weird

<p>ok i jut checked the mail and got something very weird from Tulane. Originally they had given me a free application (the one that like everyone got), I filled out the basic online thing, but never did anything more. I had decided there was no way even after Katrina they would let me in, my stats just aren't there. So I never finished the supplemental stuff like recs and transcripts.</p>

<p>i thought they would just drop it, but i have persistantly gotten emails, mail and they even contacted my counselor to bug me. I still thought there was no way.</p>

<p>then i check the mail today and they sent, in a yellow envelope "urgent racs express gram" to tell me they are making final scholarship decisions and they need me to complete my app still, by april 14. it as a ps that reads "i think you have the ability, courage and character to join the Tulane campus"....</p>

<p>I'm a realist, I know that my stats do not show I have "ability, courage and character" to go there. But now that I've gotten some rejections and Tulane has been sooooo persistant, I'm kinda thinking I should follow through.</p>

<p>Ok...longest post ever I know....does anyone have any insight? Is this just another one of their blank mass mailings similar to how they did the free apps or is it more?</p>

<p>what are your stats?</p>

<p>Go for it! Tulane may look soft for the 2006-2007 national ratings but it will definately offer students a uniqute opportunity (ie, essay) for grad/prof. school apps in the future. rust me...I know this school..they will "land on their feet" and those who are there to support them will benefit...</p>
