[whole frost]

[long pond]

GOT IN

WITH MONEY

LOTS OF IT

AAAAAH

[hybrid birch]

Well they offered me their best wishes. And that’s about all they offered💀

[hybrid birch]

Congrats🎉

[rough gale]

I got I.

In

I’m crying 😭

[twilit rune]

Deferred 💀💀💀

[long pond]

Thank you so much

[bright ferry]

Deferred

[hybrid birch]

Congrats🎉

[hybrid birch]

Congrats 🎉

[zenith ocean]

Deferred

[eternal hare]

Deferred again 😍

[hybrid birch]

Wait how do you find out if you’re deferred or rejected completely

[bright ferry]

It says

[hybrid birch]

Oof

I got rejected completely

[stuck egret]

Do they defer people who have too strong of an application?

[bright ferry]

No

I’m assuming demonstrated interest was the issue

[bright ferry]

For me

[stuck egret]

like I got in ED to an ivy but I got deferred

[zenith ocean]

considering i got deferred im shocked

[bright ferry]

I am too

[zenith ocean]

again, i think my problem was demonstrated interested

[hybrid birch]

I’m worried from this tbh that this might mean something is wrong with my application

[bright ferry]

Guess I’m gonna AFK a bunch of Tulane virtual events!

[zenith ocean]

which im gonna show the fuck off within the next month AND

[hybrid birch]

Or I just didn’t show enough interest

💀

[zenith ocean]

im gonna call my ao and talk to her about shit

no lol

its not just

[bright ferry]

I asked to do a phone call and the told me to screw off

[zenith ocean]

demonstrated interes tthat defers u

[twilit rune]

yes off

so probably they didn’t like my app 💀💀💀

[bright ferry]

Which one?

[stuck egret]

Dartmouth

[abstract oasis]

I’m in

[bright ferry]

Congrats!

To both of you!

[hybrid birch]

Congrats 🎉

[stuck egret]

maybe it's because I'm not from louisiana?

[twilit rune]

I’m from MA

[zenith ocean]

not how it works lol

[stuck egret]

Why did I get deferred

[long pond]

I don’t think that matters much

[stuck egret]

it makes no sense

[zenith ocean]

It does make sense

You aren’t the only applicant

And EA students often get deferred

[hybrid birch]

Should I be worried if I got rejected not deferred? Did I mess something up on my application?💀

[zenith ocean]

That’s where you show interest.

[stuck egret]

maybe it's because I submitted the online application?

instead of the common app?

[twilit rune]

it’s because i’m not pretty enough isnt it 😔

[abstract oasis]

Bb bros

I’m in

[stuck egret]

congrats

[abstract oasis]

Cuz of my bb pfp

[long pond]

LALOOOOO

my goat

[zenith ocean]

maybe they also deferred me because i applied for the paul award and did good w those essays? LMASO

tulane admissiins sounds so pissed otp rn LMSAOAO

[stuck egret]

I also applied for the paul award

[long pond]

Wait what lol

[stuck egret]

I think it's because I didn't show enough demonstrated interest

[long pond]

I applied for the Paul award

[stuck egret]

but the paul award is demonstrated interest

so I'm confused

[zenith ocean]

im actually so happy i got deferred and not rejected

gives me some hope

ed2ing rn and gonna show hella interest

[hollow cedar]

I GOT IN

[hybrid birch]

Congrats 🎉

[twilit rune]

“maybe i got deferred bc i was TOO good and they liked me TOO much and wanna keep me on my toes🥺”

YES MILK

[whole frost]

i applied for the dhs and paul tulane award

[zenith ocean]

im pretty sure deferrals are just their way of saying "we actually do want u, but since ur not the strongest compared to the rest, we rather u ed2 to make sure ty"

[zenith ocean]

YESSS

[twilit rune]

I’m not EDing to that school 💀😹

[stuck egret]

I have to withdraw anyway

[twilit rune]

I’ll submit a loci

Can u do that if u get deferred

[stuck egret]

bc I got in ED to dartmouth

[abstract oasis]

I’m The only mf who applied for deans honor

[bright ferry]

I did

It was WAY easier than the Paul Tulane application lol

What did those who got accepted do interest wise?

