<p>My son’s had that status for what seems like forever.</p>
<p>Thanks, crowe2003, for your kind words. By dawn’s early light I’m guessing you’re right about it being a ■■■■■ but I’m thinking the Admissions Office ought to know. He’s been accepted already to four excellent colleges, including a couple with a tidy amount of merit aid. But… You know! I too believe things happen for a reason, it’s sometimes hard when you’re in the thick of things to really know that at the time. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>As Tulane alums I totally get how you feel, BTMell. And maybe it will still work out with Tulane. But isn’t great to know that he has those four excellent choices already? Still, I love the idea of these multiple Tulane generations, so I am still hoping Tulane comes through for you (him).</p>
<p>Thanks, Fallen - we love Tulane and lived in New Orleans for several years after. You know “the longer you stay, the longer you stay?” Tulane is an amazing place and New Orleans is magical. He loved it when he toured. Hopefully there’s room for at least one more?</p>
<p>I do wonder how accommodations are at Tulane for the deaf/hard of hearing. My son is deaf (he listens and speaks beautifully thanks to bilateral cochlear implants). He doesn’t need a lot by way of helps. We’ve found most places to be more than willing to dig in and help out.</p>
<p>I don’t know specifics about hearing impaired students, but I have heard excellent reports from students with disabilities of various kinds that Tulane has been very supportive in making whatever accommodations and providing whatever support they can. Especially given that the Tulane campus and New Orleans in general are not the most wheelchair-friendly places you can find. Yes, it’s flat as a pancake, but the city (not the campus) has tons of buckled sidewalks, and the campus buildings are nearly impossible to retrofit for wheelchair access. But from reports I have received they make it work.</p>
<p>He’s been so used to being the only deaf kid in his class and often in his school (our older son is also deaf with bilateral cochlear implants) so is used to trailblazing as long as the other party is willing to help. That’s the big thing.</p>
<p>Audiology in New Orleans is actually better than fabulous. LSU (oh! I mentioned purple) is known nationally for its audiology department which is at LSU medical center in New Orleans. So we know audiology won’t be a problem if it’s needed.</p>
<p>I did hear back from my son’s admissions counselor - what a fast reply! She said they are still going through files to make the best decisions possible and there still are admission spots available for qualified and competitive candidates. Who knows if my son will be considered either but at least there’s a chance! So yes ^^^ is definitely a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>It seems like it’s an extremely competitive class all the way around everywhere. I read where one of the LACS, who really pushes ED, had 30% more applicants this year. I work at a college myself and know that’s the case here. Even though we’re down somewhat numbers-wise, it’s still the second largest group applying. Tough year!</p>
<p>Lack of trolls = priceless. Thank you for talking me off the ledge!</p>
<p>btmell…wish you best of luck…things seem to work out if you really want it bad enough… Look at cheer007., maybe admin officers read the cc blogs and can figure out who is who and if you want it bad enough and have the basic stats,you make it.</p>
<p>@BTMell Thanks for the update!! I applied RD and my decision is still pending…the wait is agonizing and I want to go to TU so bad!. Thinking of you and I hope we hear back soon. :)</p>
<p>@ Jaccrazzi - good luck to you too! I haven’t checked the last two days. My son’s in Nicaragua and asked me not to. Which is really hard! He has one other notification that’s waiting for him and one notification in the morning. Luckily, we pick him up tomorrow evening. I’m not sure I can wait longer!</p>
<p>Yes, it is very similar if not identical to the post he did last year (I did not bother to compare them). Which says that the number of remaining admittances, while no doubt few in number as one would expect at this stage, is not zero. Daisy’s result demonstrates that, so the poster with the “uncle”, if not a ■■■■■, was at least misinformed.</p>
<p>Congrats daisy, and our fingers are crossed for you and your son, BT.</p>
