<p>Can someone explain Tulane’s RD notification process? DS applied RD back in November and thought he would hear back by now. Is it a rolling process, or do the bulk of the applicants not get notified closer to April 1?</p>
<p>There is no hard and fast rule. Tulane only promises to notify by the traditional deadlines, yet they tend to do it like a rolling process. What does his Gibson page say? If it says the app is complete, then you can only wait. Check that out and make sure nothing is missing.</p>
<p>Oh, so I was admitted with the 20k scholarship over a month ago, but I got an invitation to the honors program today. Does that usually happen? I thought honors invitees were notified with their acceptance letter.</p>
<p>It is unusual. Did you make an appeal to get into the program?</p>
<p>freakozoid-
There is no “electronic engineering” (nor electrical engineering) major at Tulane. Currently only Chemical and Biomedical</p>
<p>Nope, just got another letter. That would be a sick, sick joke</p>
<p>FallenChemist, DS’s Gibson page says “complete.” Will he get an email notifying him of a decision, or does he just have to keep checking Gibson? Thanks…</p>
<p>He has to keep checking Gibson, and if he forgets to do that the snail mail letter will show up.</p>
<p>Shermani - well, that’s great. They must have looked at your stats again. Congrats.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Thank you! It’s astounding how much merit aid Tulane gives, it’s definitely working</p>
<p>Oops, I forgot to change that. I copied my stuff from another thread so that slipped by me… probably chemical instead.</p>

<p>Georgetown deferred you?? Really? They must be nuts. Congrats on your acceptance at Tulane. Personally I don’t think your class rank is a weakness. When you are in such a small class in an obviously very high achieving school, it is a different kind of assessment rather than pure percentage. Did you apply for the DHS at Tulane?</p>
<p>does the time you get your decision depend on when you applied? If you applied in january versus november would you get your decision later?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. There are other factors involved, like if you are borderline or not. Might depend on other things we mere mortals are simply not aware of.</p>

<p>I applied mid December after being deferred by both Hopkins and Georgetown. My application however was not complete until about the second week of January due to a mistake by my counselor. When should i expect to hear back? I really want to go to Tulane. I got accepted into UNC-Chapel Hill, do i have a good chance of getting into Tulane?</p>
<p>if you applied EA the probably 3-4 weeks from the day everything was submitted.</p>
