I believe one person got an acceptance so far from the 17th in this thread. Haven't heard anything myself. Don't know if silence means rejection or they just have a weird way of sending acceptances out.

Those that were accepted... Did you have ties to Tulane/New Orleans? What do you think helped you stand out besides stats?

I did, very strong ties. I used to live there, got married there, and my dad and brothers currently do. They look for connections to NOLA, but if you don't I would emphasize an interest in the city and talk about how you plan on visiting xyz while you are there and that you like it so far, etc.

I've no state ties or ties to NOLA. surprisingly shocked but excited!!!!! but loved NOLA when I interviewed!
I also had strong ties. Grew up there, old family ties to the university and area. Katrina victim.

Honestly at this point I am more annoyed than anything. If all the decisions have been made they could update us all at the same time. I can take a denial, I am not gonna jump off a bridge but this pointless waiting game is annoying.
Yes me! Received the email around 8PST
Heads up, I cancelled my interview for 12/11! Hopefully it's open for another person to interview/interview earlier. Good luck everyone!!

yeah it is just one from here so far. Maybe next week? who knows
If your app has been "in progress" for 3 months, is that a silent "R"?

I just got moved up the interview date from 01/16 to 12/11 I think I just got the slot 🙂 much love
Woah nice! Hope you get in!!
Did you call to see if there was availability?
No, they are vocal about R or Holds so just be patient
Interviewed on 9/6, silence still. I called them earlier and said my app was still under review and I should "expect an answer soon"... Anyone else in the same boat? I'm assuming the worst

Nope I don't think so I haven't
Hey all, I was wondering if i could get some guidance. I am a Canadian applicant and my application was completed in mid August, however my application has yet to be reviewed. Seeing how acceptances have already come out, should I prepare myself for some bad news? My apologies, but the difference between the Canadian and US systems have me a little confused. In Ontario, the province I live in, everyone interviews before final acceptances and rejections are handed out to everyone on the same day.
I didn't ask about this on interview day, so if anyone has any insights, I'd love to hear! Do we know if people on the Acceptance Range WL are reconsidered along the way (i.e. if anyone comes off WL in the Fall/Winter) or if it's pretty unlikely for WL people to start being taken off before the spring?

Looking at last year's thread, it looks like people got off the waitlist starting mid January and still continued sporadically until mid to late June when most of the waitlist movement happened. I also got waitlisted last week, and talked to my student host about it, and he said 2 of the top students in his year got off the waitlist, and did say he knows quite a bit of current students (all years) who have gotten off the waitlist 🙂
Acceptance range (waitlist) just now. Super bummed because I love this school but am remaining hopeful. Interviewed Sept 17th.
Hi. Also Canadian.
The US schools use a rolling basis of admissions, meaning that they interview and accept throughout the whole cycle. Applications that aren't rejected are continuously looked at, so if you haven't been rejected you are still in the running for the remaining spots.
They do this due to the high volume of applications compared to Canadian schools. It also means that the earlier your applications get in, the more spots are available. I am not sure about Tulane, but I think I read somewhere that some schools hold back the internationals until later in the cycle.
Who did you email? I only saw three availabilities when I selected my interview date. All three being mid spring 🙁
Thanks for the reply!

II yesterday! Really was not expecting it considering how early they start their application process. OOS, complete 8/22, under review 9/6. Earliest date available for II was 2/6/2020.
Am I the only one complete in August who's STILL not under review yet?
Edit: Should I leave it or should I call to see if they lost my app or something?

I got an II yesterday too and scheduled my interview today! Earliest available dates were in mid-March. I was put on "hold for possible interview" a few weeks ago so I'm very happy to have this!

Uh oh... looks like I’m getting an R from this school for sure.
Same...I'm STILL not under review yet...RIP
Been under review since late September. Hope they’re still giving out interviews.
It’s actually sad how some people marked complete in early or mid-August still haven’t gotten their application even looked it. It’s like you never stood a chance. And this is early or mid-August. It’s not like people were complete late like after Labor Day.
