Accepted into Business!!!
6.2 W
3.8 UW
No test scores
Do you think we can negotiate merit? I got accepted and offered 12k a year.
Some schools yes some no. Depends on the leverage you have. If you have another school with a better offer you can try to get them to match it but truth is with the number of students applying and deferred in the mix they may not have any reason to say yes.
Ok, thanks. At least thereâs hope
So let me get this straightâŠI am not good enough for Early Action, but if I go Early Decision II I am good enough? So I have to commit without any idea of cost? If I am not good enough for Early Action, shouldnât you just deny me? Never mind, I got itâŠ

D22 OOS deferred business
3.9/4.1
Strong essays, solid ECâs, 4 yr varsity athlete
There is a letter of acceptance. There is an additional letter attachment that you have to open that describes the scholarship and a 3rd letter that shows the entire financial picture.

Thanks for responding!
Accepted. OOS. 1400 SAT.
Strong essays, 3.8 all APs and honors.
Visited, and did lots of demonstrated interest.
ED2 is a give-up on merit opportunity. There are so many other good colleges that donât play this game. Money grab strategy. Approx sticker price of $75k a year is a lot of money for undergraduates.

Any idea what the GPA range is for acceptance in ED II? I have no confidence of being accepted in RD and seriously considering ED II recognizing we will be full pay. This seems like our only chance of getting into any our top 4 choices. Even our easy target school deferred us. Record amount of applications everywhere including our 5th choice which we havenât heard from yet. Another âeasy targetâ 
Accepted to Herbert Business but no merit money. Is there a chance that can come later?
I agree. Tulane plays this game too. Only School we went to who said ED wonât make a difference to acceptance rate was GW. They said, itâs nice to know itâs your first choice, but doesnât weigh that heavily in your qualifications. Otherwise my daughter would have ED 2 there. She ED 1 at BU and was deferred. Very frustrating.
I was suspect of Tulaneâs strategy. No app fees. That inflates the volume of apps and then take it from there. We toured the campus last June. Pretty campus but neither of my sons was that impressed.
I donât think Tulane makes any secret that they give priority to ED candidates. I have a friend whose son is there and he is a legacy. He applied ED1. When the daughter applied with better stats EA, they deferred her and told the mom if she applies ED 2 they will admit her. The daughter got mad and refused because it seemed so ridiculous. You didnât want me a minute ago, but if I ED 2 you want me? So she didnât and waited out USCâs decision and got in.

If they are still meeting your EFC (as they did last year) it wonât matter whether youâre EA or ED. My D was accepted as EA and her friend as ED and they both were given merit aid and grants to make the tuition online with our EFCs.
Miami meets EFC so if you fill out the FAFSA and CSS profile, they will offer grant or merit aid up to your EFC. Miami was actually a cheaper option than several public universities my D Applied to last year.

College admissions has gotten ridiculously competitive in the last four years. My older D got into all the schools she applied to and my younger one got into 6 out of the 11 she applied to.
