Tulane EA and ED Admission Decisions - Class of 2021

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University
201

Too late, I emailed the office in general. I provided them with my reference number though, so hopefully they’ll be able to resolve it.

202

This is just a Common App error, nothing to worry about! If you are seeing this error after applying Early Decision and your application was completed on time, you will still be given a notification decision by December 15!

203

I submitted my Common App on 10/10, everything was received by 10/27… I know I won’t hear back too soon, but does anyone know how much time passes typically between submission and decision? I’ve been trying to search through this thread to piece dates together, I’m figuring about 3 weeks but did anyone hear sooner/later?

204

@allison1225 I feel like at this pt its anyones best guess… I mean if you are in a place that gives Tulane relatively few apps (which probably isn’t a lot of places) then you might get it sooner, but if that is what you have pieced together that is probably about true!

Also, some people on this forum think that they release online decisions on Mondays, so hopefully we all get our decisions tomorrow!

205

There has only been one online release date so far - last Monday and as @fallenchemist (RIP) had told us a number of times, Tulane is not a rolling admissions school. Many students will not hear until closer to the mid December notification deadlines. It seems to me the folks that heard last week had the highest stats with the largest scholarships - slam dunks. My dd had all her materials in by 10/1 and didn’t hear last week.

206

@wpk321 I believe more decisions will be released tonight.

207

@wpk321 On the login page to the application portal, there’s a disclaimer that states decisions are released when they become available and those released later are not reflective of the decision itself. A vast majority of us are still waiting for our decisions, so let’s trust the process. Good luck!

208

@theringoinfinite, well said! Although the process may feel like a long time, Tulane has a very quick turnaround time when it comes to reading apps. Remember, applications are not read in the order they are received. It may feel far away, but everyone (EA or ED) will have decision by mid December. I remember it took me over 1 month to hear back from Tulane. Although stressful, everything works out! Best of luck.

209

I heard that the first wave of admissions decisions covered everyone whose application was complete up to Oct. 18th. I am not sure if that is true or not though…

210

I also heard that they release their decisions every Monday and Friday.

@master34 said

Looking back through this thread, it appears that everyone who heard back that posted their app completion dates were all by the 18th. So you may be correct. Let see hope we hear back tonight!

212

@greeny8 @master34 Everything was received on the 18th for me…

213

My D’s friend just got in ED in today’s mail before the online decision has been posted (maybe tonight?). She had everything in by end of September and just found put today. My D had everything marked complete 10/1 still waiting to hear.

214

And good luck to everyone!

215

I wasn’t saying that IF it was received by the 18th you’d get a decision, just that none after that date got a decision. Lets hope tonight they will release more :slight_smile:

216

Is everyone who heard ED decisions or EA? Just wondering if they are doing ED first.

217

Also if someone got something in the mail today (where do you live,) I assume they will post tonight. My S is EA and app not complete until 11/1. Hopeful we will hear but probably too early. Good luck

218

It seems as if Tulane is aiming to have letters arrive before the application portal is updated with a notification decision.

219

@skeptile My d’s friend who heard in today’s mail is in New Jersey. She was ED.

220
