<p>Yeah the facebook group is good. I bet by May it will be way more lively, up until the first day of classes. </p>
<p>Popofsenior, I had similar stats but slightly higher standardized test score. I did get substantial merit aid. I know FC is truly a Tulane expert, but definitely give it a shot with additional merit aid. Good luck!</p>
<p>hope you’re right hugo. She’s taken 14 honors classes, along with 4 APs. Would have been surprised to get over $20,000, but was hoping for the $20,000 and expecting maybe $8,000. Disappointed with nothing.</p>
<p>Mavitale: same with my DS and the FB group. I even blamed vitrac for it, telling him that vitrac suggested it. Sometimes it works when the suggestion doesn’t come from me. Not this time.</p>
<p>It’s true that girls are more likely to join a Fb group than boys. As for your s taking advice from me, LINY, yeah, nice try!</p>
<p>I joined the facebook page and love it!</p>
<p>My S just got admitted. How can we find out what his merit award is? There is a website he can go to that says he is in, but when I click on the financial aid links, there are just computer errors.</p>
<p>Xwords- you will receive a letter via snail mail in 7-10 days with your son’s acceptance and any merit award. Congrats!</p>
<p>They don’t activate the FA section until spring semester sometime. As Vitrac says, merit awards (and Honors Program invitations) are in the paper letter only.</p>
<p>I was accepted on dec. 7. Received my letter today.</p>
<p>Flyboy2tf…and???</p>
<p>Do you think it would be worth it for me to apply for the DHS? I was accepted to the university, but I did not receive any merit scholarships.
ACT: 29
UW GPA: 3.5
Almost all courses were honors, and 4 were APs.
Many extra curriculars and leadership positions, (a lot having to do with community service).
A few examples: 2-year Captain and 3-year Choreographer for my dance company, Volunteer Sunday School Teacher all 4 years, Freshman Mentor, Dance Marathon Morale Captain, Relay For Life team captain, etc.
I have an awesome idea for the box prompt, but I don’t know if my scores will outright eliminate me from the process?</p>
<p>I would probably never discourage someone from applying for a scholarship, although I’ve not applied for scholarships myself because of the same line of thinking. I would say it is kind of late to start a project if you haven’t already since the deadline is coming up in less than a week. I would apply anyway if you have an awesome idea, and you don’t know if your scores will eliminate you until the scholarships are given! You really have nothing to lose. I say go for it.</p>
<p>Accepted! (saw it via Gibson)</p>
<p>ACT 34
GPA 4.0
Honors and AP classes, strong in the humanities, math and physics.
Love, love, LOVE theater and music, and Tulane has great productions and programs.</p>
<p>I’m hoping for merit money so that I’ll be able to enroll for the Fall.</p>
<p>Congrats! I’m sure you will get a very nice merit aid offer.</p>
<p>mongo460 - Unless there is something we cannot see, I am sure you will get a very nice letter from Tulane. You should try for the full tuition awards, DHS and Paul Tulane.</p>
<p>samsch3 - I can only tell you that your stats are significantly below those of the usual winners. Typically DHS winners have ACT scores of 33-36 or SAT scores of 2250-2400, and they rank in the top 5% of their class at least, more usually in the top 3%. Typically that translates into a 3.8+ UW GPA with lots of AP courses, if the school offers them. I’ll just leave it at that.</p>
<p>mongo460 - Incredibly stats! I hope you get enough merit aid, so Ill see you next fall!</p>
<p>Finally heard back - ACCEPTED!
GPA - 3.6 UW, 1950 SAT, honors & 5 AP classes, 450+ hours of community service, many EC’s.</p>
<p>Congrats, fakebrain! At least that proves it isn’t all deferrals at this stage.</p>
<p>Thank you FC! I was afraid that at this late in the game I would be deferred, but I checked Gibson this morning and was accepted. I’m excited to receive my letter in the mail soon.</p>
<p>Fake brain what did ur Gibson say before being accepted</p>