[whole frost]

i did a tour

[bright ferry]

I just went through my Tulane app again and they didn’t have my ACT in there… I know I submitted it in the Common App but did I need to do it again?

[stone remnant]

rip i got deferred 😦

[bright ferry]

Yeah... RIP my ACT wasnt in my application 😭

[wheat oracle]

keep in mind that tulane is one of the top universities i can think of that does yield protection

meaning they will be more keen on rejecting overqualified applicants to ensure that they admit students who want to and will go to their school

[bright ferry]

We know this for 100 percent certain?

[tulip holly]

wait so if I showed a bunch if interest and I didn't apply ED, does all the interest still count?

[wheat oracle]

yes you can look up tulane yield protection

[wheat oracle]

it always counts

[tulip holly]

alright I didn't check the decision yet, but its been bugging me

[wheat oracle]

no worries, 12 of my friends just got in 20 minutes ago and they all EA'ed

i think the most interest they did was a) talking to a representative that came to their schools and b) online tour

[twilit rune]

DAMNNN are you in state

[wheat oracle]

and the first option isnt accessible to everyone

[wheat oracle]

all california!

[bright ferry]

I tried to demonstrate interest but my AO said she was too busy to talk or even answer my questions through email

[twilit rune]

dang

[wheat oracle]

i have no clue how it works for in state applicants sorry

[tulip holly]

yeah, my stats isn't fantastic or anything, but it does fall within the Tulane range so as long as I have the interest I think I'll be fine

[wheat oracle]

yes 100%

[wheat oracle]

im not an ao obviously but im assuming this is totally fine too

[stone remnant]

my stats are p good i think lol: 4.0 UW 4.33 W, 33 ACT but deferred

[zenith ocean]

i got deferred but im doing to cloi and i just turned my app to ed2

[wheat oracle]

that's literally on them

[zenith ocean]

gives me some hope

[stuck egret]

I got yielded

[zenith ocean]

my stats are pretty shit but my application as a whole is amazing

[twilit rune]

how do u turn ur app into ed2?

is it an option on the portal

[bright ferry]

yes

There is a section

although im not sure how to turn it into RD

[tulip holly]

I got in

y'all

I

am so happy

[wheat oracle]

if you were deferred you're automatically put into the RD pool!

[bright ferry]

Congrats!

[wheat oracle]

CONGRATS!!!!

[bright ferry]

I got it

[wheat oracle]

This is so exciting

[tulip holly]

I just got rejected from my top choice too

[zenith ocean]

look at the top

[zenith ocean]

its automatically erd

[bright ferry]

Well considering the average amount of interest I showed and them not having my ACT, Im assuming I have a solid shot at RD

[zenith ocean]

congrats hacob!!!

i got deferred with a shitty gpa and no test scores

so clearly my app as a whole was good enough for them to defer me

[bright ferry]

nah i was saying I got that my app was now rd lol

[zenith ocean]

i think they just want me to ed2 cause of yield protection

[zenith ocean]

oh

lol

[bright ferry]

I just want the scholarships 😦

[twilit rune]

do they not give you a decision if you don’t fill out the continued interest in tulane page?

