Tulane Class of 2017 EA & SCEA applicants

<p>Well, decisions started coming out last year on the 21st for those who submitted them early enough, so I thought I'd make this thread to consolidate some of the conversations. </p>

<p>I still haven't sent in my application yet, but I'm hoping to do so soon. I'll be applying EA and am hoping to get into honors college or a scholarship.</p>

<p>I applied EA too. Question - have you checked Gibson at all? When I try to enter my username and password, I get an error - when I entered my email hoping for a password reminder, it said “this email is not in our records”.</p>

<p>Yet I have applied already…</p>

<ol>
<li>Why is CC posting things in a weird order?</li>
<li>I didn’t send in the App yet, so I don’t know about Gibson, but I’m trying to send it today so I’ll let you know if I get it all done soon.</li>
<li>Did the Tulane Application limit you to listing 3 AP scores? I can’t add anymore than that.</li>
</ol>

<p>Skylimits - someone else I know had this problem. Turned out Tulane had picked up an old email, probably from back when they took the SAT or PSAT. Took a few calls to get it fixed, but eventually it was their admissions rep that got it fixed.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks! Does that mean I should email an admissions rep, or just wait it out for a letter containing the decision?</p>

<p>Assuming you get accepted, you will need access to Gibson anyway. So it is up to you, but seems to me you might as well try to get it fixed now. You can call or e-mail your admissions rep. You can find out who your rep is here: [Tulane</a> Admission: Meet Your Counselor](<a href=“http://admission.tulane.edu/counselors/]Tulane”>http://admission.tulane.edu/counselors/) Their pretty busy, so if you don’t hear in a couple of days, try again.</p>

<p>Or call admissions first so you can tell your AdCom you tried that first</p>

<p>I wonder if order/date of application has anything to do with the order in which we receiving our decisions.</p>

<p>Roughly, yes. But it won’t be exactly “first in, first out”. There are other factors involved including whether a decision on your application is straightforward either way (definitely in or definitely declined), how quickly your particular admissions person acts on your application (while this should be similar for all the counselors, travel schedules vary), how heavy the load is from one region versus another, etc.</p>
