We are all obviously saddened by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, especially upon the city of New Orleans, and I apologise to anyone who's offended by my questions, but I figure I'm not the only one wondering:
I chose Tulane as one of my schools when I sent in my AMCAS on August 15, well before the hurricane. I haven't received a secondary invitation from them either before or after the storm. Tulane is actually one of the schools I really wanted to attend. Does anyone have any information on what their admissions council intends to do as a result of current events? I know from their emergency website that their undergraduate programme will not have a fall semester for this year. However, I assume that by fall of 2006 they intend to have things running again, and I should assume they still need a new class of medical school students. Does anyone have any information?
Also I'm a little scared that the competition will be just a little fiercer this year, since all the people who could have gone to Tulane will have to seek admissions elsewhere. I'm a reapplicant, and the competition just seems to get worse and worse!
