Is the gibson thing then the way to check? Or is the ‘Applicant’ tab just going to be gradually rolled out?
Mine wasn’t working yesterday but now it is, maybe Tulane caught on?
Did this happen last year? If so, then didn’t they realize this would happen again? Did they fix the problem last year?
Now, the “Applicant” tab in Gibson that appeared this morning is gone as well.
i’m rly buggin now!!! i wanted to get in so bad:(
How did they not think intellectual applicants would discover this on their portal? I think Tulane’s Undergraduate Admissions way of doing things is very disreputable for their university. I mean, come on, in 2016 they released unofficial decisions to ED applicants (many were not even accepted). How disheartening it must have been to those who received word that they were not accepted to Tulane – that it was simply a glitch by Tulane Technology Services.
My portal has showed the EDII gateway and has never been inactive. So if I am deferred/rejected, I know it is meant for a reason. With the amount of demonstrated interest I showed – campus visits, meeting with my AO, attending information sessions – time spent with my supps, and other things I can honestly say I tried my best to get into my dream school. I wish all of you the best luck!
Like the famous saying goes… “When one door closes, another door opens.”
@successful92 i feel you. I demonstrated so much interest emailing my AO, going to a Tulane coffee chat, writing an amazing and unique supplement. My SAT scores were the only thing counting against me so I guess that’s why I probably didn’t get in (after all this is all just a technological glitch). I know if i’m deferred i’m probably not going to get in as their RD admission rate is very low. Time to move on I guess.
wait! I am so confused about this button controversy!! Why are you feeling like you didnt get in when they havent even posted the ea decisions yet?
My ED2 button has been active and my Gibson portal did not have an applicant tab, which is most likely indicative of an acceptance.
if that makes sense.
I think their “holistic review” they claim to have while reading applications is quite deceptive…
All we can do now is wait @bleedorangebaby
sorry i’m confused where is the applicant tab located/what is the “gibson” portal vs. the normal one ?
@plue11 The Gibson portal is used to access your financial aid for Tulane. Your login information for Gibson can be found on your Green Wave Portal.
I just looked at my daughters portal and I see the Applicant tab on Gibson. Her EDII button also works, but she didn’t check it previous to today…
My daughters EDII button didn’t work earlier but does now. No change on Gibson Portal…
@alipel Does your daughter’s Gibson Portal display the “applicant” tab?
@blazinamazin2023 Not that I can see…Bad sign ya think??
@alipel I honestly have no clue, but based off these other comments, the applicant tab seems to be a sign of getting accepted.
@blazinamazin2023 Would it be a tab next to the “Home” “Financial Aid” tabs???
So my student’s ED II didn’t work last night or this morning but we didn’t apply for FA so we don’t have a Gibson portal.
