I concur; Tulane was not a reach for our daughter and she was awarded merit aid despite the fact that she was an ED candidate. She simply fell in love with the school and wanted there to be no question that it was undoubtedly her first choice
The merit aid is based on a mathematical function and @trackmbe3 seems to be correct and he said most (not all).
Applied EA, I’m an international student.
1480 SAT, school grades are A,A,B. Tons of meaningful ECs and great essays. Applied for the Paul Tulane Award as well!
Accepted into ED - Have any other ED applicants not received their merit award offer yet?
I haven’t heard back yet regarding any sort of merit award as well
On my Gibson portal it says “Admission Decision Pending Review”, I’m EA…anyone else have the same message?
@bigchoices2018 Mine still just says “Submitted”.
@bigchoices2018 My Gibson portal says “Admission decision pending review” as well.
Hi guys! Tulane is my top choice so I just wanted to join this thread for potential members of the class of '22 
Quick question: are the Gibson and GreenWave Portals the same thing? Thanks!
@arc2018 You start and upload the application on your Green Wave Portal. It’s under a new application tab, then there is a dropdown menu where you can pick what application type want!
@adamdedobb @coolarubaboy Any merit-aid decisions other than the full-tuition application scholarships are included in admissions letters. Need-based aid comes from financial aid and will be provided later!
I’m wondering about the Gibson Portal as well. My S has access to Green Wave Portal but hasn’t received an email about how to access the Gibson Portal. My understanding is the Gibson Portal is for Financial Aid and Merit info…is this correct? He applied EA in October.
@bigchoices2018 @WiscoRunner @ls2018 Early Action decisions are still being made and none have been released yet, so thats why your status said “submitted” or “pending.” EA decision letters will leave the admissions office on December 17th and status portals will be updated a few days after that.
@moncomom - On the Green Wave Portal, on the Application Status page, on the right side under Financial Aid - this is where we found Gibson log-in info.
@haxeinutorfootball Do I have to accept the offer of admission on the portal? before seeing it? Nothing came with my physical letter
@HazelnutorFootball Do I have to accept the offer of admission on the portal before seeing it? Nothing came with my physical letter
I’m an EA applicant, what do the portals look like if a decision has been made? i’m really curious and scared for the 20th. Also what time will decisions be posted if not mailed on th day of?
That’s what mine said, I applied ED. I was deferred to regular decision.
I applied EA and never got an email about how to log into the Gibson portal… When I clicked forgot username/password it said that there was no account associated with my email. Did this happen to anyone else?
@adamdedobb If you received merit aid, it would been included in your letter of admission.
