Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
II are already being sent and I (and I guess many others) are still waiting for our apps to be reviewed :/

I say just sit tight. I submitted my secondary July 14th and my app still isn't even under review yet lol...I think they're so swamped bc of the high application numbers that stuff is just taking a while.

You'll probably get it some time next week, but even then it may take a while before they actually get around to reviewing it.

I recently got a super strong letter of rec that was delayed due to COVID. I haven’t submitted my secondary yet — is it possible to switch another letter out for this letter if I email them?

You can't "un-send" a letter on AMCAS once you have sent it.
You may be able to get your new letter uploaded to AMCAS and then assign it to some of your other schools, if they take more than 3 letters.
However, Tulane allows a maximum of 3 letters and only via AMCAS, which it states in no uncertain terms on their web page. They will not accept letters mailed directly to them either.
From their web page:
Do not submit more than three letters total, if sending individual letters.

We prefer no more than 3 LORs. If you have submitted more than 3 LORs, TUSOM can do nothing to edit this as all of the letters will be sent to us. The committee will read what they individually see fit.
 
I don't really know how ED works, but is it possible that the single Tulane II reported in the Interview Tracker could be an ED applicant?
 
Does anyone else have a red exclamation point over their LORs application status even though it says all have been received?

If you have been verified for 2 weeks or more, I would consider emailing them. I like some other people received a secondary soon after emailing them.
 
verified 8/1 and haven't received a secondary. should I email them?
 
How strict do you think they are on having only 3 individual letters? I’m non-trad, and I have 4 letters I’d like to submit: a committee letter, TFA supervisor (principal) letter, one science, and one non-science (major advisor).

see above: pretty definite about it! #417
 
Hey everybody, for those of you who had given up hope, my application is finally under review lol...I submitted my secondary July 14th, only one day after receiving it. I think they are likely overwhelmed with the amount of applications they have. They'll get to you, though.
 
So I applied ED (went to Tulane for undergrad) but haven't heard back about an interview yet. My application was marked under review on 7/24 and I have all the green check marks. Should I be worried that I haven't heard about an interview yet? They usually have the ED interviews during the first 2 weeks of September

Their cycle is delayed this year.

We're in a pandemic, I don't think anybody should be worried tbh.

I think you’re fine. Trust me it definitely sucks that the cycle seems to be a month delayed this year, but this pandemic is probably making it so tough on the admissions team since they are most likely working from home.
 
I submitted my secondary 7/20 and still have not received the complete email. Should I call admissions?

I submitted mine on the 14th and finally got an email that it was complete yesterday lol. Don't sweat it. I think things are just really hectic for them right now given the pandemic.
 
I submitted 07/21 and just got an email that I am under review!
 
Question: In the application portal it says that they have received all my LORs however I still have a Red incomplete mark next to them. Is this normal/happened to anyone else?

Also submitted 7/20 and haven’t gotten complete email, so it’s not just you! I’m going to just wait longer since it specifically says not to contact them for updates.

i think ppl are referring to getting another email after the complete email saying the app is under review. i believe the complete email is automated.
Click to expand...
The email wouldn’t be automated if all the materials hadn’t been received yet. But yes, that’s what most people are looking for.
 
Submitted secondary 7/24, the application is under review and complete today. Looks like it takes them about 2 weeks to get to it

Submitted Secondary 8/11, got complete email 8/12

Is this email referring to your application being under review? I'm asking because when I submitted in mid to late July, they said an email will be sent when my application is complete and under review. Wondering if that is the same thing. Can you clarify?

Nope just a complete email. Not under review yet
 
I think, in general, it is pretty safe to say that the pandemic has thrown their admissions process off (unsurprisingly so). If you have submitted your application, you will likely hear back from them a couple of weeks later.

It appears that they might process applications in batches, which would explain the differences between when people submit and hear back. In general, I just would not worry too much about how long it takes to hear back, as it is probably unrelated to your competitiveness as an applicant.

The pandemic means this process will certainly take longer than usual, we all just have to be patient.
