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.

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?)
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”

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

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"

Yes there are
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

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
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?
been under review since 11/15 so 🥲

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

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.

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?

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.

I suspect Tulane simply has too many apps. Like it's a labor hours issue
big mood 🙁 OOS Pre II R today. (under review 10/21, complete 7/30)
