What impressed you positively?

Incredible comaraderie and friendliness of both students and faculty. Loyalty of Tulane students to their school. Also, generosity (not to mention facilities) of Baylor University!

What impressed you negatively?

Not much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My car battery was in need of replacement. Also, the interview is totally closed; interviewers will know as much as applicants tell them.

What are your general comments?

Tulane has a tradition of first greeting applicants with students. Thus, a couple of very informative and enthusiastic MS2 (aka T2 at Tulane) students spent the first thirty minutes of the day talking with us. Next, the assistant dean for admissions spent time getting to know us and talked candidly about Tulane, the med school's future, and about the strengths of the school. Interviews were conducted by two faculty members--one educator and one clinician--and a MS 1 student. These interviews do not seem like interviews at all really, and the focus of the time is to get to know the applicants on a personal level. There are intervals of thirty minutes of down time between the interviews. The interview with the student takes place over lunch and then applicants are free to go.
