Congrats Rivergirl131! Really wish Admissions would tell us soon when we can expect the EA decisions. The waiting is horrible! 
@Hopper2019 - the waiting is SO tough but them releasing the ED decisions so early was amazing - my daughter was totally shocked (and crazy happy) to get the letter so soon!
@Hopper2019 we got EA last year on Dec 19 via email so it’s still early. Good luck!
@Rivergirl1313 and @DSWY*** – Thank you both! Just eager here
@Hopper2019 totally understand. We were in the same situation last year. @Rivergirl1313 Congrats!
@Rivergirl1313 I believe CAST was new this year, so only a Tulane freshman (e.g. @conflictedcollegegal6789998212) can give you a real perspective on CAST. However, I will say that the best time to visit is during Crawfest in April! I believe an admitted students day or weekend takes place on that day.
I googled CAST. Apparently, it’s largely about academic resources on campus and scheduling classes, which you can do during a virtual session.

With that perspective, Destination Tulane is more interactive, with campus tours and Q&A sessions with current students!
Just saw this posted on the Tulane Facebook Page.
We will release decisions for our Early Action applicants on Thursday, December 20th at 3:30 pm CST! Best of luck to everyone!
@Rivergirl1313 I think you should attend an admitted students weekend and do the CAST online. CAST programming was only one day, and really only useful because I was able to meet one on one with an academic advisor to make my schedule for fall. However, this could have been done easily over video call, as many people do. The rest of the programming was honestly boring. I went with my roommate and our moms and even our moms ditched the parent programming and my roommate and I left after the only useful part (making our schedule). We only really went because my roommate and I and our moms wanted to all meet up together (which was really fun), but the actual CAST day was pointless and could be done via video call. Admitted students weekend has programming over 2 or 3 days, and is more spread out and not overwhelming. I suggest going to that instead of CAST, and attending a virtual CAST session will be just fine.
