I don’t see a thread for this yet, so I am creating one. D was accepted EA and applied for both DHS and PT. The wait for an answer is rough!
Same here - mine wants it SO bad!
My DS applied. I realize that it is an extreme long shot. He will not be attending Tulane with the merit he is currently offered. The gap is simply not closeable otherwise. Acceptance and the Founders Award merit was the easier part of this whole thing. He would love to go to Tulane, but it will all come down to money. I am guessing that is the reason for many of the 75% who decline their acceptance to go elsewhere. This is why he did EA and not ED.
I want to know so bad if I got DHS. I got into GA Tech, so I’m waiting to hear about DHS before committing $30k a year in merit aid is still not enough.
…if anyone from Tulane Admissions is looking, we would LOVE any nugget of information. The DHS portal currently says "The scholarship committee will make a decision by ___. Can anyone fill in the blank? We’re all losing sleep over this…
Historically they are sent out mid-February.
I have called them and they said end of February-beginning of March. Such a hard wait
I read on another thread that people posted they were emailed regarding Paul Tulane Awards on 1/29/18 while DHS and Stamps finalists were notified at the end of February/beginning of March. My daughter applied for Paul Tulane and just curious if we’ll find out next week or not until end of February.
Interesting if decisions are being pushed to Mid March. I would take the comment to mean that the DHS is still mid February, but the interviews for the Stamps/Paul Tulane would have to occur and those decisions would come out later.
Just called again and they confirmed that this year Paul Tulane and DHS will be released at the same time at the end of February.
@Irdl1234 thank you! I was really hoping it might be sooner, but it helps to know for sure. I swear it feels like January 74th…nothing we can do but keep waiting. Sigh.
I feel the same wait feel the same way. Was really going it might be as it was last year
Not exactly sure how my message got so messed up. What I meant to say was that I feel the same way and was really hoping they would announce PT as they did last year a punt this time. I guess we continue waiting. It’s long shot for my Daughter I realize.
I’ve talked to an admissions counselor, and both PTA and DHS winners will be notified by February 15.
@waggy567 thank you!!!
@Irdl1234 ^^
@waggy567 thank you
People on the groupme said that decisions for the DHS are starting to come out.
Yes, my daughter got an email that she did not get Paul Tulane. No mention of dHS. She had an increase of her merit by 1k
Congrats to the winners! I’m not upset I didn’t get it, but I’m a bit irked that they offered a 1k increase in my merit award. My merit award is already quite sizable, and for the work I put into my PTA essays, 1k more a year is…
