Haha you have to not get so triggered by people having interviews or you’re going to be miserable until you get them. No need to project your insecurities on others. He/she has the right to care about a school that he/she applied to.

Complete 8/15 guess I won’t be under review until near October and by that point they will be on March interviews. Lmao.

Finally marked complete this evening after nearly two months of being under review
So I know no one cares BUT I did the unthinkable- I glanced at last years thread. It seems like unlike this year, last year had a hold as a post-review status in addition to II/R. Thats probably why people are not hearing back within a month+ with a concrete answer- they are likely in the hold category without a formal title.
Tulane probably has the most laid-back interview you'll have all cycle. It's a long day and there's a fair amount of walking, so if you're wearing heels be sure to wear comfortable ones (and definitely bring comfy shoes to change into for the tour at the end). The sequence of events in the day is as follows: Introduction, patient simulation, faculty interview, student lunch interview, tour. Everyone on my day was kind, enthusiastic, and genuinely wanted us to be comfortable and express our unique personalities. As they mention in the email, it is truly just having a conversation, rather than being grilled from a set list of questions. My advice: relax, take several slow deep breaths, and understand that everyone on your interview day wants you to succeed. Ask questions to all the various people you'll meet that day, as everyone has insight on the school that will help inform your choice. If you can stay with a student host the night before, I highly recommend it! Explore the city and get a feel for its unique culture; as all the locals will tell you, there's no place like it on Earth.
Best of luck to all interviewing!
Also, side note: CASPer is not currently being used as an admissions metric, but Tulane is tracking it in order to determine whether it correlates with success in the interview and academic success in the med school later on. They're currently evaluating its validity, so it won't be used against you this cycle.

The past 24 pages of this forum discuss exactly that. The last one turns green when they look at your app.
I find this process super strange.. I submitted 8/29 and got a complete and under review email under a week after. I don't have high stats but I would say I'm a great fit for their mission with great EC? Idk maybe it's just an automatic sorting into the R pile lol.
Tulane could likely have median stats like 3.8/515 if they wanted to select for GPA and MCAT due to being an awesome school and having so many applicants. They seem more focused on other parts of your app.
That's very true! Well, I'll cross my fingers they see some things they like in my app. Maybe they filter apps for hours of volunteering/leadership? As in when they look at it I mean. Or maybe it's all random who knows
I interviewed there recently. They love their nontrads with unique experiences/stories
I hope so, because my mcat score is comparable to an old soggy sandwich.
People love French Dip sandwiches. It’s all preference
Also, sandwiches people make the day after thanksgiving tend to be soggy, and those are delicious!People love French Dip sandwiches. It’s all preference
+2. Good sciences, total # botched by cars
Complete 8/21 and under review 9/11, Is this a good thing? Also, how long are people typically under review for?
Many here have been under review since june and july.
I’ve been under review since mid-July and haven’t received any news. Don’t expect anything. Be pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised if/when you do.
Samesies! I have been under review since July 22nd
Under Review 8/20 as well, R today
Sorry to hear thatUnder Review 8/20 as well, R today
I submitted a month ago and I’m still not under review.
Just got an “on hold” email. Lol
+1, guessing there'll be a massive wave of these today.
+1; At least I finally heard something after 2 months of silence!
On "hold for possible interview" today.
Under review many moons ago - 7/12.

Lol is this hold different than any other hold? Why did the wording of it make it sound so nice.
pre-II hold lmao and was under review 07/05 (OOS CA applicant)
Considering they're already scheduling interviews into Feb/March, I'm fully considering this an R lol
Edit: I deleted the Tulane "hold" email, and got an identical email not a minute later. Thanks for the reminder, Tulane.
Sorry to hear all I didnt think they were doing holds anymore bc of this blurb lol.
UR 8/9 and nothing back since.
