Quick question, I applied EA and my CSS profile says I will not receive a financial aid package for Tulane until 1/25. I don’t want to jump to conclusions at all but does this possibly mean I was deferred? Does anyone else’s CSS profile also say this?
Mine says the same thing, so now I’m curious too.
Where does it say that and it that message just appear today? Thanks.
It says it under Award Letter Date on the actual CSS Profile. It’s always said that though, so I don’t think it means anything.
its on the college board css profile page, and I don’t think it changed recently but I’m not 100% sure.
Okay, thanks and I see that too. I see other dates for other Universities, I don’t think it means anything although for 1 university, I don’t see a date at all.

Yeah, my ED school doesn’t have a date either.
1/25 is the stated date on CSS Profile that Tulane notifies of aid
Nervous mom, here… I try not to read into things, but I’m a little worried. On son’s Gibson, it says they received Financial Aid, but nothing about CSS. I called last week, and they said they received it, and that it should appear on portal within 48hrs. I checked today, and still not there. When I called a little while ago, the woman put me on hold, and then said that we’d see CSS profile if she was admitted. GULP…now I’m thinking denial…
Try not to stress about it (I know, easier said than done). My CSS didn’t show up on my Gibson portal until a couple days ago even though I sent it in over a month and a half ago. I think they’re just struggling to upload/update everything before decision day.

Means nothing. Click the ? at the top of the award letter date column and it is explained. It is nothing to stress over and gives no indication of admission status.

Where in the Gibson portal does it note CSS or FAFSA? Our materials were uploaded from the CSS website, and it’s noted under the “Financial Aid”, “To Do List” tab that they received our specific tax information that we had to upload directly to Tulane. Maybe I’m crazy, but where in the Gibson portal do see references to the CSS and FAFSA forms? Thanks.
My FAFSA and CSS Profile show up in the “To Do List Tab” under “Done List.” I, however, didn’t upload any tax information directly to Tulane, so maybe I did something wrong.
Got it—thanks for clarifying!

Just found out that if you don’t write the ‘why tulane’ essay you basically don’t get in… Rip I’ll accept my rejection now.
They reiterated the importance of the “optional” essay on their webinars. If all else is good though, you never know! Green Wave portal looks different today, I guess they are gearing up to update it!

Yes, I see that listed on the portal as well.
Decisions for Early Action applicants will be released on 12/17 at 3:30 Central Time. Good luck!
May I ask how your Green Wave portal looks different? I just logged on, and I think it looks the same.

Oh I think all the application items required went away. I think they were listed previously.
Two days guys!! How are yall’s feeling about decisions? I’m curious whether financial aid packages will come out immediately since I submitted my financial aid stuff on the first day you could.
