Hello! This is a forum for those applying EA for Tulane. Ask questions and add decisions as they come in:
ACT:
SAT:
GPA:
Class Rank:
Date Applied:
Decision/School:
Date Received:
Goodluck everyone!
EA released on December 19th last-year. I didn’t receive an email until ~30 minutes-1 hour after decisions released, but the notification was posted on TU’s social media (there are widgets in your Green Wave portal linking to them.)
Sounds like it’s Dec 18th this year - exciting but hard to wait!
At a webinar two nights ago, they said the week of the 14th – probably earlier honestly considering they’re getting ED out today!
hi all - any chance of EA decisions this week? also, anyone have a feel for merit (not need based) for : out of state, WGPA - 4.6; GPA 4.0, SAT 1450; ton of APs, honors, etc
An admissions officer told me they definitely won’t be out before the 14th. They said that week, so hopefully they will come out on the 14th. I can’t give you an estimate, but will say Tulane has been giving out fewer merit scholarships. Hope this helps! @A1A1A1

So far no updates on a specific decision date, but there’s 9 days until the week of the 14th!! I’m very excited but have also heard that they potentially might defer a lot of people because they want those can afford to to do ED II
Ahhh I just checked my Gibson portal and it says they’ve started to review my application…freaking out
Gibson portal says the same thing here but I’m not sure if that’s new or if it’s always said that
My Gibson portal has always said and continues to say: “Admission decision pending review”. Is this what you mean?
@drewcollege4 @MrRobot2018 i’ve been checking it once in a while and mine JUST changed to that, as of yesterday. It says admission decision pending review and next to it says established and requested with yesterday’s date
Thats what it says too “established and requested” but date is 11/17. (applied 10/11)

That’s interesting. I’m curious what it means if your app decision got made so long after you applied VS really quickly. A friend of mine who didn’t show any interest in Tulane has a status change less than 15 days after he applied. Does that mean they just said no and moved on?
To help those speculating on the timing of the update on Gibson, here is my info:
Gibson has basically said the following for me since the beginning:
Admission decision pending review Established and Requested 11/23/2020
The 11/23 date also corresponds to my CSS profile receipt date by Tulane on the same page. Not sure if that is just a coincidence.
I applied to Tulane on 11/15. Got the Gibson email on 11/24 and set it up same day. Has always said the above.
As for stats/interest, I’m above the 75th percentile on all stats, good extra curriculars and leadership, coming from a top school in the northeast, with a detailed application as to why Tulane was right for me and have visited school.
I don’t think I would be an immediate reject or an immediate accept, so I am not sure the timing of the update on Gibson is indicative of anything.
I don’t think there’s any correlation just because my CSS and FAFSA were received two days prior. I feel like i’m looking into it too much but it is interesting how quickly some people’s’ statuses were changed
Ahhh that makes sense. Css profile submitted 11/16 and uploaded on 11/17
What is a Gibson portal? I submitted my application through the common app
It’s the financial aid portal. The info for it is in your Green Wave Portal.
If you go to your application and look on the right side, there will be a green rectangle with your login information to the Gibson portal. Your user and password are always numbers
