<p>Has anyone received an e-mail for you to confirm your enrollment decision:
YES - I plan to enroll in Tulane
UNDECIDED - I'm not too sure I will enroll at Tulane
NO - I will not enroll at Tulane</p>
<p>If it is anything like last year, you will get those email from time-to-time, until you accept or decline admission.</p>
<p>My D got that e-mail about a month or so ago. Of course, she said undecided since she is ,at this point, until the April 1st decisions come out.</p>
<p>My son did not answer those emails. He waited until his decision was final after April 1st and sent in his deposit. I think it's just a way to touch base with students, and hopefully start getting a picture of how the freshman class is shaping up.</p>
<p>yeah, i received that email yesterday, but i dont think i'll respond to it until my college decision situation clears up a bit.</p>
<p>I think the school probably uses the response ti guesstimate what the yield will be. Among other things housing is a little tight on campus and if preliminary indications are that yield will be high then they have to lock more space for freshman which means more upperclassmen go on waiting list for housing. There are also issues with faculty hiring, advising and basically eveything else the school does.</p>
<p>The school has a pretty good idea of what the yield will be but every now and then they get a surprise. If it goes up there could be a lot of logistics problems and if it goes down the hunt could be on for more transfer students or kids from the wait list. Also these "early" decisions can affect the financial aid budget.</p>
<p>Concerneddad- I see what you mean about them resending the e-mail from time to time...I just got another one... I noticed that some people posted that they wouldn't respond until april 1. Do you think this can affect Tulane's decision at all (in a negative way), or even if you decide to send 'undecided'?</p>
<p>No. my son finally made up his mind on April 29th last year. He was torn between several very good options, and just kept marking undecided. I would urge you to do the same: wait until you are certain of which college you want to attend, and keep marking undecided until you know which school is right for you.</p>
<p>To put it in persepctive, my son was a DHS awardee last year and there were NO ramifications for him waiting until the very end to decide.</p>
