What are your general comments?
The school's reputation is wonderful. Everyone seems to live uptown near the Garden District, so safety there is not an issue. However, this school remains toward the bottom of my short list due to the medical campus's exact location in the city and safety concerns.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What was your favorite volunteer experience?
What was the most interesting question?
Very straightforward... very much just a conversation - little actual questioning.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN Feedback, school's website, my primary and secondary
What impressed you positively?
The students and faculty. Everyone seems to love Tulane. The curriculum is fairly innovative, and medical school seems like it is a lot of fun here! The new buildings Tulane has acquired are beautiful, many of the classes will be moving here. There is a really nice student lounge in several of the buildings.
What impressed you negatively?
The location. I didn't feel very safe. The campus is really spread out - a lot of walking, and not much covered area for rainy days. Some of the facilities are much much older - they are moving into a nicer building, should be almost finished by the time the next year's class begins.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I'd only have one faculty and one student interview.
