Paul Tulane Award Applicants

Yes the previous award is still there. There is no change to Gibson at all

No notification here. Daughter is too busy to be worried and frankly I am at work as well but considering I will be writing the check for college itā€™s hard not to think about it.

Can the people getting notifications post their state or US region (i.e. Mid-west/South)? This might help to figure out if indeed the packages are being sent out in batches

I got one earlier today and I am from Alabama

I have not received any notification and I am from Georgia

Nothing from the deep south (although my name is quite long, and didnā€™t actually fit when I created a UPS account)

nothing from Florida

@ZBlue17 My presidential scholarship is listed in Gibson. Iā€™m not sure how important stats are since we donā€™t even know if weā€™ve won anything, but since you asked, hereā€™s a quick summary:

1590 SAT
4.0 uw GPA / 1st in class
one very strong EC (several years of state leadership + national awards) plus a few average ones

Best of luck to all of you! Waiting for news really is stressful.

@velmah Wow, those are impressive stats! Best of luck to you and everyone who has gotten a notification, as well as those of us who are still waiting. We will all find out soon!

This is what admissions just told me: ā€œWe will be sending decisions out later this month. We cannot give you much more information, but we encourage you to be patient.ā€ So, not much help there.

Although UPS says I have an incoming package, and yesterday it said that it would arrive today, it hasnā€™t actually even been shipped yet, just the label has been made. So that might mean theyā€™re actually going to send it ā€œlater this month.ā€ The status is Order Processed: Ready for UPS.

@TheSearchIsReal My sonā€™s has been in the same state since early Monday morning. Supposed to arrive today, but still says it hasnā€™t been received by UPS. Just has the shipping info and tracking. Still says today for arrival though, which clearly canā€™t be accurate.

Looks like UPS labels are being generated for each recipient which can be a bit tedious but that they will all be picked up and shipped at the same time. Probably will see continued UPS notifications until actual ship date.

I bet they are going out today ā€“ that fits with the Admissions person I spoke with last week (who was some person of authority b/c everyone was out of office due to on-campus admissions event going on) that said ā€œthey are going out the 15th.ā€ That also makes sense that info is rolling into UPS accounts at different times. Finally, I would venture to say they want the students to get them on Friday before the Presidentā€™s Day weekend. Good luck-this is intense!

@Chromiumite I am from PA
@luckymama64 That would make sense and I hope youā€™re right! Do you know if the status in the UPS portal changes when they actually get shipped? Iā€™m not familiar with the website.

Yes, it will. I do a lot with UPS and it will change . The Presidentā€™s Day scenario makes a lot of sense. Good luck to all
Iā€™ll be curled up in a ball in a fugue state unti Friday

@muzzahlady are you expecting a package?

Hilarious.

Pretty impressive sleuthing by this group. You basically hacked inside Tulane and identified scholarship decisions even before the packages left the admissions office. MyOldest is probably Russianā€¦

Hopefully a post on the admissions blog will clear this up sometime soon.

Anyone from CA get a UPS notice yet? If so, northern or southern CA?

Anyone from NJ/ northeast region get a UPS notice yet? (For PTA)
