Complete
If you have a green check mark next to "in progress" it means your app is currently "under review".
I have a r
I have a red exclamation.
It’s not yet complete/it’s not yet under review. It’ll probably happen in the next couple weeks
great, thank you!

Submitted my secondary on 7/14 and finally just got the email saying my application is complete and under review!
I didn't even get my secondary until the 23rd smh. that kinda makes it unfair since they're so heavily rolling. pretty much just luck then

Could be related to when our primary apps were verified?
Have you tried calling admissions?
I think they are backed up. I was only verified like 10 days ago and got my secondary a couple of days after.
Dont think so. I was verified in early June but only got my secondary a few days ago.

I was verified in early June and just got a secondary 2 days ago. I'm OOS. To me it seems like they're backed up with lots of applications and COVID issues, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting a secondary later than you expect. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

I absolutely agree. Some schools like GW and Jefferson are pooling applicants before they send out the majority of their IIs. So I genuinely believe that it's unwise to use previous years' admissions processes and expectations
What do you mean by pooling?
GW and Jefferson will go through apps but put a majority of their applicants on hold in the initial review. The people who get interviews are usually extremely high stats/have ties to the school/ cured cancer or whatever, but this is more or less rare. The majority of their interviews will get sent out when they have reviewed most of the applications/ are going through rereviews ie. when they've pooled most of their applicants.
Agreed. I was on rereview last time i applied and II invite around thanksgiving. This year i have a much higher mcat, pubs, and i was still put on rereview.

What did you say? I don’t want to sound pushy!

@Just_Daikon explains it well. They'll collect most of their applications and then undergo a massive review/re-review before sending out the majority of their IIs. Both schools are low-yield so it makes sense that they want to get a broad look at the applicant pool before sending out invites

When will you think first II will go out?

According to the website, interviews will start in September, so I think invites will go out sometime in the next two weeks. I think it's likely to see IIs starting on Monday, which would give applicants about three weeks to schedule for that first slot
It’s crazy since past years II’s starting going out way earlier, they are def delayed this year

I totally forgot to apply to Tulane when I submitted my primaries. I know they really like their early applicants. Do you guys think it is worth sending in my primary now?
it seems their cycle itself is delayed. Might as well shoot your shot 🙂
Whats the typical secondary turn around time frame for Tulane? Does the 2 week rule apply here, since I know they like early applicants.

I’m pretty sure this has been asked a few times on this same thread

Yeah, they said it was recommended so I thought it would be best to send it
where? I don't see it.
I just made a list.
I would try contacting them, from what I have seen on this discussion board, if you contact them, they send it immediately
For any secondary, it should be at max two weeks, but get them in ASAP. I would not wait for more than two weeks on a secondary.
I listed leadership, went into a little detail about hobbies
For the people that have gotten a complete under review notification, have any heard back about any ii?
Hey if anyone has insight about Tulane / NOLA I'd be appreciative!
1. What is a typical week like for M1/M2? How much required PBL / lab is there compared to lectures?
2. What is living in NOLA like? Would it be easy to live in suburbs? Is there a lot of crime?
Thanks y'all!

I can speak on your second question: I was born and raised in NOLA and I think it's the greatest city in the world (though I'm obviously biased lol). It's such a fun place to live, there's always something to do, amazing food, music, cultural events, etc. NOLA residents are the most hospitable, friendly people you'll find. Living in Uptown or Mid-City would probably be best - close to campus and some of the coolest areas in town. As far as crime, NOLA has safer areas and not-so-safe areas, just like any other big city.
Where are the interviews? Anyone got any deets on the delay?

I looked at the MD tracker that's on Reddit and it seems like they've just started to send out IIs
I don’t see anything for Tulane
The one lone wolf! Hopefully this means more are on the way.

Thank you. I had the same file open but for some reason it wasn't showing Tulane, maybe since it was a very recent invite and wasn't updating on my end. Surprised Tulane is so delayed compared to previous years
