<p>We are waiting as well…</p>
<p>There have been people who have received the PTA but i don’t know if it’s just because they aren’t reporting it as often but it seems like there haven’t been as many as those who have gotten DHS</p>
<p>Where did people say they got the PTA?</p>
<p>I have not seen any yet but I don’t see the accepted student Facebook page. There was nothing I could find on the Tulane Parents Facebook page.</p>
<p>There is an accepted student page called tulane university class of 2018.
Do they usually put it on the parent page? I am not sure what to think because according to the intern office and Jeff, everyone will be notified by the end of this week, yet I haven’t heard anyone say they’ve gotten the PT. </p>
<p>@DejaLytle I saw one person post a picture of her PTA on instagram on Monday I think, but that’s the only one I’ve seen so far. </p>
<p>D got her DHS award on Tuesday!. So excited for her! The letter was very personized and talked directly about her project. Apparently there were more than 1000 applicants for the DHS. Looks like we’ll be making a trip to New Orleans since d hasn’t visited Tulane yet. I’ve never been to NOLA, so I’m more than happy to take her!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone waiting to hear about the PTA!</p>
<p>@LauraJean12 - I cannot find that in Instagram but I am probably doing it wrong. Still, it seems more likely she was holding a DHS and not a PTA. Possible?</p>
<p>How would the Paul Tulane Award winner get notified, by UPS, or regular post mail?</p>
<p>The mystifying saga of PTA continues:</p>
<p>My friend called today, and she was told that they would be in the mail “within the week”. </p>
<p>@fallenchemist if you search “#PaulTulaneAward” on instagram it should be the only picture to come up!</p>
<p>I was wondering if the applicants would get an email notification about the decision. We got a word that we should hear about the PTA decision tomorrow (02/28). Since there is no UPS delivery alert so we assume that my son did not win the award, otherwise how would he know it tomorrow unless he gets email notification. From what I read it sounded that the non-winners will get the email notes. </p>
<p>My daughter just got an email notifying her that she didn’t not get the PTA award. She tried and she does have a nice merit scholarship offer of $22k per year! Good luck everybody! </p>
<p>@LauraJean12 - Found it, thanks. It looks just like the DHS and on my phone it is too small to read the letter so I will have to take Avery’s word that it really is a PTA. The PTA is rolling notification, at least that is what is said on the web page. Last year it didn’t seem so rolling but more like two waves. </p>
<p>@hbaoer - I wish I could say Tulane was always that efficient and that consistent so that you could count on that logic, for better or worse. But alas…</p>
<p>Someone asked about how PTA winners are notified. Same as DHS, UPS Express packages. </p>
<p>hbaoer, I hope you are wrong and you receive good news tomorrow. How did you “receive word”? Was it an email or did you call? We have had no word and I just checked and no UPS delivery alert. I know logically that they had a ton of applications to review and these things take time. I suspect non-winner will be notified via email. Was your son already admitted? My D was deferred. </p>
<p>newjersey17, sorry to hear about your daughter’s PTA application. Still, $22K per year is a very nice merit award. </p>
<p>My son was just notified that he did not get the Paul Tulane scholarship. He was admitted EA into the Honors program and previously received a 30k Presidential scholarship so we were a little surprised. </p>
<p>Yes, Tulane sent us an email telling her she was not awarded the PTA. The email arrived today at 4 pm. It was a very nice and personal email. </p>
<p>Sorry… She was accepted in EA round. </p>
<p>Hmmm, no package, no email, no UPS delivery notification here. We’re west coast, so perhaps have to wait a bit longer.</p>
