@Hopper2019 It was posted on the Tulane Facebook and Instagram pages!
@bellrossi – Thx!
@Hopper2019 I dont have an ability to see the future but two comments above my Post (in Caps) was the person saying it was announced on Facebook, so it was more like being able to see into the past onto Tulanes Facebook page.
@ZeeMeZeeYou – Ha! Thanks 
I submitted my DHS scholarship app already, and the site said letters of rec are optional for DHS. However it says my letter is one of the materials “awaiting” before they can review my application. Is that alright?
Also, if a letter is actually required could I have it emailed to them before the deadline Dec. 5? Even though my scholarship app is already submitted
Will you be emailed about decisions, or are decisions only updated on the portal?
@blazinamazin2023 they are on the portal first then if you are accepted, you will get an email!
Does anyone know what the acceptance rate for Tulane’s ED was for this year? And does anyone know what the EA acceptance rate is projected to be?
@blazinamazing2023 from the data I saw last year it was never broken down by ED and EA but rather early decision versus regular decision…I’d be curious too what it was if anyone knows
@blazinamazin2023 … @Rivergirl1313 for the class just admitted.
Early Decision Admission Rate 36% of 1394 applicants were admitted OR 501 of the 7657 admitted (1965 enrolled)
Early Action Admission Rate 6% of 21216 applicants were admitted OR 1272 of the 7657 admitted (1965 enrolled)
Overall a little over 21% of the 35,622 applicants were admitted. You can kinda do the math… Assuming all the EDs enrolled (Likely) that left 1464 spots for the other 27,965 Early action and Regular Admission peeps… YIKES…
Yet no one came on to say they were declined.
Somewhere your figures are off. Tulane doesn’t have a 6% admit rate for EA. With a yield of about 30% they would have had to admit 3 times more than the number that enrolled
^^ This.
I think your numbers are a bit off. We know from here - https://news.tulane.edu/news/class-2022-welcomes-world%E2%80%99s-best-and-brightest
that they admitted 562/1819 (31%) ED applicants for the class of 2022. We also know that they accepted a total of 6598/33813 applicants (17%). That means they accepted 6036/36994 (16.3%) non ED applicants. No idea how that breaks out between EA and RD though. Yield on non ED applicants was about 25%.
Thats uncommon for someone to do that actually. Tulane is a great choice, but 1 in 5 wont make it. And even at that the people that are on CC are just a tiny subset of that. Not getting into a school can be crushing, our eldest got into each school she applied to EXCEPT my wifes alma mater… that still stings,
^^^^^ Where did you find those numbers? They don’t match what I have seen for the most recently admitted class (2022). I’m guessing those are 2021…the 2022 rates were lower. RD was a bloodbath last year and zero students were admitted from the waitlist.
As was mentioned upthread, you typically don’t seen the early round rates broken out, just overall and sometimes an early vs. regular. Tulane is getting to be a tough admit but the rate will flatten out eventually. I’m very curious to see if the rate continues its decline this year or if we see it begin to level a bit.
“Where did you find those numbers”? Click the link in my post. Data for Class of 2022 direct from Tulane’s website (plus a little algebra), as of 2/16/18
*** Just realized there was a typo in original post — the overall admit rate was 6598/38813 (17%)
I recall reading (but someone check me) that for this year, US News has reduced (or maybe eliminated?) any weighting for acceptance rate, and are focusing on Pell grant graduates and yield to a greater extent. If so, may cause schools like Tulane to use ED to a greater extent to increase yield.
Per here – https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/ranking-criteria-and-weights you are correct that US News rankings no longer use acceptance rate as a factor in their rankings. However, it appears they don’t (and didn’t) use yield either (contrary to what I thought as well).
Anecdotally, I am hearing that last year a number of colleges last year used the wait list as a tool to increase yield, as, like ED, they get a 100% yield on wait list acceptances (they don’t offer a spot off the wait list until you confirm you will attend)
@Dadofthreeboys – Would be great if all the colleges adopted the USC approach. One RD process. No EDI. No EDII. No EA. Allows the developing mind of a young adult to carefully weigh options in the spring (and aid packages if needed). Alas…
