For those who have interviewed here, did you receive the names of the interviewers along with your zoom link prior to the interview? TYIA <3

If I remember correctly, I believe we got the zoom link the week before and we didn’t get the names of the interviewers until the intro part of the interview day

I see, thank you! did you attempt doing some quick research on them?

Hello! For those who DM'd me, I'm sorry for not replying. I had a block exam, so did not check SDN.

Yes, we got our Zoom link for virtual interviews about 1 week before. During that morning, you are told who your faculty interviewer is. It's up to you whether to do some quick research on them or do some light prep/rehearsal before your interviews.

For those who got a hold for a possible interview, it's not a soft R. They do take students from the hold list; although I'm not privileged to know the exact number. Sure, more students do not get off the list than those who do, so if you see that as a soft R, then it's your call. If Tulane allows you to upload update letters, I'd take the opportunity to do so. I'm not telling you to write an update letter every 2 weeks, but if you are interested in Tulane, then I don't think it will hurt your chances. Assuming you can upload letters, I'm not sure if your letters are read, as there are differing opinions about this. However, from the Admissions Committee perspective, let's say there are 5 candidates who are being held for interviews and you have 1 interview spot. If all other metrics are similar, would you give the spot to someone who sends periodic update letters or someone who you haven't heard from since submitting the secondary? I think the answer is pretty obvious here. Again, I'm not on Admissions Committee, so take my advice how you see fit. But, my point is that update letters will likely help rather than hurt your cause. (I'm assuming that your letters will be well-written, meaningful, free of grammar and spelling errors lol).

Good luck everyone and I hope to call you my classmate next year at TUSOM!

It seems as if it takes ~1 month to hear back after being under review. Is this everyone's experience?

That sounds very frustrating. No news is good news though! Are you from the area?

You're right- no news is good news! Honestly, I'm just thankful to be under review. Last year I don't even think I ever went under review! Lol!

They don’t go in entirely chronological order. I was complete 8/3, under review a few days later, and I interviewed in mid September.

Do you fall in the high priority groups (URM, high stats, etc)?

 

[harriet1996]

Yes

 

[WorkandPlay]

Yes

Oh that'd explain it. Unfortunately Im average for ORM, though I think I have some experiences that might interest Tulane. Wishful thinking I know lol. Good luck with your interview if you havent had it already.

Hi all,

I just realized something when I was checking my MCAT scores...

Did we have to release our MCAT scores on the AMCAS site to tulane...?

Thanks

They will not begin evaluating your application until a score is in.

If your score is available via the MCAT score reporting system, it should be sent to Tulane automatically.

MCAT scores go automatically to AMCAS schools

Anyone heard of someone who got an interview after they were “on hold for possible interview?”

 

[Closed_loop]

Anyone heard of someone who got an interview after they were “on hold for possible interview?”

I did last cycle, I think persistence is key. Email and update away (within reason ofc), what’s the worst that can happen.

 

[BC21019]

Anyone heard of someone who got an interview after they were “on hold for possible interview?”

Last cycle I was put on hold in November and got the II in January. I submitted updates and reemphasized my interest in Tulane every few weeks during the time I was on hold.

 

[mr248]

Just got the R. Complete 7/30

Have any early decision folks heard back yet today?

[Maltko]

tulane med retweeted mike woodson's tweet from 10 AM central congratulating the kids who got in ED but nobody I know who applied ED has heard yet (there's 4 of us). Is it possible they meant to send out the emails this morning but did not?

 

[bmo0509]
