People who have not yet been invited for interviews and have not been rejected either, is there even any chance at this point? Are there any interview days left?
 
Finally rejected pre-interview invite yesterday via email. I was complete in July.
 
Tulane is quickly becoming my last hope to become a doctor this year. I loved the school and thought I fit well.

Does anyone recommend sending in a LOI?
 
anyone know the most recent date that has heard back? I'm end of January and anxiously awaiting news! Also, do people hear e-mail or snail mail?
 
So I’m guessing we won’t be hearing back anything else from Tulane this week?

Going through last years thread it looks like this was the week where the last round of acceptances came out before April 30. So if they do it similarly this year there should be multiple days this week where people hear. Though take that with a grain of salt because it does seem odd that they wouldn't continue giving out acceptances through March and April...maybe people just weren't posting.
 
Since it's now March 16. I'm guessing Tulane has already offered acceptances to their expected number of seats available going by amcas protocol.

I interviewed 2/1 and am straight up going insane. Not a word.

So March 15 is the date that all schools were required to send out acceptances equal to the number of seats that they have. It seems like those interviewed after January 19 were basically fighting for a waitlist then?

This is not the case, because of yield.

March 15th: School X with 100 seats needs to have sent 100 acceptances. But School X will surely send more than 100 total acceptances, unless it thinks it can attain a 100% yield.

I guess a school could send acceptances equal to seats, then waitlist a bunch of people and draw a ton from the waitlist later. If you figure a school needing to accept 2.5x the number of seats they have, drawing 150 from the waitlist seems really high. But that is not what the March 15th date implies.

Then does this mean that they won't tell us our decisions unless people start yielding their acceptances? Unless of course it's an obvious rejection....
 
Finally got my pre II rejection this morning. Sadness 🙁
 
So, will it be quiet from Tulane until the beginning of May?

I really hope not :/

I figure those of us who interviewed and haven't heard a peep have to hear something before traffic day. But I also don't see much on last year's thread...maybe people just got bored of posting?

The wait is killing me!

Maybe. I am hopeful that those who haven't heard will hear soon because they seem to accept a couple of Acceptance Range people when they do!

"We change this subject line every email to drive people insane"

I can't imagine in what world this is useful information? Like if you get an email from Tulane is the subject line going to determine whether you open it or just trash it? If you literally -have- to know mine said "Tulane University School of Medicine: Offered Admission".

Saints if you're my future anatomy partner I just want to say sorry and I'll buy you a drink (or 2), but know now that every email I ever send you will have a misleading subject line
 
Does anyone have any information about Tulane's average Step 1 score? I haven't been able to find it :/
