That is fair, but multiple hurricanes hit New Orleans during this time last year. Good luck to everyone waiting!
True! I looked at the thread before the last and people heard back on the 15th so who knows I guess
Congratulations to everyone who got an interview and/or accepted! I'm sorry (again) for my late responses here; just finished another block exam. Hurricane Ida pushed everything back a fair bit, so everything is condensed and made checking SDN the lowest priority.
I don't think it matters as much when you pick an interview; assuming you don't pick a date several months later (i.e. you receive an II in early October 2021, but picks a date in February 2022). That would raise a few negative eyebrows (apologies for being judgemental). As for when you'd hear back your decision (whether it'd be regarding interview invitations or waitlist/acceptance), this is again non-linear. Tulane tries its best to remain relatively on time, but seeing that we receive many applications, it's not unreasonable that there'd be some delays.
For reference, I got my II 1 month after submitting my secondary; interviewed 2 months later and got my acceptance 1 month later. I also know of fellow first year classmates who received their II multiple months after submitting their secondary and/or acceptance around 2-3 months after their interview too. The process, unfortunately, is non-linear; numerous factors and steps are involved (i.e. linkage programs, stats/experiences, who is reviewing your file(s), when your file is reviewed post-II, etc) that are not revealed to those outside of the Admissions Committee. It's a black box that is understandably anxiety-inducing for applicants.
Good luck with your applications! I'm sure you are all excellent candidates who I'd love to meet next year as future classmates!

What if we called? I interview 9/3... Was expecting a call by now... Oh well. Even if it's a waitlist I would rather know.

Complete 8/11
Complete 8/8
I’m not under review. Complete mid august
Complete 9/7 just put on review 10/15. I got the "under review" email the day after I submitted an update, so I'm curious if the two are related. Probably just a coincidence

Is it just one faculty interview? Or multiple?

same is this basically a soft rejection? Anyone know what the hold means at this school?
It's not a soft reject. If anything, its a not too bad spot because they didn't straight up reject you. You have potential to be accepted, which is the good part. Consider that out of 18k+ applications they only interview 600 MAX, which is approx 3.3%. It's quite early in the season as well, so if they think that you have potential to be interviewed, it's not a bad spot to be in
Finally under review. Complete 8/8.
