Acceptance

<p>^ Yeah, my Tulane (EA) acceptance came in a thin envelope a few weeks ago.</p>

<p>just curious,</p>

<p>what is the status of tulane? like i know it's all in ruins, but how are they planning to rebuild? And would it even be worth it to go there next year?</p>

<p>my purdue acceptance letter came in a big fat letter that said congratulations on the front... my other acceptances came as thin envelopes and said i would be receiving housing and registration materials later</p>

<p>Tulane, supposedly is opening up for the Spring 2006 semester, so couldn't be that terrible.</p>

<p>thats a mess</p>

<p>i bet they have record low applicant pools for fall 2006</p>

<p>^ Actually, applications went up like 50% in part due to everyone thinking it would be easier to get in, and in part because they flooded everyone with their "Personal App" thing that was free...which is why I applied, easy, fast, free...good, lol...</p>

<p>oh yeah, i got one of those personal apps</p>

<p>but my mom was like, i'm not sending you to school underwater.....haha</p>

<p>^ lol, yeah, the only reason I applied was because they would let me know so early, I mean, I got my acceptance letter like 2-3 weeks ago, before november! That, coupled with free, no essays, and the security that I'm in SOMEWHERE, made it worth it for me, but yeah....I doubt I'll go there, I want to go to Tufts.</p>

<p>sounds appealing, maybe ill finish mine</p>

<p>I stopped when i reached the point where it said essay and EC's were optional</p>

<p>did you include essay or EC's, and if not, what were the "stats" that got you in?</p>

<p>I think it asked for your EC's, and the essay wasn't really an essay, it was like a brief summation of you and your stuff basically. My stats at time of application:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.47 UW/ 4.02W
Rank: 66/550
ACT: 30
Pres of Debate, Vice-Pres of Law Club, Co-Capt. of Mock Trial Team, Treasurer of JETS, various regional awards for debate, community service, etc</p>

<p>seems like you have the same problem as me where you're right off being in thetop ten percent.</p>

<p>although for me I only missed by ONE PERSON</p>

<p>however....on a side note....it looks like you have a good shot at tufts (obviously put more work into that essay than your Tulane one)</p>

<p>Heh, yeah, I did, I applied ED I and did the optional essay, so hopefully.</p>
