Not everyone who's been accepted is in it since it wasn't sent out through admissions. But its at 100. But only people who know people/on SDN are in it. I wouldn't take that number to mean anything though honestly, I don't think anyone knows how many acceptances are left to go out but the adcom.

And I’m assuming there’s current students in the group so it’d be lowered
 
There are currently 98 members; perhaps 2 are non-MS1. So let's say 96. In addition, as mentioned previously, SDN is not an accurate representation of the entire group of applicants, accepted and waitlisted students. So, it's not useful to use it as an estimate of how many acceptances are left.

Assuming you have no acceptances yet, it's not useful to wait. Rather,
1. Reflect on what led to sub-optimal results
2. Determine if you will be re-applying immediately (i.e. for 2021-22 cycle) or you will take an additional year to strengthen your app
3. Based on your answer to statement 2, start preparing your app or start seeking those opportunities to strengthen your app
 
I saw a spike in the fb group from 100 to 140, so Imagine there may have been a wave of decisions that went out. I know that’s not necessarily meaningful information but would like to receive a decision at some point :/

There was a spike because they sent out an email to admitted students telling them to join the facebook group lol. I got it a few hours ago
 
Interviewed 2/4, got placed in the acceptance range :/ I am fortunate to have some acceptances and this likely seals my decision as to where I'll enroll. Good luck to everyone here!

Sorry to hear about AR, I'm waitlisted at a few schools and it's not a fun time. I also interviewed 2/4, just wondering when exactly you received your AR email? Thanks!

I interviewed 2/25 - I followed up with the admissions office this week and they said they are hoping to have decisions out to everyone the next two weeks!

Keeping my fingers crossed I hear back this week 🙂

Edit: Has anyone who interviewed 2/25 or later heard back?

does anyone have insight on how accurate the MSAR WL approximation is that ~40 people get off the waitlist of 300 people?

it is Very Mean of them to include the word "acceptance" in the subject line of an email that does not, in fact, include an acceptance hahaha

Haha I felt the same way, another school sent me something along the lines of "After a thorough review of your app, the adcom deemed your app very impressive, and we have placed you on the WL. Congratulations on your placement on the WL." I had so many mixed emotions reading through that paragraph hahaha was confident it was an A by the first two sentences

For those on the AR (acceptance range), from browsing previous year's threads, it might be worthwhile to submit a letter of interest (or update letter) to TUSOM if you are interested. While I'm aware that some SDNers say that the letters are useless, fluff, non-binding and no one reads them, I think it is still worthwhile to write them. It provides another opportunity for admission committee members to learn more about you.

Even though there may be some WL movement in the coming weeks, there are many candidates competing for those spots. Thus, a well-written LOI might work to your advantage.

Just my .02. Good luck during these times!
 
So I'm holding an A at another school but I'm still waiting on Tulane's AR list. If I don't select Commit to Enroll on AMCAS by the 30th, will I lose my spot at the other school, and if I do, will I lose my place on Tulane's waitlist? Thanks!

If the school you have an A at requires PTE, you need to PTE there to keep your spot. You won’t get taken off Tulane’s WL until you officially withdraw I believe
