Scholarship Udates

<p>If anyone received a scholarship from Tulane post here with the amount, scores and GPA, and whether or not you are accepting the offer.</p>

<p>OK.....18,000K/29ACT/3.7- YES (unless i get into Brown or JHU, which is probably not hapenning) what does everyone else thing about this offer?????- i think its unbelieveable...all things considered though</p>

<p>i just wonder if alot of people gave up their offers and that's how this money trickled down to me......so post- i want to see what's going on</p>

<p>The 18,000 was the full financial aid or the academic merit aid?</p>

<p>merit only...don't qualify for finaid...crazy right???</p>

<p>18k as well (founders)... 1410 3.1 UW/3.5 W (gpa sounds low, but the admissions rep who visited said they evaluate my hs gpa differently than most other schools)... most likely attending (probs getting rejected to wake/william and mary/usc) unless rhodes gives better offer</p>

<p>18K as well (founders)....1370 4.5W.<br>
If I don't get into any Ivies (not much hope there) I'll visit again and then decide.</p>

<p>i'm visiting this saturday- i'm really excited. i'm probably going......you guys might get scholarship upgrades if you hold on long enough</p>

<p>22K per year for dsa... 2080 SAT 31 ACT 3.698 unweighted gpa</p>

<p>18K/yr, 1260 SAT (shoosh!) 30 ACT, 3.95 UW GPA (my HS doesn't really weight), Deans List @ Kent State University as HS Senior... but Tulane didn't really know that I don't think... </p>

<p>Haven't accepted yet, I will probably need more aid to be able to go. I was WL at Northwestern and Rejected at UPenn and Kenyon College (I don't know how THAT happened, it was kind of a safety IMO)... so I have to choose between Wabash, Kent, and Tulane. Tulane is my top choice, but it's also the most expensive of the three, so I dunno.</p>

<p>This is just a guess, but there <em>may</em> be some movement in scholarships nationwide in the next 2-3 weeks. Harvard announced just this week that they were offering $0 tuition fee packages to families with incomes up to $60k (up from $45k), and expanded aid to family incomes of $60k-$80k. This may trigger some similar adjusting in some of the private Harvard-wannabes. If it does, there will be students accepting at both Harvard and those wannabes who thought last week that they couldn't afford it -- chain reaction. Total speculation here, but some who now have Tulane DHS and DSA offers, especially, may end up going elsewhere.</p>

<p>Today I recieved an email from Tulane in response this survey I did online for accepted students and it had some info on housing and scholarships.This was in it:</p>

<p>Our records indicate that you have been
awarded the Founder’s Award, one of our top merit-based scholarships.</p>

<p>I've never recieved an email or letter about this; is it a mistake or did I get an award recently trickled down to me?</p>

<p>I would certainly call them, Vicky. There may be someone in the FinAid office today. Good luck!</p>

<p>Ugh, I already tried, no one is there. I'm so impatient</p>

<p>founders scholarship (18 K) 1320/ 3.6 gpa I'm waiting for Emory</p>

<p>I have been reading this thread and didn't respond for awhile. When my financial aid package came in my "scholarship" was $3000. Now I can tell you that my stats mirror the ones above. SAT 2080 and GPA 4.1. I had glowing recs and President of all kinds of things and lots of consistent community service, tons of awards in and out of school. -- blah blah. Nothing bad at all that could bite me. Other schools gave me 3 times more and honors programs. Add on the fact that my Mom is an alum!!!!!!!!!! Only hook is that I am a U.S. citizen living abroad. So I feel that you can safely say that the international status must have gotten in my way. Made my decison easier but still ****es me off. Parents usually have that follow in their alma mater thing but cured my Mom real quick this award!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>maybe you haven't gotten the letter yet, im in NY and i got it yesterday, if you're living abroad maybe you'll get it next week</p>

<p>JB,</p>

<p>I got an original scholarship letter a couple of weeks ago with the $3000 offer. So I don't know why they would send me out another with more $$. I can't figure it out when there aren't any gremlins in my past but well maybe it is just Tulane in transition. I am assuming you only got 1 letter with your scholarship info. Or was this a special notification of just the Founders award?</p>

<p>My DD received the DSA ($22 K per year). 31 ACT, GPA 3.8/4.34, Rank 11/400+, 7 APs and all honors classes, summer college courses, lots of awards, leadership and ECs - All State french horn, College Orchestra, piano 11 years, marching band section leader, jazz and wind ensembles first chair, works at animal hospital, journalist for teen publication, etc....</p>

<p>Although Tulane would be a wonderful school, she has decided to attend another university and has therefore declined the scholarship. Hopefully, the funds will go to someone else waiting for $$ to attend Tulane. Good luck, everybody!</p>

<p>froshtobe- in the letter it says that if you get a bigger scholarship after the founders it replaces it, so the message i got was this is for founders but i have a chance of getting more money later in the month</p>
