<p>I hope this is related. I am not experienced with this. Honestly, I don’t know. Anyway, here is a question that puzzles me. If your parent is an alumni to the school which accepted you, did your parent call the admissions office to express strong desire that you would be accepted? Would alumni parent calling help, hurt or makes no difference?</p>
<p>has anyone gotten in today or yesterday? you would think today would be a big day for those remaining !</p>
<p>fromaparent,
I would think a personal note might possibly be helpful, so that it (a) stays in your child’s file and (b) a phonecall doesn’t distract the adcomms at a crazy time and might not get the positive benefit you’d like. It hink it woudl be easier to write soemthing about your child’s zeal for the school in a note than call and try to convey that message.
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Fallenchemist,
You mentioned Honors Weekend…is that for accepted students, to go see campus?</p>
<p>fromaparent - Usually there are places on the admission form to indicate if there is a family tie to the school, be it parents or siblings as the main ones. It is no secret that donations go up on a per person basis the more involved the family is with a school. So while there should be no need to call, if you think that was missed somehow it can’t hurt to bring it to their attention, exactly as jym says. It can be a factor.</p>
<p>collegesgirl - There are accepted student functions for Honors or non-Honors students. It is called Destination Tulane. The Honors weekend function is the same kind of thing but for Honors invitees only. Did I answer your question?</p>
<p>I’m so nervous! Supposedly we have a decision by tuesday. Hopefully that’s true.</p>

i teach karate, play in the wind symphony and jazz band, play squash and baseball, lead the spanish speaking club, lead the tutoring club, organize pong tournaments for charity.</p>
<p>Do you need anymore stats?</p>
<p>Do you think they are working over the weekend? Or are all of us still waiting have bad news coming on Tuesday? It seems like if we are still waiting either deferral or denial is coming come Tuesday as they must be done reviewing early applicants by Monday night. They probably post the bulk of the deferrals and denials on the 15th as they want to get the good news out first… Just sitting here praying…</p>
