<p>How many merit scholarships left in the RD round?</p>
<p>It looks like so many EA people already got a lot of merit money, so how many merit scholarships left in the RD round? </p>
<p>In the RD round, is it still " first come, first service" ? the early you submit Appl, the sooner you know the decision and also have a bigger chance to get merit scholarship (if anything left)?</p>
<p>No idea how much money is left in the pool of funds, but I know last year lots of RD applicants got merit offers comparable to EA applicants. As far as moving up in the queue, it can’t hurt. Although at this point it probably won’t make much difference. Admissions doesn’t return to work until January 3, and the deadline is January 15. I suspect the main factors at this point are the strength of your application and how convinced Tulane becomes that you really want to attend.</p>
