Hi,
Potential freshman here. Tulane is my #1 choice for college next year. I applied EA back on November first but still haven’t heard anything. The deadline for notification is on Tuesday. A lot of people have already heard if they got in or not, and I was wondering if at this point in the process if I should be expecting to be deferred. I applied Bio/Cell&Molecular with Pre-Medical. I go to a super difficult college preparatory school in Pennsylvania.
GPA (UW) = 3.67
SAT = 1370/1600 (Didn’t Send)
ACT = 30 [34 R, 31 E, 27 M, 26 S]
AP’s = 6 Total,
Jr. Year [AP Bio (4), AP Gov (5), AP English (4)]
Sr. Year [AP English, AP Computer Science, AP Psychology]
EC’s = 4 Years Varsity Crew, Boy Scouts all my life, Community Service (Over 100 Hours), Forensics, Student Leader of Freshman Retreat, Rector of Kairos Retreat, Pep Band, Concert Band, Service Trip to NOLA, Student Newspaper, Honors = First Honors 4 Years, AP Scholar, Order of the Arrow “Brotherhood” (Boy Scouts), National Latin Exam gold (1x), National Latin Exam Silver (2x), National Spanish Exam Honorable Mention, NHS Inductee.
I don’t know what to expect especially after what’s happened with all those kids who applied ED. I really want to go to Tulane.
What is your weighted GPA?
Not entirely sure since my school doesn’t weight. I’ve put it in online calculators and it’s turned out around 3.91 with all honors and AP included.
I haven’t heard anything as well. I submit on the final day, Nov 15th, 2 hours before the deadline for my local timezone. I’m very worried as well. [-O<
Your ECs are good and I think your ACT is right in there. I can’t remember if Tulane admits by major. If so, your major may be a factor. I don’t think that is the case. I believe you could get deferred but if you continue to show interest I think you will get in RD and be a good fit for Tulane. Don’t give up.
I applied ea too and haven’t heard back either. I applied before november 1st but I guess that doesn’t mean anything. People I know who also applied ea have heard back and gotten in. I don’t think it means we’re all getting deferred but still wish that they’d just send out the emails by tomorrow or something.
I haven’t heard back either!! Applied November 15th… so annoying.
Is anyone still waiting? Because I still haven’t heard anything!! It’s 6pm of the 21st in my time zone, and I haven’t had any messages from Tulane since I got my Gibson portal stuff!
All of the EA decisions have been released! If you haven’t heard back it is most likely because all of your materials were not received in time so your file was not complete in time to be reviewed as EA and has been pushed back to RD. Check with your admission counselor to confirm, but just a reminder the office is closed until the new year.
