Is anyone planning to apply after doing the Pharmacology SMP at Tulane (or any of the other ones they offer)?

 

[Fancy_Feast]

Note for those who are admitted and then decide not to attend, you will need to request your deposit back, it will not be credited automatically. It was suggested that I warn this year's applicants so that you aren't wondering where your $100 is next June.

Best of Luck on your Applications!

 

[CoffeeFirst]

Is Tulane in-state heavy?

 

[tryingtobeanasiandoc]

Did anyone get the prompt yet for this year?

 

[Positivevibes5]

Anyone else take the CASPer today? Just took it and I feel like a ran a race lol. And the fact that they video you has to be just entertainment for them because I'm sure my facial expressions were priceless lmao.

+1. Haha I could imagine what they see go on during the test.

I was verified 6/1/17 at 10AM and have nothing. I wouldn't worry about it since they send it to everyone.

Prompts?

@gyngyn

I believe those are all the prompts

Not trolling, cuttlefish- no need to be rude

 

[tryingtobeanasiandoc]

For all the "list" questions in the secondary, would it be acceptable to not only list the position/activity, but also provide a short description? Or would they only prefer simple, one word lists?

I apologize. I had no basis for saying that and shouldn't have.

 

[boogiecousins94]

does it look strange to an adcom if I discuss the tropical medicine aspect in the secondary for the "why tulane" secondary but didn't apply to the combined MD/MPH? I think its very cool I just don't think I would be competitive for the combined as I haven't done much PH stuff

Edit: Nevermind I didn't know you can't apply to it unless you get into the SOM already

 

[Icantplayspades]

No worries

I apologize. I had no basis for saying that and shouldn't have.

Is anyone else having trouble saving a photo to their secondary app? I can upload it but when I hit save my picture doesn't come up.
Thanks

 

[hubbsbubbs]

Looks like CASPER is optional? Tulane is the only school I applied to that requires it. So I may opt out..thoughts?

Yes, but did you bequeath your estate to them in your will?

I didn't get one either yet....

I was able to get it to save if I used a downsampled photo (eg 640x480 or whatever, like that). I originally was using a high-res image but I think there might be a pixel limit that's not specified

 

[Desired.Member.Name]

Anybody else unable to click "Section Complete" in the Personal Information section of the secondary?

Same issue for me.. Sent them an email we'll see if they figure it out. Used 3 different browsers on 2 computers to see if it was a comp thing, guess not?

 

[marcopolo411]

Yes, but did you bequeath your estate to them in your will?

My hundred thou in tuition should've done the trick, I reckon

 

[doctor_may]

To take or not to take CASPER?

 

[ADSigMel]

To take or not to take CASPER?

I'm not planning on taking it, unless something or someone convinces me otherwise. Tulane is the only school on my list that takes it.

Do they screen applicants? I was under the impression that all applicants receive a secondary. I haven't gotten one yet, but I'm OOS.

Also, I am sending them the CASPer, but mainly because two other schools required it, so I figured I might as well add Tulane as well.

Submitted the secondary but the letters of recommendation section is still marked as incomplete. I have a committee letter that was submitted to AMCAS and marked as received, and I have double checked that I assigned Tulane to this letter... anyone else having a similar issue?

 

[Manzielf]

Complete email today. Good luck everyone

once you submit and they send you an email for completion confirmation, that should go away. I had the same issue.

"List any leadership positions, in clubs or organizations, you may have held during college" (100 words)

"Please list your hobbies and major non-academic interests" (150 words)

For this, is everyone literally listing or are you guys sort of explaining in paragraph form?

I want to elaborate on some positions but don't want to fatigue them.

Anyone else still not receive their secondary?
