<p>I've heard that when you apply EA Tulane replies very quickly with an answer. Is this true, and also if you just apply regular decision, but send in the application in like October, do they also quickly reply with an answer?</p>
<p>Hmm, a most peculiar question (that implies that you are applying ED to a school that proscribes concurrent EA apps … or that you’re not not all that interested in Tulane and want to make the school your “rolling admissions” safety).</p>
<p>Whatever. Call Tulane admissions and ask them if they can get you an answer by whatever date you want the response. According to the Web Site, they are accepting applications now:</p>
<p>[Tulane</a> Admission: Apply Now](<a href=“http://admission.tulane.edu/apply/index.php]Tulane”>http://admission.tulane.edu/apply/index.php)</p>
<p>Actually, it’s because my high school, for some reason, doesn’t allow people to apply EA or rolling to places (I have no idea why). Also, I do not think I will apply ED anywhere. I was just wondering.</p>
<p>Unless your HS refuses to release official transcripts until January 2010, this shouldn’t be a problem. Just use the Tulane online application (referenced above).</p>
<p>If your HS is as obstructionist as you say, you’ll probably have to enlist the assistance of the Tulane Admissions Office. They’re nice people, really. Call them.</p>
<p>Has anyone else every heard of a high school that actually refuses to cooperate with students that want to apply EA or rolling admissions? Especially the latter sounds bizarre, since so many state schools have rolling admissions. Also, since a lot of schools take EA and ED as a sign of true interest and acceptance/rejection decisions could hinge on this judgement by an admissions officer, I cannot imagine how a high school could justify such a policy. So before I get all indignant about this (lol), is this common, or at least not just this one school? I just have never heard of such a policy, and frankly I rather doubt it is legal, even if the school is private. It would be a lawsuit waiting to happen for a kid that got turned down by a school that they might have gotten into had they been allowed to apply earlier.</p>

<p>Just “imagine”…some GC’s are just morons, unfortunately. Heck, our “Head” GC didn’t even know that UC had changed admission requirements three years earlier until I told him.</p>
<p>OK, I found out my schools policy on EA and rolling: you are not technically not allowed to apply early action or rolling, but it is highly frowned upon and discouraged. (I think this is because people would apply EA to a place and if they got in, they would just apply to crazy reach schools).
I don’t want to annoy my schools guidance councilors since they write recommendations, so I am just not going to try EA or rolling anywhere.</p>
<p>Well, do what you think is best, of course. But it sounds like you have some very lazy GC’s.</p>
<p>“(… they would just apply to crazy reach schools).”</p>
<p>Well sure … what would be the point of applying to more lowly schools? I have to agree with the posters who suggest your school has some pretty lazy GCs.</p>
