Anyone hear back from OLOLC Tulane yet?

Published

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has heard back from ololc. I applied in January for the Tulane program. I called and have spoken with three people both in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and nobody knew when the interview letters would be mailed out! They couldn't even tell me the exact date of when the program would start. They could only say it is sometime in mid july. I check the mail every day and stay hopeful but the waiting is killing me.:uhoh3: Does anyone have a clue about what is going on?

P.S. I heard there were 1500 applicants! Can anyone confirm this?

Geezum, 1500! I have a classmate who said that the school was still negotiating with the hospital to do clinicals there. I applied to EJ and was told last week by admissions that the committee had not yet met and that interview letters would most likely being going out in June. It's kind of frustrating but I think the program is fairly new, so maybe they are still working out the kinks. When I asked admissions how many had applied to EJ, I was told over 100.

I am not sure how true that number actually is (1500). I applied to EJ as well. Hopefully we will all hear back soon. Good luck!

Thanks! Same to you. I'm sure we will all keep each other posted. Anybody know which shots/cpr classes we should be getting out of the way?

I spoke to OLOL the other day and they did say the Tulane apps should know by now... Do did you receive anything yet?

I got a letter May 12 and I did get in! They didn't conduct any interviews.

However, the letter did state that they were unsure of Tulane's participation

in the tuition waiver and stipend. All tuition and fees are due by the first business

day before classes start. So now it is a scramble for loans and funding. But I am so thrilled to get in.

I received my letter several weeks ago and got in! From what I understand class starts July 27th and tuition is due July 10th. I'm in the same boat, need to get funding for my tuition, books, etc. Meet you guys soon!

Oh, my grades were barely over a 3.0 in my undergrad...3.14 if I'm not mistaken. Might have helped that I've completed my first year of graduate school too. Hope that helps.

Im also in the same boat. I received my letter around the same time as you. I just finished the packet they sent me in regards to fingerprinting, health packet, etc. I just have to get my CPR class in there. Im really excited about the program.
