Any other ed people not have a backup plan? Submitting primary to other schools if it doesn't work out in the first week of October doesn't seem worth the application fees if its that late in the cycle

Do you have a state school that might look at later applications? I know that many DO programs have later interview dates where you wouldn't be too late. Just a couple of ideas and I hope you hear good news back.
 
Probably not because Texas is super early, I think the post-interview ED acceptance rate is around 50% but that's the risk of being locked until October lol good luck everyone

I do not believe post interview ED acceptance is 50%. That may be for RD. I’ve been told that the majority of ED applicants that get an interview will be offered acceptance barring severe interview issues. There is no official data for ED acceptance post-interview.
 
That's what I remember Mike Woodson saying (20-25) for the EY2020 cycle, but that was before they started limiting ED interviews.
 
I submitted thank you letters for my faculty and student interviewer. Would submitting a letter for my standardized patient also be ideal, or is what I’ve done enough?

Thanks for any advice!

I was told to email it to the admissions email they gave during the interview and I just mentioned all the people I interacted with so they could forward it to them. They don't have an explicit option to upload a thank you letter like other schools (only explicit option is CV/Resume) so I didn't upload it to the portal

Ugh I’m sorry 🙁 when were you complete/under review if you don’t mind me asking?
Couldnt give you the exact date but I submitted my app on the first day/ verified during the first week. Completed the secondary early July I believe. Email they sent said they got 17k applicants this year so I'm not too bummed over it. I should probably state LM: 73 WARS: 77 OOS applicant

These dang low yield schools 😅 it’s still early in the cycle though! I’m sure you’ll have great success elsewhere!

wow, for only like 40 ed iis there must have been an insane number of Ed apps
 
If they had 25 ED spots and 30-40 applicants that’s a very high acceptance rate. Not shocking more people would try to apply as word spread.

Yea this is pretty much exactly what I was told. People heard about how their chances were better (on paper at least) if they applied ED, which made the ED applications skyrocket. But TUSoM still wants to limit ED acceptances to people who have a genuine connection or affiliation with the New Orleans area. Either way, I think they have tried to maintain a high acceptance rate post-interview for ED.

@ fellow ED applicants,

Has anyone gotten an update on when we might receive acceptance decisions? On interview day they said 3-6 weeks with 6 weeks would be approx Oct.1, the deadline they have to tell us by. It looks like previous years' ED applicants heard back on Oct.1.

Obviously we will be waiting however long they make us, but I wanted to know if anyone has updated info.
Thanks!
I would think that decisions might have already been made or if they haven't nobody would know until Oct 1 anyway, I don't think med schools can offer an admission before Oct 1 in general. Based of the shemassien site, but don't quote me too hard on that.
 
ED can hear back anytime before October 1st, which is the deadline for them to get a decision. LSU, for example, has already admitted some ED applicants.

As per the AAMC traffic guidelines.

I actually didn’t know this. In old posts on here, it seemed to me that Tulane doesn’t notify until October 1. Interesting.

AAMC’s Traffic Rules are worth a read as an applicant. That said, they are recommendations so technically schools don’t have to follow them (though it seems they all do). I’m not sure why Tulane waits for the last day to notify ED applicants of their decision, but that seems pretty common.
