my nerves are amped up again think a decision could come soon!

I can respect that! We just all gotta be patient essentially. It's all we can do anyway.
 
This morning. Not going to lie, I am pretty bummed. I really enjoyed the school and hoped I could be done with the cycle, but oh well.
I’m sorry 🙁 but you also interviewed super early, which gives you more time to update them on your interest and potentially get off the waitlist
 
3.2 GPA, 505 MCAT, URM. 3.6 GPA over last 90 credits (freshman year was not so great!). Lost of EC's, shadowing, clinical experience so glad Tulane looked at my application holistically.
Wow! Good for you. You interviewed in Sep. When were you complete and when did you get the green checkmark?
 
my status is red exclamation.. I submit late... Do I have a chance to be invited for interview?
I got an interview but was complete 7/15. Yes you have a chance but it is small considering the speed with which Interviews fill up. I don't think there is any specific algorithm that says (EC + MCAT + Complete date)/x *100= % chance of II. Just cross your fingers, hope for the best, and buckle up 🙂
 
Got an acceptance email today!!! Interviewed 9/28/17.
I noticed that all my emails from tulane (secondary + II) came in at ~7:40AM PST so I checked my email before work and it came exactly at 7:40 again today haha. Good luck everybody!
