<p>jym626--thanks for all the great info</p>
<p>You are welcome! For those of you who have been accepted, I assume there is already a "Tulane class of 2013" facebook group. Thats a great place to ask many of these questions too. I looked back at the Tulane 2012 group to get the dates that the Community service scholarships arrived. I remember the date the DHS arrived because I happened to ck that group and noticed that posters were posting that packages were arriving via Fedex at their doors that day. I called home (it was a holiday so DS was home) to tell him that people were posting that they were receiving packages at their doors. My s grumbled "its a holiday- there is no mail today". I clarified that this was coming via Fedex, not USPS. He still grumbled and went back to sleep (It was noontime!) but ultimately checked the front door. Nice package from Tulane awaited him. :)</p>
<p>OK-- please dont get all weirded out b/c a parent joined the Tulane 2012 facebook group (I wasn't the only one). I rarely looked at it and never posted on it, but it is full of good info, and without it I wouldn't have been able to answer your questions! </p>
<p>BTW, those of you who get the NMF scholarship, if you do choose Tulane and identify it as your first choice school by the deadline (that date I forget-- check the Nat. Merit website- its probably around May 1st) you will get an additional $2k/year. This is in addition to the full tuition scholarship. And, the full tuition scholarships will increase each year with any rise in tuition, so if tuition rises by, say $1000 next year, so will the scholarship! It is sweet! Good luck!!!</p>
