Preparing for my interview! Was wondering how it was for everyone (strictly formal, professional but conversational, etc.) and approximately how long it was? Was it with professors, administrators, med students, etc?

+1 I'm curious too. I saw a few people saying it's very laid back but I interviewed with Shreveport a while back and I don't know how you get more laid back than that. Lol
 
For those of you that got accepted regular MD: did you receive your acceptance within 3-6 weeks of interviewing or was it outside that window?

Does anybody have an idea of what the post II acceptance rate is? I’ve looked and it’s not published. Some suggest it’s above 70% but I’m not sure if this a result of certain guaranteed programs

I'm not familiar with the lingo, do you mean after the interview?

it seems to be about 30%, no?

I think it was 600 invite and 190 accepted

Check my post history I linked the MSAR image there.

You have to also take into account the people who got accepted and did not ultimately matriculate (they got multiple A's). Some med schools can take up to 2-3 accepts for one eventual matriculant.

Is what Shreveport's was like but this one has been the most laid back one I've had so far. Everyone very very friendly and time went by very quickly and I left excited about the opportunity! (I interview back in September and got the A 5 weeks after)

I was thinking 400 acceptances for ~190 spots. However, I know that there are linkage programs and guaranteed acceptance programs for tulane undergrads (ex. Creative scholars). So by the time people interview, there could significantly less than 190 open spots left.
 
Does anyone know why Tulane gets so many applications each year? I'm really curious.

True. But I've done some research and there are also a lot of schools in similar (and perhaps, better?) locations that don't get over 10k+ applications.

This is 100% all speculation and probably wrong but


Maybe there aren’t that many schools with those stat ranges in the south, compared to the northeast or the west?
So they will get more apps cause there’s less schools to apply to for someone who has good stats and wants to live in a “desirable” area in the south.

That's plausible. Thanks for the reply!

Most of their class is out of state, they're a relatively good school in a desirable location, and they take a wide variety of stats. A lot of people just add Tulane when they're applying to apply broadly for these reasons. For a similar reason, Miami has numbers very close to Tulane I think. They're considered a low yield school like Rush, Drexel, Rosalind Franklin ect, who also get a lot of applications.

In the South, if you exclude Texas, there is UAB (which is a state school), Emory and Vanderbilt (very high stat schools) as the high ranking schools with relatively desirable living areas to name a few.
