<p>After being deferred Tulane has accepted me yay!
Also one question.
I recently finished my Fafsa and my EFC is like 1731
Will Tulane meet full-need?</p>
<p>Tulane is reported to meet 95% of need, which is actually pretty good. However, remember that they are a profile school, so they go by their own institutional methodology in determining need. For example, if your parents have equity in their home that will be considered. Also, if your parents are divorced, FAFSA only takes into account the custodial parent’s income while the profile looks at both.</p>
<p>Based on our experience, they expected a contribution of about 5% of the equity in our home in addition to our FAFSA EFC, then gapped us about 5%. My son’s package also included a $2500 work study and loans (but he was accepted before their new “no loan policy” for incomes under $75,000) </p>
<p>All things considered, we were happy with our package. However, we had always assumed that we would tap into our home equity when our children went to college, so we were not shocked by the numbers.</p>
<p>Wow! Congratulations!! </p>
<p>As a fellow deferred student, do you mind me asking for some details? When/how did you find out? What are your stats? Did you do anything in particular to maybe increase your standing in the eyes of the adcoms. </p>
<p>As far as aid, I’ve heard that full need is met when the total family income is under 70k/year. </p>
<p>Again, congrats. I hope to be joining you next year.</p>
<p>Congratulations! Can you post the rest of your stats for those who also have been deferred?</p>
<p>Hey, what’s up here? From your posts it looks like you were a senior in 2008/2009 and ended up going to Wake Forest. Did you take over this account from someone else or did you take a year off?</p>
<p>Anyway, note that Tulane wants the CSS profile in addition to FAFSA.
Congrats!</p>
<p>He took over his brother’s ID. He and I already went through this, lol.</p>
<p>If Fallenchemist and AVHS Dad were drafted by the CIA, Osama Bin Laden would’ve been captured by now.</p>
<p>LOL. I am not even sure what that means, but I like it.</p>
<p>Captured or dead!
(8^D</p>
<p>It means efficient, thorough, intelligent, knowledgeable…all the good stuff when you need a job done.</p>
<p>OK, now I am officially blushing.</p>
<p>I guess it is crunch time now. Mardi Gras in a couple of weeks, DHS announcements right after, and then the March Madness, and I don’t mean basketball. I mean kids going crazy waiting to hear from the rest of their schools and for some people, still waiting on Tulane. In 60 days it will pretty much all be over except for some agonizing decisions in some cases. Man I am glad to have that over with.</p>
<p>Congratulations Tobias!</p>
<p>I’m happy if I can be considered FC’s bumbling apprentice!</p>
<p>Oh Good Lord! LOL.</p>
<p>I think I did forget in all this to tell Tobias congrats. So… CONGRATS!!</p>
<p>Sorry, to hijack the thread, but I’ve been having problems with the PM tool. Fallenchemist, I just sent you a message. I hope you received it. :)</p>
<p>acme for Tulane University my stats were not top-notch
when i applied EA I had like a 3.52 W and then when I sent them my first semester grades it was like a 3.62W.
I think I was accepted because I showed Tulane that I could handle college level work getting a 4.2 W GPA with 5 AP classes cause I remeber when I had recieved that deferral letter the words that stuck out were “we need to see more evidence of your academic performance” and I just blew it out of the water last semester.</p>
<p>it’s funny actually. like all my regular classes I got B’s and then all my AP classes I got A’s. Anyways if I can get in with a 3.3 UW and 3.6 W then Tulane is more than talk about opening up opprotunities for those kids who were late-bloomers like me.</p>
<p>i hope this kind of helped and message me if you need more info or whatever</p>
<p>summarized my stats are:
3.3 UW
3.6 W
30 ACT score</p>
<p>sorry about all the typos. haha.</p>
<p>That kind of improvement isn’t easy when many around you have senioritis.
Good work!</p>
