Can anyone who has already interviewed speak to the time the interview day ends? I know the email said it would end at 2:30, but I just wanted to make sure it actually ends by then so I can purchase plane tickets
How is everyone preparing for the "standardized patient" experience?
Is it really the same thing? What’re you even supposed to do? Just introduce yourself? Do a physical?
The way I'm picturing it;
You have a person, either someone acting as longstanding patient or maybe it's an EM or urgent care scenario, and you gather a history from the patient. You ask what brings them in, ask about the specifics of their symptoms, take note of what symptoms are missing, and then go on to ask them about their entire medical history and what medications they may take on a daily basis. Just trying to build a clinical picture.
I can't imagine they'll have people do a physical. Though maybe you could say, "Ok now I will perform a physical, I press on their abdomen, what transpires?" and the interviewer could prompt you with a result. This is all my speculation, there could be specific rules and guidelines.
I work in an ER and often do take histories and present to the doctors I work with. That's kind of how I've prepared.
Lol so we're supposed to act like physicians before we got the training? Guess I gotta learn how to take a history then. The website just says "The interviewee will also participate in a "standardized patient" exercise in which they will play the role of a first year medical student interviewing a patient. "
This means they haven't rejected you and might give you an interview later right?Under review for a week and just put on hold for interview
Yes but unlikely lolThis means they haven't rejected you and might give you an interview later right?

From less than 48 hrs - 2 monthsAnyone know how long on average it takes to get a response after you are under review?
Complete on 7/28. Absolutely nothing from them. 😵 Unfortunately this seems like par for the course.Submitted July 25- Still not complete. Have the red check
Will most likely call tomorrow
Does anyone else have this issue?
Extremely chill. It's New Orleans! Everyone is just happy to meet you and wants to chat. A little nerves are good, but have fun while you're at Tulaneand in NOLA. It's a really great interview day.So how's the interview experience here? Stressful or chill? I'm so nervous for mine in a few weeks 🙁

Same boat with IS, complete in August, and haven't heard 😵 best of luck! If only Tulane had IS preference 😀First post on this thread!
IS applicant. High-ish stats but kind of non-trad because of graduating college in 3 years. So basically I applied after two years in college. Despite being complete at a few schools in mid-August, I have heard back nothing so far. I'm worried my ECs may not be competitive enough for this school.
Thanks so much for the info! Did they mention anything about the post II acceptance rate this early in the cycle? I heard it’s high but I’m not sure.
Where and how have you heard it’s high? All those past post II acceptance rates might be out the window now because of the multiple acceptance report being gone.

So normally schools used to be able to predict how many acceptances they could hand out and how many at a time due to the acceptance reports that were around. This allowed them to judge yield and also affected how many people they end up waitlisting.Can you help me understand how that affects applicants? I don't get it truthfully. I've tried to read up on things :/ thank you!
App complete and under review!! submitted secondary 8/30
Still holding out hope as a Tulane undergraduate alumni

Applicants will be interviewed by one faculty member or administrator. All interviews with faculty members or administrators are "blind" and informal. The interviewers will be able to see the applicant's secondary application and the personal statement if they choose to do so.Hi how is the interview here? Is it traditional?
submitted secondary early August, but has not been completed yet (red exclamation mark next to "in progress"). Is a hope for II pretty much over given how fast they move through the cycle?
Submitted secondary & complete on 8/25. Went under review this morning 9/14 and got an II this afternoon. 509 mcat, 3.72 cGPA, 3.57 BCPM. Have a good app otherwise. First available interview is Feb. 1st so scheduled then! Does anyone know what the chances are for such late interviews?
Similar stats but I’ve been under review for almost a month now .....
Don’t know if it’s good or bad
Yea. I've been under review since 8/29 with similar stats as well. They'll likely give out a bolus of pre-II holds soon...
"bolus" nice
Yes, in their letter they give us during the interview, they said mid october they will start sending out acceptancesCan’t stop thinking about my time here. The school and the city really amazed me with what they had to offer. Really hoping for some good news next month at this school! Do you all know if we hear back October 15 or later?

Hey, during the interview, did you hear anything about how many IIs (or percentages) they gave out already? Trying to figure out whether they are almost done with IIs while my app is still under review.Yes, in their letter they give us during the interview, they said mid october they will start sending out acceptances
Are the rolling out acceptances or are there certain dates/times of the month we should be expecting them?Yes, in their letter they give us during the interview, they said mid october they will start sending out acceptances
They didn't say in particular how many interviews they already gave out, but there are 20 spots for every interview group and just in September, I believe there are 4 groups, and possibly 1 in August. So, someone here said they signed up for a spot in February. If I had to venture a guess, assuming 80 students interviewing per month, already 560 students have received an invite. They only invite 600 interviewees out of 12000 applicants, so I think they are near the end of the invitations. Having said that, please be patient and you never know. Hope you get an II soon!Hey, during the interview, did you hear anything about how many IIs (or percentages) they gave out already?

Yes rolling, the letter said 3 weeks after the interview if you interviewed after the 10/15 date.Are the rolling out acceptances or are there certain dates/times of the month we should be expecting them?
Thanks so much for the detailed reply! I am crossing my finger for an II at Tulane, even though the chances are slim given how fast they move through the cycle. I hope you hear good news from them! 🙂They didn't say in particular how many interviews they already gave out, but there are 20 spots for every interview group and just in September, I believe there are 4 groups, and possibly 1 in August.

I am wondering if it could be a good sign that we haven't been put on hold or rejected yet since they seem to give those out quickly. In my opinion, I would just like to know rather than wait even if it is a rejection. Maybe next week will be the week we find out!Thanks so much for the detailed reply!
