<p>3.1 GPA (Prestigious Prep School) 1410(2080) SAT</p>
<p>Accepted online today</p>
<p>I'm an international student who applied to Tulane University as Early Action.
When will I receive the acceptance/rejection letter? Since I don't have Social Security Number, I cannot check the result online.</p>
<p>3.9GPA 1850 on the SATS
Accepted online today</p>
<p>Yah, they've always been generous with the merit aid (even pre Katrina) but they are so DAMN smart with these "personal no-brainer applications" and then you get hit with all this cash!!!! It makes a kid who wasn't really thinking Tulane (I had it on the short List) and go hmmmmmm. It's funny William & Mary is your other choice...quite the antithesis. I think W&M students were voted in US News (those funny polls) "most likely to be seen in the library on a Friday night" If I don't get into my ED school I'm gonna go visit. Congratulations everyone</p>
<p>24 k/year scholarship....</p>
<p>34 ACT, 4.1 weighted GPA/top 15% or so, nothing special EC's....</p>
<p>Price is still a bit high, so unlikely I will attend.</p>
<p>I just got my letter today, my online acceptance was about 3 weeks ago. </p>
<p>ACT 30, 3.95 UW GPA, class rank 3/529, lots of ECs and some leadership</p>
<p>24 k/ year with invite to Honors.<br>
Tulane is my 3rd choice, but the price still is a bit steep especially because I already have an acceptance with almost a full ride somewhere else.</p>
<p>Woot - just got the note of winning the presidential today (I am in a similar boat as THEJay, I'd venture to guess).</p>
<p>As for breaking myself down into numbers, here you are:
SAT 2180:
Writing - 710
Reading - 720
Math - 750
ACT: 32
GPA:
UW - 3.593 (perhaps a record low for this forum....)
W(4.3) - 3.929</p>
<p>I transferred to a residential public gifted high school my junior year, and my grades managed to shoot up though my workload tripled, so understand the GPA # is somewhat misleading. </p>
<p>Honors/AP classes, 3 freshman, 4 sophomore, 10 junior, 6 (to be 11) senior (all the classes at my school are honors or AP, which is why those #'s are so high).</p>
<p>Extra-curriculars all over the place: 2.5 seasons of swim team, 1 track and field, 1 year Venture crew, 1 year peer tutoring, 1 yr horseback riding, 2 yrs Indian dance (I'm white, if it makes a difference), Biomechanics research project at a state university, 4 years rollerblading, 4 years drawing (+some awards), 4 years clarinet (+some awards)</p>
<p>I'm a girl going into physics, which I suspect may have been a component of this, though who knows. </p>
<p>Honestly, though, I wonder if Tulane is still worth $16,000 out of my pocket, my god that's a load of money. I'm going to call and see tomorrow if I could apply for the Dean's and reject the Presidential if I win a full-ride, however unlikely. Good luck everyone! There's a chance I'll see you next September!</p>
<p>If you get the dean's, which anyone can apply for (so yes try and go for it), you get a full ride and dont have to worry about canceling anything.</p>
<p>how long did it take to everyone to get their letters? Its been over three weeks since the online acceptance =/ and i live one state away and still dont have it.</p>
<p>Re "Full Ride"</p>
<p>The Dean's is full tuition. Wouldn't the student still be responsible for room and board, fees, etc.? </p>
<p>This year, it breaks down as follows:</p>
<p>Tuition
$33,500</p>
<p>Academic Support Fee
$2,200</p>
<p>Health Center Fee
$490</p>
<p>Student Activity Fee
$180</p>
<p>Recreation Center Fee
$240</p>
<p>Room is ~ $5100 - $5900/year, and the freshman board plan is ~$3400 - $4000/year.</p>
<p>Yes, DHS covers tuition... Room and Board are an additional expense that you still have to cover if you get full tuition award.</p>

<p>Thanks hovermom. What about the fees? Does the DHS cover them?</p>
<p>No, the DHS does not cover fees.</p>
<p>3.7 GPA UW, 2110 SAT, Top 5% of class</p>
<p>Accepted, but still waiting for the letter on financial info and such. Been about two weeks since I found out online =(. Originally I had no interest in Tulane - and admittedly it is still not high on my list - but you have to be impressed with their marketing. Very enticing.</p>
<p>I found out online, no letter yet. Nice to be in at a pretty decent school by early December. Doubt I'm going here unless they really, really shower me with cash AND I don't get into UCLA. Nothing against the place, but the only reason I applied was because the application was free and it's a pretty decent school, as I said.</p>
<p>3.35UW/3.5W (major upward trend, though), mid-2100s.</p>
<p>After being deferred, I just got accepted today =]
