@tula32 I can’t speak for other schools but Tulane’s office of admission is need blind. The AO would not have access to the CSS Profile therefore it would have not impact on the admission decision.
@tula32 We didn’t do our SS or FAFSA until after we completed our income tax and our son was admitted EA .
Thank you for the responses. This theory didn’t make sense to me, because the schools publish their FA deadlines for a reason.
Definitely. Merit scholarships are not dependent on FAFSA or CSS
Do the acceptance envelopes have Congratulations imprinted on the outside?
@loop2loop no, but it is a large 8 1/2 x 11 type envelope
So no other letters delivered today? Do you think maybe the one noted as received yesterday was just a super delayed delivery from the prior week acceptance letters?
I think mystery solved. I don’t think any letters went out last week. I found earlier in this thread the person that got their letter yesterday posted on the 14th that they were accepted via the portal, so their regular mail letter just must have been delayed in getting to them. I have a feeling no letters went out last week:-(
The stress is getting to me…I don’t know how my daughter is coping with it.
waiting is always the hardest part
rejection is the hardest part but waiting is a close second
I just got an email from Tulane with subject being “Tulane Scholarship Opportunities” and the first sentence says “Thank you for applying to Tulane University!”
What does this email mean? They have just started to review my application?
When did you submit?
The status page says application submitted 11/13, but test scores and school forms received 11/14
OK same time as my daughter…will see if she got that same email.
It was also sent to me specifically, or at least I believe so, as it had my regional rep’s name at the end.
interesting
Had you checked the honors program box on the app?
I am not quite sure, sorry. I skimmed through the application pdf on the common app site, did not see any honors box/question.
@2021Hopeful I received an email from my regional counselor last week, however it came two days after I was accepted. So sadly, I don’t think it means anything. They most likely took this week off due to the holiday.
