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, however the applicant is only eligible to apply to TUSOM. You must apply for Early Decision through AMCAS. You will only be able to submit your application to Tulane University School of Medicine. The deadline for submitting your application to AMCAS is August 1. All ED applicants will be notified of their interview decision on August 1. If an ED applicant is not selected for an interview, their application will automatically revert to a regular application allowing them to begin the application to other medical schools. They will still remain in TUSOM's application pool and may be considered for a possible interview. Interviewed ED applicants will be notified of acceptance on October 1.
Early Assurance
The Tulane Creative Scholars Program is a unique program that Tulane Undergraduate students are able to apply to medical school when they are sophomores. You will be interviewed by a panel at the medical school. If accepted you must apply Early Assurance when applying to AMCAS. The idea is to free undergrad students of the stress of applying to medical school. TUSOM seeks academically outstanding students for the program.
