2019 Tulane EA/SCEA Decision Thread

<p>Hey, all. I'm so excited to hear that people are beginning to receive admissions decisions, and I can't wait for my own to be revealed on Gibson! I'm checking obsessively! But since they seem to be rolling in, I figured it would be useful to make a thread for all the decisions so people like me who haven't heard back yet can try gauge what to expect. </p>

<p>Please post your decisions here using this template! Thanks so much!</p>

<p>[ b][ color=green]Decision: Accepted[/color=green]
[ color=yellow]Decision: Waitlisted[/color=yellow]
[ color=red]Decision: Rejected[/color=red]**</p>

<p>[ b]School/major:**</p>

<p>[ b]Objective:**

[li]General Comments/Advice/Hindsight:[/li][/list]</p>

<p>I just got admitted and want to fill this out but not sure how to use the template. Guidance so I can help?</p>

<p>You fill in all the info, but you also have to take out the spaces after the bracket, such as [ b becomes [b and [ color becomes [color. You have to add the close bracket in each case. You also erase parts that don’t apply to you, such as the parts that include decisions you didn’t get.</p>

<p>So when I take the first part</p>

<p>[ b][ color=green]Decision: Accepted[/color=green]
[ color=yellow]Decision: Waitlisted[/color=yellow]
[ color=red]Decision: Rejected[/color=red]**</p>

<p>and take out the first spaces, then erasing everything from [ color=yellow] through the bracket after “red”, I get:</p>

<p>[color=green]Decision: Accepted[/color=green]</p>

<p>So I am going to erase the “easier” version since that won’t be formatted at all.</p>

<p>That list is crazy- as you can see, no one has responded. I will keep it simple.</p>

<p>I think my big hook was that I am American, but I am an international student studying in Finland, and I am doing the full IB diploma with a predicted 43. Also, I think my essays were good. Good luck to everyone! </p>

<p>@senior20151 I applied in the middle of september, everything was in by the first week of october and then they didn’t start releasing decisions until last week so that’s when I got mine</p>

<p>@zebrarunner‌ nope, i’m not planning on majoring in dance as of now</p>

<p>Has anyone from the MD/VA/DC area heard yet?</p>

<p>@CeSquared‌ I’m in Maryland and I haven’t heard anything. Our admissions rep just did a reception in Baltimore on the 28th of Oct. which, I assume, means that she just recently got back to Tulane so she probably hasn’t had too much time to review apps from our area yet! That doesn’t mean I’m not checking obsessively though, haha</p>
