As of 5/2, I never heard a final decision from this school. I think it is because I did not pursue it any further and they could see I had several other acceptances. They accept only a small percentage right away after interview and everyone else I think they wait to see how it pans out.
A quick summary of the school: 1) Medium - 130 in last year's M1 class 2) Lecture based learning
Summary of Experience:
SR 7/1, SS 7/1, II 9/8, IA 1/7, R 3/16
Weird, this felt like my best interview. I think they were just overloaded with applicants and interviewees this year. The dean who spoke to us kept saying, "Wow there are a lot of you. Man we're interviewing a lot of people this year." So, eh, no hard feelings.
A quick summary of the school: 1) Small - 80 in last years M1 class 2) Research focused 3) Problem-based, small group learning
Summary of Experience:
SR 6/27, SS 6/30, SC 7/2, II 8/19, IA 9/19, A 10/17
A quick summary of the school: 1) Large - 212 in last year's M1 class 2) Community focused - Tulane takes huge pride in its service to New Orleans 3) Lecture based learning - class is optional 4) The happiest of happy students
Summary of Experience:
SR 7/1, SS (within a couple days), SC 7/9, Small pooled 8/6, II 8/26, IA 9/5, A 10/29
A quick summary of the school: 1) Large - 190 in last year's M1 class 2) Lecture based learning
I wasn't very impressed with this school and its history of getting on and off LCME probation. Just lacked some sparkle and seemed a little behind the times.
Summary of Experience:
SR 7/13, SS 7/22, SC 7/22, II 9/2, IA 10/10, 10/16
A quick summary of the school: 1) Small - 64 in last year's M1 class 2) Community focused - huge emphasis on serving the city of Camden 3) Problem-based, small group learning
I LOVED THIS SCHOOL! I will be matriculating here in the fall!
