Son deferred.
3.97UW GPA, 35ACT
Really good Why Tulane essay (liked it the most of all his college essays).
Captain Robotics multi-year
Varsity state medalist swimming, then switched junior year to rowing
Really solid community service including starting up STEM club for underserved community
Blah blah 11 APs. Hardest track
MW white, upper middle class, private Catholic HS,
No real demonstrated interest.
Likely will withdraw application due to being accepted to top choice.

Congrats to all who were accepted! And deferred, thereās still a chance! We have a Tulane hat they sent my DD, anyone want it 
just kidding but was hopeful maybe it was a good sign when she got in November. I guess not 
Does anyone know if you are accepted with merit along with acceptance in the honors program if there would be additional merit coming?
Sorryā¦YES their loss. ;(
The other merit scholarships you had to apply for ( Paul Tulane and some other ones I forgot the names) but they were due December 5th. Waiting on my financial aid package :((( I only got 16k in merit which was way lower than I expected because as of rn I cannot afford this school! Good luck!
Accepted OOS.
1520 SAT, 3.6 UW, 3.8 Weighted at most rigorous high school in the state, okay ECs, lots of demonstrated interest, National Merit Semifinalist, Community Service.
Not at all surprised that my daughter was deferred even though her stats are a lot higher of those that get in through ED. We knew going in that ED is easy, and no one from our high school got in after that. Tulane plays a game - free application = more applicants, then take as many through ED, and as few from regular rounds = very high yield. More applicants + few admitted = appearance of a highly selective school. They know what they are doing. If thatās truly the school for you and money is not an object, need to ED. As long as they are not deceptive about it, not much is wrong with their plan. Please donāt take it personally. Most of the deferred here can go to more selective schools. Nothing personal, they want to keep their yield high.
