If they were going to waitlist a bunch of applicants, Tulane should have informed way earlier.
waitlisted too. Georgia. 29 ACT and 4.2 Weighted GPA. I expressed extreme interest almost so much that it was annoying. Called and emailed about 6 times. My counselor even hinted at good news but I probably overthought it. Never been so devastated in my life.
Nothing. Was deferred EA and have shown a lot of interest. Praying that there are still acceptances to go out. At this point I am slowly giving up hope. Really is a bummer for all of us as well as Tulane. The way they handled the admissions process this year was unfair. It remains my first choice and unfortunately I do not know how it will play out.
No portal or email, this process seems very inconsistent . I check my portal about 15 times a day before bed and right when I wake up. Its unfortunate this process has been so grueling.
Posted earlier, but adding more info: D applied EA from Idaho, ACT 33, GPA 4.06. Deferred on Dec. 19; no update on the portal as of right now.
@SlowLorises It seems like midwest decisions have not come out yet. Hopefully we will be accepted in the next 48 hours. Good luck to you!
I’m a girl from VA, 4.29 GPA, 1430 SAT. Haven’t heard anything
Nothing yet for me. Discouraging since my Tulane essay was one of my best lol
TX got waitlisted tonight. An email telling me there was an update and then the portal had the info. Good luck to everyone!
Do you guys think I got waitlisted bc I didn’t write the essay? 33 act and great GPA/extracurriculars
@rollwave99 Good luck to you too. I think my daughter is over it – I’m the one who is now obsessed with finding out.
Also waitlisted, 29 ACT 4.08 GPA
No decision. Friend at the same school waitlisted. Guess rejections are all thats left?
btw, they never emailed me saying there was a notification, i just checked my portal. very inconsistent all around as many others reported getting emails. they handled this poorly and i’m truly devestated by this waitlist.
Waitlisted from Illinois. My AO is Mr. Stanford!
So is this like a wave??
Acceptance->Waitlist->Reject?
@yejin3508 thats what happened last year
Waitlisted from WA, originally deferred EA
3.94 UW GPA
10 AP/IB classes, full IB diploma, only had possibility for one more ib/ap class all throughout high school.
4 dual enrollment classes
1500 new sat w/ 2 subject tests over 700
National champion in my sport
Created my own study abroad when my family couldn’t afford an expensive program
Speak 3 languages (only english spoken at home)
Wrote the optional essay specific to tulane
Sent in transcripts and recommendation letters from abroad (not usually done in that country)
Only accepted into a state school where literally only one or two people from my school are rejected every year, rejected from UChicago, wait listed from tulane.
Trying to figure out what I did wrong.
D waitlisted. Applied EA, deferred. Stats comparable to admitted students. Long family legacy at Tulane—great-grandfather, grandparents, cousins, sibling. D admitted with good scholarships to other prestigious schools. Really confused.
S was waitlisted in NY. Saw 2 accepted on the other thread for spring 2018 but the rest there were w/l too. They knew weeks ago there was no room not clear what the wait was for.
