Seems like New Orleans didn't get any mail action but BR did? So maybe Monday?
 
Congrats, you guys! As far as I know, Shreve didn't get any mail action either, but maybe today's the day...

I've heard from a few people that the mail seems to go to BR first and then comes back to NO. Don't know why... But yea that's probably why NO people are later
 
No letter in today's mail. New Orleans, La. (70124)

Man, just had to reschedule my interview from the 10th, and the first available date wasn't until March 14! Thanks to Tulane's policy of refusing to change interview dates
 
Acceptance letter came today! I'm located near New Orleans (Westbank).
Letter postmarked 1/31. Looks like it was mailed from 70810 (Baton Rouge). Odd but that's probably why BR saw letters sooner.

Hang tight, y'all!

Good luck to everyone applying. Just going through this thread brings back anxiety about applying to med school. I graduated from LSU-NO a few years ago and i can say it was one of the best experiences of my life, and along the way made some life long friends. The school and faculty are top notch and will prepare you for whatever goals you have in ur career.

For those accepted by Shreveport and New Orleans, what is the deadline you are given to make a decision? Or even if accepted by just one, what is the response time expected for acceptance/declination?

Shreveport gave an explicit deadline to respond by (which was about 2 weeks from when letter was mailed). At Shreveport, the applicant accepts/declines the offer via email and no deposit was required. For New Orleans, you have 2 weeks from the day the acceptance letter arrives. A $100 deposit is required and the applicant accepts/declines the offer through postal mail. You can accept every offer from every school if you want to... but come May 15th you'll have to choose 1 school and withdraw your application from the rest. Any schools you paid a deposit to will send you a full refund if you withdraw your application before May 15th.

Thanks so much for the information!
 
Does anyone have info on exactly what a NFA means and when the advocacy meeting is? I'm getting conflicting reports.

NFA is no further action ... Basically you are still in the race, neither accepted nor rejected. They go thru all the NFAs thus far at the advocacy meeting this Friday, 2/7. Some people will get officially accepted that date, others rejected and some NFA'ed further. From what I understand (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), you could be accepted from the NFA list at any time.

Yes, that's true. And I've been told and seen on older threads tht most ppl are NFAed before being accepted.
 
Does anyone know when the class is expected to be filled or approximately how many spots are left?

N/m, jokes are not funny.
Humor and neuroticism are mutually exclusive.

If someone is further NFA'ed after the advocacy meeting, do they receive another letter saying that? Basically does every single applicant receive a letter (either accepted, rejected or further NFA)?

You don't receive another letter until you are accepted, rejected, or wait listed. You won't receive another NFA letter.

Per AAMC rules, all medical schools have to offer out all of their spots by March 30th. But from my interview it seems like they offer out most if not all of the spots in the middle of February to March. At least they said in my interview that that's when most people are accepted. And then all of those people have until May 15th to hold more than one spot at different schools. So then after May 15th there is another big wave of acceptances that go out. Hope it helps, but you can go to the AAMC website to get those specific dates if it would help you sleep better :)! Good luck!

Last year I received a NFA letter after every meeting, so I ended up getting like 3 NFA letters then The WL letter at the end of May. It's torture, I know but hang in there!

You received a NFA letter after every advocacy meeting? When is the second advocacy meeting normally held?

Apparently it's the L1 class president who's supposed to make it. If someone knows who he is, maybe they can give him a little prod.

Also, did you apply this cycle? ED? RD?
