Hey my mistake on that, I was under review 10/26

Got it, that makes more sense! No worries thanks

does tulane offer merit scholarships?

does tulane offer merit scholarships?

It looks like they do, and they definitely need based scholarships.
PSA since we're all independents, Tulane says they don't look at your FAFSA to determine need-based scholarships, but instead they look at parent's income and you can add that in FAFSA sometime around May when the addendum becomes available.

anyone interview in mid-november and haven't heard back yet?

Interviewed 11/19, nothing yet. Not surprising, Tulane moves slow.

Do you know how it works if you're 25+ and independent from your parents? My parents do well financially but do not plan on supporting me in any way while I'm in medical school. The only money I have in savings is from what little I've saved from my low-paying job lol. Do you think I'd still be considered in terms of my parents' income?

not sure about tulane, but i know many schools consider your parents income for need based aid regardless until you reach a certain age (around 32 ish?)

Pre-II Hold 1/21
Under review 10/23
OOS, complete 8/11

I got the pre-II hold. My status shows "Under Review". Does this mean soft R ?

That’s so weird, I got the hold but mine still says “Application ready”

 

[underdawg434]

Application complete in July, under review August 20 and nothing since LOL

 

[Hurricanado]

Yep - can take 2+ months just to get an "under review" from Tulane. After that, applicants often linger in "under review purgatory" forever.

Same for me as well.

 

[seaweedbrain]

OOS A just now!
interviewed 11/19

heard back exactly 69 days later 🤔😳

 

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

I've been on hold since 10/26. Are they even still doing interviews?

 

[drred00]

I've been on hold since 10/26. Are they even still doing interviews?

when i scheduled mine, they had interview dates into february posted. their website says II's go out through feb and "If you do not receive an invite by the first week of March, our slots are full and you will receive a rejection letter"

 

[drdolittlee]

Any other 11/19 interviewees not heard back yet?

I interviewed 11/19 and have not heard back yet

Yes there are

 

[yoomi]

Pre-II R, no hold, complete 8/16, under review 10/30 ;(

 

[redblanket18]

Did anyone get a second "hold" email? Got my earlier one in November.

I received two within days of each other (10/23 & 10/25)

gotcha, it must be automated or something

 

[Sinjin750]

Been under review since October 12th I don’t understand

 

[Hurricanado]

Been under review since October 12th I don’t understand

Yep, it's very strange to leave people lingering for months. I wish more schools would just cut bait or fish at some point and be a little kinder even if it's an R.

"No news is good news," nah man, no news is STRESSFUL

 

[heyyall]

submitted secondary on 9/18 but just got "under review" on 1/21 😴

 

[queenk93]

Submitted 9/2 and got the under review 1/7. Nothing since then though. Did people who got interviews get them soon after the under review email?

 

[minion101]

I looked through my emails and I sent two. One in August and another in September. Both were updates to my application with continued interested sprinkled in but nothing since then.

First off, congrats!! I just wanted to ask you if for your updates did you submit them to the portal or did you email them to the dean of admissions?

took me about 2 and a half months to get II after under review email

 

[charbelmar]

For people who have been on a pre-II hold for months, how are we feeling? I am losing hope atp

I was told to treat it like a soft R 😕but I just got put on hold recently so maybe different for the folks who entered the pool earlier? fingers crossed for yall!!!

I really do think it's a soft R... doesn't seem like many people get off a hold

 

[Calypsoo]

Imma hop on this trend too, lol I've been under review since 11/08 and I was complete since 08/23😢

 

[otis31]

Pre-II R OOS, under review nov 11 [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]/[emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]. I literally just submitted an update letter a few days ago 🫠

 

[unfazediwnl]

any accepted students get the fin aid form yet?

 

[GratefulTN]

any accepted students get the fin aid form yet?

I think you have to fill out FAFSA and then under your Gibson account there is an addendum you can fill out and give details why you are asking for aid.

 

[giantlion10]

anyone who interviewed mid/late november yet to receive a decision?

 

[Sosayitditto]

Pre-II R just now. Submitted late July / under review mid October (never on hold).

 

[LivedDevil]

Been a ghost on this thread for a while but wanted to congratulate everyone getting in! I interviewed as an OOS Applicant August 20th and got accepted October 15th! LM 68.2. Is there a groupme for accepted students?

how did you make the gibson account? can i pm

 

[deleted1209043]

Hi. I got a “secondary under review” email in mid October & submitted secondary end of July. If I haven’t heard back from them by now is it safe to assume it’s a R?

 

[brainfart123]

Hold just now

 

[deleted1209043]

OOS Pre-II hold, basically expecting this to turn into a R as the interview cycle is ending very soon. LM 65, submitted end of July.

 

[barklesthewonderdog]

First off, congrats!! I just wanted to ask you if for your updates did you submit them to the portal or did you email them to the dean of admissions?

Thanks! The first was an email and the second I uploaded to the portal.

 

[unfazediwnl]

if theres any current students at Tulane SOM lurking in this thread, how has your experience been?

 

[prettyplease12345]

has anyone else not heard anything since submitting in july? not even a pre-II hold..

 

[catalyst1000]

I suspect Tulane simply has too many apps. Like it's a labor hours issue

Pre II R - under review 11/08 and complete 08/23

Absolutely crushed ... I was holding on to the "no news is good news" saying.
