@fallenchemist I’m truly confused as to why anyone would find pleasure in that. Anyways, there was certainly a batch of acceptances in Early March. I was accepted March 6th (apparently), but did not receive any e-mail or notification until a week later, which is when I really found out. For what it’s worth, I applied RD at a very early juncture.
My point is, there were definitely acceptances.
@4kids4colleges Hey, your daughter applied to more schools than my son!!! Of course, I am voting for Skidmore as well, but that is a reach for him because of his GPA. Incredibly bright kid that tests well, and has SAT scores at the top end for Skidmore, but zeros on homework assignments did quite a bit of damage to his gpa. He was accepted premed at Amherst which will have research opportunities and he can take classes at Amherst, Smith and Mount Holyoke if he wants. Rollins is warm and he will have smaller classes and the probable chance for more faculty interaction. We only did local visits. We did not visit Rollins but looks like a resort to me lol… Why did your daughter rule it out?
Also, Tulane had sent me e-mails… “The earlier you apply, the earlier your decision.”
@4kids4colleges
That’s actually a pretty nice list, and FWIW I am extremely impressed with Centre. I know a few graduates from there and got to know the school a bit because I lived in Louisville for about 7 years. Not saying those other schools aren’t good too, of course, just that I was continually impressed with how Centre does things and the students that graduated from there. But of those other schools you mention, I have probably heard more good things about Skidmore than the others. The students that have gone there seem to really like it.

Ooops, I see now I didn’t phrase what I meant very clearly. Yes, of course there have been many RD acceptances. I meant to say I don’t know if there have been many in this batch going out now. I am sure there are some, but the fact that no one seems to be posting they got one might indicate there weren’t too many at the end here. But who knows for sure, outside of admissions themselves.
@Canigoback, I think my D just had too many on her list! FL seems very far to us here in CO. That’s really the only reason why she did not apply to Rollins.
We did a lot of visits in the South, and in the Pacific Northwest - she loved the south, did not love the PNW.
Personally I am a huge fan of small for UG - Skidmore and Rollins sound just perfect! Good luck.
@4kids4colleges That’s my fear with U mass Amherst- it’s awfully big. Tulane is perfect size oh well 
So your daughter didn’t apply to Bryn Mawr? That’s an awesome school. However, being in the Northeast it’s the one I hear of often. Some of the southern schools you mentioned I don’t know very much about. What is her first choice at the moment?
@fallenchemist, I too am extremely impressed with Centre. If that school was plopped down in the middle of the Northeast, it would rocket into the top 10-20 LACs, no question. Really fantastic school, with a very strong, dynamic, and committed President, and with guaranteed study abroad at no extra cost (just a plane ticket), it is our first choice for D. Also, about half the cost of Tulane with merit aid! 
Thank you for all your helpful and thoughtful posts. Before D applied I saw many of your posts and we hopefully heeded your excellent advice! (All except for visiting Tulane, we just could not fit it in). Thanks again.
@fallenchemist Ahhhhh, gotcha! Btw, thank you for being the most responsive and helpful user on CC! You made my Tulane admissions process a helluva lot easier.
@Canigoback, top choices are Centre, Denison, Southwestern U. Centre is truly a hidden gem. If you compare all of its stats with the top LACs, it is right up there - 4 yr grad rate of 87%, high SATs/ACTs, etc.
I’m saving Bryn Mawr for my youngest (4th) child, currently 8 years old! This is a long, long road for us!
Anyway, sorry to hijack the Tulane thread. Good luck everyone!
@4kids4colleges and @mullaneyj6
Thanks for the kind words, it really helps to hear that every now and then. Especially this week, :-/
As far as where Centre is located, I think I would love being out there with all the horse farms. It is gorgeous country. I used to take the old 4 lane highway instead of I-64 when going the 65 miles from Louisville to Lexington just to see everything better, especially in the spring when the foals were being born. And hiking in the Appalachians is not at all far and can be a lot of fun. But I agree with you that Centre would get a lot more attention and praise if it were in that Northeast corridor. Maybe it is just as well that it is not.
Well said @fallenchemist. Maybe good thing no one knows about Centre! It is really beautiful country out there. And, grad schools certainly know about Centre, so no worries there!
Thanks again, I know you have helped so many here!
@4kids4colleges I had never even heard of it as I am in the Northeast, but it sounds lovely.
@fallenchemist Thank you very much for all of your input, and being present for those of us who were not admitted.
lmao waitlisted. 3.8uw/4.2 weighted. 2250 sat. good ecs, solid essays, great recs. lol ok tulane.
@vivalastool12
Where have you been accepted so far? Where are you likely to go?
@canigoback One of my co-workers worked at Rollins before she came here and she can not say enough good things about it. She uses it as a measuring standard for programs and initiatives we try to implement. Fantastic reputation and she speaks very highly of the faculty and student population. And as noted, the campus is just beyond beautiful!
@dolphnlvr6 Thank you for the Rollins info. I am just concerned about it being such a small school, and concerned that his other choices are too big. I think he will have more research opportunities at the bigger schools, and as he wants neuroscience or premed, I think the bigger schools might be the way to go. It’s unfortunate but there’s not a lot of college confidential messaging for Rollins. I’m going to need to dig deeper. My son was pretty bummed still this morning. I have certainly learned a lot from this process, and will be better able to help my other son (now a freshman). I am just wondering if the oldest had applied sooner and demonstrated a lot more interest whether he would have gotten in. I understand from reading the threads that your son attends Tulane, and that you work for a university. Any chance you work in an admissions department and can shed some further light. It appears from Naviance that Tulane does not accept many kids from his high school even though it is highly rated. I’m wondering if they are considered together with other counties in Connecticut or whether Tulane looks at applications individually or by state.
Tulane is adamant that they don’t limit the number of acceptances from a high school, and I have seen this is true. There are a couple of high schools in Chicago, for example, where I have seen as many as 25 acceptances, maybe it was even 30. I think the most students from one high school I have seen attend Tulane in the same year was about 12. I am sure these kind of numbers are replicated at some other schools in the Northeast, and maybe elsewhere. I am less sure if Tulane would purposely limit the number of acceptances from an entire state or a region. I think not, but I know they do like that they have great geographic diversity. But I think that happens more naturally, at least since I have known the school. So I don’t think they have to manipulate, so to speak, the acceptance numbers in that regard. It is possible they are favoring men at the moment, as I said on the other thread. Nationally there is a fairly serious imbalance of women attending college over men (in the range of 56-44%, maybe even more lopsided). Now I don’t know they are doing that, it might even be illegal although clearly single gender schools are allowed so I don’t know what the law would say about that. But if it is OK to do, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is happening. But not, I don’t think, by state or region. At least not to any great degree, if at all.
@fallenchemist It was my son who didn’t get in. I had looked at the college data sets for Tulane and already knew that they admitted more women than men, although less men apply so the percentage of acceptances is slightly better. I didn’t mean to suggest Tulane is doing anything wrong at all… I was just wondering how they review the applications, and whether kids in my son’s school are being considered at the same time as kids at other highly ranked public schools in my area.
I have no idea how the admissions process works, I work in Career Services. My son was the first from his high school to ever apply to Tulane. Another girl in his graduating class applied and was not accepted. He applied SCEA, she applied RD. I have no idea if that made any difference. I know Tulane was his first choice since 8th grade and he had been showing interest in them for a long time. We visited the campus many times (we vacation in NOLA every year) and was in steady contact with his admission rep. His stats weren’t the highest but he has really done outstanding since he’s been there.
