The letter I received from Tulane gave the address of the secondary as: http://www.som.tulane.edu/admissions/applications.pdf

I have had some problems filling it out though. In some areas I can only see the text as I type it and in other areas I cannot see the text when I type it, only after I have selected another text area.

I am rather inexperienced in filling out online secondary applications, any tips.

Hi Michelle 😀

Ok, I have experience, but I must tell you. Tulane's application is kind of quirky...

so you pick the region u wnat to type, and then hit tab and then move to the next secion...this is what is supposed to happen...

What actually happens, is as soon as you finish typing, and when you go to the next secion, the previous texts gets erased!

At first, I was like #%$#%^#% more incompetent #$$$@$# like #$%$#%$ AMCAS

but then with a big deep breath. I then gave it another try, and I finally cracked the secret (no you don't have to type it on a typewriter)....

This is my secret...type the text you want, then after your name for example lets say

Michelle

"hit the space bar two or three times, and then hit tab to go to the next section"

so u type

Michelle (hit space bar) (hit again) (sometimes a third is a charm) (then hit tab)

and WOW texts is kept in its place and stays there 😛

I finished all the sections like that...otherwise, it just disappears.... 😱 ...so go figure?

I think I have more patience now because of AMCAS.....(they have made me a stronger person BS etc etc)

whatever that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger 😀
