<p>Hey guys, I just woke up at night, opened my email and Tulane sent me some financial aid attached files for me to fill in. As I opened my email, I got a pleasant surprise. Here it is:</p>

<p>Dear Admitted Student,</p>
<pre><code>I want to congratulate you on your admission to Tulane University. You are an excellent student and we would love to have you as a Tulane student.
I am writing you today concerning financial aid for international students. If you were not awarded a merit scholarship, you can still apply for need based financial aid. Tulane can award up to $18,000 a year to international students who demonstrate a financial need. If you wish to apply for Tulane financial aid, we need two things

<p>Alright, so I got 2 questions:
1/ does that mean Im in. There is not my name there, so I dont really know! could be some server produced things? </p>
<p>2/ when does the merit aid decision come out? Thank you very much guys!</p>
<p>1) Yes you are admitted, unless as you say there was a massive error (unlikely). But you should be able to check your Gibson account. If you don’t have the password info, you can go to the “lost password” link and they will send it to you. That should have your current status and therefore you can confirm.</p>
<p>2) See the other thread where you posted.</p>
<p>Actually, I did! Really excited now. Thanks fallenchemist!</p>
<p>You’re welcome. That’s great you are so excited. Where are you from? And would you pick Tulane over NYU? Just curious.</p>
<p>Sounds like you are in. Congrats!</p>
<p>Good load! We have two chemists now.</p>
<p>Yes, but going in opposite directions apparently!</p>
<p>i got denied from Stern because of my “dont-know-how-to” essays and missing transcripts. But im quite bumped for Tulane! Anyway, you guys know when will they send out acceptance letters? Thanks</p>
<p>Not sure for international. They usually go out quite quickly, but in your case may take some time to get there. If you don’t have it in a couple of weeks, send admissions an e-mail and ask them.</p>
<p>P.S. You should change your location on your profile, then. LOL. I am curious where you are from, if you don’t mind sharing.</p>
<p>im from a southeast asian country. 
the rest is secret. yep, i got a 20K merit aid. Really really happy.really looking forward to joining the tulane family this year!</p>
<p>That’s fantastic! Congratulations and welcome to Tulane. And yeah, SE Asian is good enough, lol. I was just wondering what general part of the world.</p>
