2022-2023 Tulane

[Wachsmann]

I thought they just interviewed all their ED applicants

I was informed that due to the high number of ED applicants, they have limited the amount they interview.

Members don't see this ad.

 

[Wachsmann]

He’s the admissions director. Very nice guy.

Oh is he the guy who answers questions during med school panels? Yeah he seems nice.

 

[Numpostrophe]

I was informed that due to the high number of ED applicants, they have limited the amount they interview.

That makes sense, I know it was a problem for them in 2020.

And yeah, Mike Woodson is probably the guy you saw on a panel.

This is the MSAR data for Tulane. Anyone know if the EA/ED categories are matriculated students or just total applicants?

It's not matriculated for sure because I know they don't even interview that many ED applicants.

Any stats on this? My understanding was that they interviewed them all as recently as 2020, but it was overwhelming that cycle.

I was told that they interview max 40 (iirc) ED applicants now.

 

[Numpostrophe]

Good to know. Thank you.

 

[crispr504]

Anyone get interviews for RD?

Nobody has gotten IIs yet and ED will receive those first.

There are a lot more RD applicants than ED.

I got an app complete email earlier this month stating that my app is under review and I have CASPER done but not DUET. Will they still look at my app for review?

Yes, it's only recommended and not required. Duet does not take very long to finish though.

For the question on how someone would describe me, any advice for how to not make it sound like I'm bragging about myself??

I think unfortunately it's pretty difficult. You don't wanna say bad things about yourself lol. I talked about resilience

For the question on how someone would describe me, any advice for how to not make it sound like I'm bragging about myself??

I actually asked the person I wrote about (my girlfriend) what she would say. I kind of adapted from there and went more for "charming" than "she thinks I'm an empathetic genius destined to cure the world of disease," if that helps.

 

[Numpostrophe]

I also directly asked a friend with some guidance to avoid anything cringey.

What the hell is Tulane doing man. August 1st is Monday already.

What do you mean?

 

[Wachsmann]

What do you mean?

Well I was told that they'll let ED applicants know if they haven't been invited to interviews by August 1st. But I haven't seen anyone report receiving II yet.

 

[timu1996]

I was told “by August” so maybe not necessarily August 1st?

 

[Wachsmann]

Iirc I was specifically told August 1st. Though maybe they're running behind this year.

How could that be the case if the ED deadline for secondary is September 1?

 

[timu1996]

I think they start letting people who have already submitted everything know in August, but you can still submit secondaries up till September 1st...tho it’s possible that the ED interview spots might get taken up before then? Idk... :/ *worried*

 

[Wachsmann]

How could that be the case if the ED deadline for secondary is September 1?

This is med schools we're talking about here. Deadlines don't mean anything.

 

[DOctorCAL1]

waiting for secondary.

 

[Needstogetlifetogether]

Did the people who go under review already have their Casper and Duet submitted?

 

[mslv20]

Did the people who go under review already have their Casper and Duet submitted?

Nope

Under Review Today, Completed 7/20

 

[dideperfect123]

Is it a bad sign I’m not under review yet, OOS submitted 7/15?

 

[Wachsmann]

Were things this slow last cycle for this school and other schools? I completed here 7/4 and went under review on 7/22.

I checked last year and by now they have given out some ED IIs. Haven't heard of any this cycle yet. They're probably behind.

 

[Incrediblesn]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If this continues for another week or two, send them an email.
