<p>I guess we’ll see how that FA package goes… It’s really my only hope. I know I’ll get something but I don’t know if it will be enough.</p>
<p>I did get into Barrett, which was my backup plan…
I even started looking at other schools with bowling teams but they just don’t compare.</p>
<p>Many many moons ago I was deferred with a 3.43, a 2000 and decent ECs. Ohh well… Georgia State wants to give me a scholarship annnnd a spot in their honors college, so that’s cool Tulane. ;P</p>
<p>Elkiresses - probably many more moons ago than you are talking about I worked with a guy that graduated from Georgia State. He has had a very successful career. Best of luck there. Personally I love Atlanta, I did some grad work and taught at Ga. Tech for a few years.</p>
<p>Bowler, I have been doing some research on financial aid and EFC (expected family contribution). You may find this link usefull : [2012-2013</a> EFC Quick Reference](<a href=“http://www.stratagee.com/resources/efc_quick_reference/1213_efc_quick_reference.html]2012-2013”>http://www.stratagee.com/resources/efc_quick_reference/1213_efc_quick_reference.html).
You know that we are all rooting for you to go to Tulane Bowler. I really hope that it works out for you…</p>
<p>Thank you all very much. The coach said she already has 2 4-year (even though I thought they were only guaranteed for 1 year) scholarships in place and so can only provide partial scholarships (even though I thought each school was allowed to give 5 full scholarships). So I guess I’m just confused as to why it is so limited. Tulane is an expensive school…</p>
<p>I will check out that link, Jozuko.</p>
<p>Yeah, hang in there Bowler! Too soon to say with any certainty, right!? I am also hoping for FA for my son and several outside scholarships before throwing in the towel! ;)</p>

<p>Financials–congrats!!</p>
<p>Congrats! </p>
<p>I started searching for other schools with bowling teams just to keep my options open and I found that the university of Alabama at Birmingham has a fairly new team and it looks like a more affordable option for me. Tulane is sill my first choice but I wanted to look elsewhere just in case</p>
<p>That is smart, Bowler. Obviously really hoping Tulane works out, but you have to have options.</p>
<p>Yeah I just wish I thought about it sooner… Ah well. Good luck to everyone and hopefully Tulane works out for those who want to go!</p>

<p>Rejected. Although they made the right decision, only filled out the application because it was a freebie. My heart was not Tulane bound, glad they gave the spot to someone who wanted it more. Congratulations to all those Accepted! You deserve it!</p>
