Yeah that’s good to neutral news. Tulane has been sending out Pre-II holds and Rs
what does a pre interview hold mean? i submitted 7/2 and got my complete and under review email on 7/16, but haven't heard anything, R or II. is this better or worse than being on hold?

Being on hold means you’re not actively being considered for an interview, but they may circle back around later. Tulane explicitly says that no news is good news, so hang in there!

General consensus from SDN in the past is that they’re thought of as Soft Rs but there is always a chance for them to go back and re-review your file

Forums are a place for current applicants to talk about schools and the existing application cycle. When you spam a long message like you have on 5+ forums, it isn't appropriate.
If I'm giving you feedback, you need to increase your GPA. That's going to be a significant hindrance in your application. And I think you know the answer to your other questions, but you appear hesitant. Research is very important for applications. If you have zero research experience, the likelihood of getting into any T30 is close to 0%.
this is horrible advice imo, u sound like a neurotic sdn premed... be kind

It is true about the Cgpa and research combined while being international, they just won’t take someone like that. They asked, they should be able to handle truthful feedback.
