Your Gibson portal shows items of need-base already?
My D’s only shows merit-scholar 23K. I know it is not the final because I am 100% sure she shall have TOPS, but TOPS has not been listed in Gibson yet.
Yes. I have TOPS and need-based. did she apply early?
I think she did apply for need-base, but maybe the paper work not done yet… Tulane kept asking for my D’s tax/income info but she earned nothing for 2019.
ahhhh yes quite tricky. I applied early action and have completed all the forms (FAFSA, CSS Profile, IDOC)
All of them were completed last year, but Tulane kept asking for more paper work. I am a little tired as they asked for the same form twice, 1 week apart.
In Gibson, it says “something” is needed, and here is the link of the web page where we can download forms. When we got there, none of the forms matched the “something” needed.
hmmmm I wonder why. Just curious, what part of LA are yall from? If that’s too personal, no worries! I live in the southern part of the state
East Baton Rouge Parish

Did anyone receive an interview invitation for Stamps yet?
If I remember right, LSU’s STAMPS invitations were sent out 2 weeks ago. Not sure what is the time frame for Tulane.
For those who were deferred, is there a deadline to submit midyear grades? Also, are you just sending one LOCI?
Thanks
Each school that offers Stamps, has their own timeline. Tulane sent their invites out a few days/ 1 work day after the DHS / PT last year. DHS/PT came out in a Friday, emails about Stamps came out in Monday.
Thank you so much for providing information about this! Do you by any chance remember the approximate time that the emails came out?
I sent one LOCI after winter break when I was deferred. There is no need to send multiple LOCI; they already have it in your file and it’s enough to show you’re still interested : )
Can I ask the amount of merit she was offered and then increased? I understand if you prefer not to share. Thank you!
So PT/DHS came out mid morning on a Friday. Stamps email came at 8:15AM on the following Monday. Pretty specific on the time because D and I both were at her school, because I teach there. I saw the email and raced from my room to find her and celebrate. We were all pretty bummed about the PT decision so this sent my heart into a super excited over drive.
Daughter has been trying to find a time to say that the weekend of misery wasn’t very kind. Previously I believe potential Stamps students came out of the PT/DHS group. So they got a yes for PT/DHS and then got the Stamos interview email, so we thought she was done that Friday.

do you know if Tulane sends rejection letters for stamps or only invitations to interview?
Only invitations to interview. They’d have to send rejections to everyone who applied to Paul Tulane or Deans Honors since that is where they pull their Stamps possibilities from.
Strictly merit - she was offered $18,000 per year before DHS/PT rejection. They bumped it up to $20,000 per year after. Not a huge bump…but she will happily take what she can get till the final financial aid packages come in.
If this is too specific, please don’t feel like you have to answer it! What was the interview about? I haven’t done a college interview before, and I don’t have very many people to ask. Do they basically kind of ask about your background and why you want to go to Tulane?
