Hello! I applied to Tulane EA, but I really would’ve rather applied ED. However, I couldn’t apply ED due to financial reasons (the financial aid received, if accepted, determines if I am able to attend Tulane). I know that Tulane is a big reach school for me, so chancing me would be really beneficial. I’ve also applied to Loyno, and was accepted. Thank you in advance!
