<p>Hi everyone. I'm a recent Tulane admit and am very excited to (hopefully) attend. I found out from Gibson the other day, though I have not yet received a letter. However, I have one question. I applied as a Finance major, so does this mean that I am "directly admitted" into Freeman? Or is admission to the business school another process once you are already a student? </p>
<p>If you don't understand: For example, I'm admitted to Ohio State as a Finance major, but I'm not actually "in" Fisher college of business at OSU - I will have to apply after I get to OSU. On the other hand, the University of Miami (FL) has admitted me directly to their business college.</p>
<p>I looked for an answer to this question both on the Tulane website and the college confidential forums via the search feature. Couldn't find anything.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your help!!</p>
<p>We understand, it has been addressed in past years on here. This is one of the things that makes Tulane really great, you are admitted to the “umbrella” Newcomb-Tulane College, and therefore automatically to all the schools under that umbrella except the School of Architecture. So you can major in anything in the schools of Business (Freeman), Science and Engineering, Liberal Arts, and/or Public Health and Tropical Medicine. In fact, Architecture used to be in that category as well. This is the first year it has a second step for admission.</p>
<p>This is also what makes it so easy to switch majors and/or double major at Tulane. So congrats on your admission, and you can just relax now and go right into the business school and the Finance major. Just be sure to get a business major advisor when you register for classes. They will steer you into the right courses, including a TIDES course that is required for business majors.</p>
<p>FC, thank you so much for your thoughtful response. That completely answered my question. I very much appreciate it!!</p>
<p>My pleasure. Have a great career at Tulane. The business school is doing so many great things these days, it is hard to keep up with it all. Very exciting stuff, and most of it geared towards really preparing students for landing a good job and having a great professional career after they graduate. But there is also a more academic track for those that think they might want to go in that direction. But from what I see, most of it is ideal for those interested in entrepreneurship, accounting, finance, etc. in the “real” world.</p>
