Early Decision/Early Acceptance

EARLY DECISION

Tulane participates in AMCAS' Early Decision Program. Successful applicants to this program do not offer any different profile than the successful applicant during the general admission cycle. Those wishing to participate in the Early Decision Program must complete their application file prior to September 1 and be available for interview between September 14 and September 28. Notification of action on the file will be made as early as possible but no earlier than October 1.

EARLY ACCEPTANCE

Tulane School of Medicine has an Early Acceptance agreement with Tulane University, Loyola University New Orleans, Xavier University of New Orleans, Nicholls State University, and Louisiana College. While the programs vary from school to school, in general outstanding students may apply to a committee at their home institution for early acceptance into Tulane medical school after their sophomore year in college, if they have completed all required course work for medical school. If the undergraduate committee nominates a student for acceptance, that student's application goes before the Admission Committee at Tulane School of Medicine. If the medical school committee accepts the nomination, the student will receive a letter of acceptance into the medical school that will become valid only after the student has completed undergraduate studies. The intent of the program is to free the student from two years of worry about medical school acceptance and allow for more freedom in designing the undergraduate curriculum during the final two years. Students from these schools may obtain more information from their home institution.
