Who did people address updates to?

Tulane accepts updates via their portal, that's where I sent mine anyway

But did you write it in a letter format? And say Dear....

I said “Dear Admissions Committee…”

Here is a guide for writing update letters: How do I write X letter? LOI, update, thank you, withdrawal, correction, status

 

[deleted1109225]

Do you get an email notification saying that you are under review? Or is it something you just check?

I never got an email that I was under review, is this before or after the interview?

Yes it was in letter format. I didn't put my address because I was not fond of including personal info that they already had, but I did include my AMCAS ID and addressed it as "Dear Tulane University School of Medicine Admissions Committee," and you NEVER want to say "To whom it may concern"

Dear Tulane University School of Medicine Admissions Committee,

Sincerely,

What happened to October 15th 😭

 

[pre-doo-med]

Do you think it matters if an update is over a page? My update is about 1.5 pages.

 

[BotanistOncResSur]

The school of medicine hosting a birthday breakfast party while we wait for admission decisions (that we were expecting to have last week) is so on par for New Orleans……. And honestly I’m praying that I get the A even more now 😂

[BotanistOncResSur]

I think we’ll have a better idea by the end of tomorrow. We interviewed the same week and none of us have heard anything.

 

[harriet1996]

same

Not me about to spiral lmao
This process is brutal

 

[Chromiumite]

It's chill I interviewed the literal first day, 9/3, and I haven't heard anything. They don't review chronologically. Lets just be patient

 

[stanleytucciofmedicine]

I'm not sure if this is a logical question to ask, but does Tulane applicants typically can expect a decision ~1-2 months after interview here or more common for around March? TYIA!

 

[BC21019]

I’ve seen in previous threads that there’s usually a groupme for accepted students. Anyone know if that’s the case this year?

Based on what I've heard from admitted students this year, there isn't a groupme yet. I don't think the SOM has anything official.

 

[Lolaaa]

completed 8/12. still not under review

Forgot to post but I interviewed 9/9 and got AR on 10/15

sorry but what does AR mean?

 

[Unconditionalloves]

sorry but what does AR mean?

I think that's Acceptance Range

This is from their site :

Committee Action

Typically within 3-5 weeks after the interview, the application goes before the full Admission Committee for evaluation. The Committee may decide to accept an applicant, place the applicant on a "acceptance range" wait list or reject an applicant. No mathematical formula are used in making this decision and no specific guidelines are given to committee members to place particular weight upon MCAT's, GPA, or other parts of the completed application.
Acceptances are offered weekly, beginning October 1 and continuing until the class is filled. Each week, the Committee may elect to send offers of acceptance to applicants from the "acceptance range" list or to send offers of admissions only to applicants whose files have been reviewed that week.

Nope. Interviewed 9/23. Haven't heard a thing. I'm expecting something this week or next.