[bright ferry]

I dont wanna pay 320k to go to college

[twilit rune]

like when should i submit a loci

[whole frost]

yeah i’m only going to go if i get the full tuition scholarship

[stone remnant]

can i get into RD yall think

if i got deferred EA

like is it possible or not

[twilit rune]

yes

[stone remnant]

kk

[twilit rune]

if u write a loci and show demonstrated interest

[stone remnant]

cuz i thought they want me to do ED2 or smth

cuz they want me to commit there

[stone remnant]

gotchaa

[wheat oracle]

i honestly think for this school consistent interest is everything

im texting one of my friends rn who j got in with a 3.7W gpa

[twilit rune]

shawn abbott sleep with one eye open

[wheat oracle]

and she just did every demonstrated interest she could

[rough gale]

I think location plays a little role cause I’m from Oklahoma but I heard if ur top 10% in Louisiana u get auto admit

Like ut

[wheat oracle]

oo yea i have no idea how in state stuff works

[bright ferry]

they had a jump of Local accepts this year too

They tweeted about it

[long pond]

What

[rough gale]

Like they compare u to people from ur state and areas that the ao look at

[bright ferry]

So... the only options I see to update my application are email to get ED, withdraw, or apply for spring scholars...

[wheat oracle]

what were you looking to do?

[bright ferry]

Nevermind, I reread the letter

[zenith ocean]

i just finished my cloi

[zenith ocean]

u dont email for ed

there a button on top of the portal

that says change to ed2

[bright ferry]

yeah, the part I was reading was saying contact us

but that button is definitely the easier way to do that

[zenith ocean]

can one of yall read my cloi?

[round blade]

I got deferred wtf

Was not expecting that at all

It's okay tulane I didn't like you either

[abstract oasis]

what did u do for the project?

[zenith ocean]

pretty much ebveryone gets deferred ea

theyre big on yield protection

[stone remnant]

lol apparently if ur too good of an applicant they defer u

[zenith ocean]

getting deferred is kinda them saying "we'll take u if ur ed2"

[stone remnant]

Mhm

[round blade]

I'm 2 gen legacy and well above average stats

[zenith ocean]

damnnn lmao

[round blade]

Did all the optional shit

Virtual tour

[zenith ocean]

rip

[stone remnant]

you can also get in RD i believe, with a good loci!

hopefully at least

[zenith ocean]

im sure! but tulane is my top choice so binding isnt a problem for me

[twilit rune]

how do you write a cloi? aren’t you supposed to write it later so that u can update on things

[zenith ocean]

heres the thing

i already graduated high scnool

[wheat oracle]

you can write it whenever, i know someone that wrote one on what they planned to accomplish (with organizations, work, etc) which i suppose has the same effect as sending it a few months later w what they had accomplished

[zenith ocean]

Yeah I’m a gap year who teaches preschool and is very active in stuff that wasn’t on my app. I also finally resubmitted new essays, and did my CLOI + updated to ED2. Hoping for better luck in Jan

Also considering how early EA came out, it makes me assume ED2 will come out before the deadline too

[round blade]

I hate ed2

[zenith ocean]

why lol

[round blade]

Take advantage of kids after they get rejected

[zenith ocean]

im only ed2ing because its actually my dream school

[wheat oracle]

whens the ed2 deadline ?

[round blade]

That's fair then

[wheat oracle]

is it like march?

[wheat oracle]

in what way

[zenith ocean]

it already passed but decisions come out by jan 31

but ea was supposed to come out around jan 15 and came out dec 20th

[wheat oracle]

i think ed2 is great for people who were stuck between two schools and got rejected from their first choice

second chance at a diff school

[zenith ocean]

so im assuming ed2 will come out

jan 15ish

[zenith ocean]

def. northwestern was my dream and so was tulane

did tulane ea since i knew id have a better chance of getting in or deferred than applying to northwestern rd

so now that nu rejected me, i can really shine for tulane

[wheat oracle]

thats so smart

luckily the process is almost over

like 3 more months at worst

[zenith ocean]

yess

[icy idol]

Deferred

[wheat oracle]

still an accomplishment!!

[round blade]

ED is to apply to your top choice school. Kids coming fresh off a rejection or deferral should not feel any need to ED just to ensure they get in somewhere good

[hollow cedar]

i went to a bunch of vid meetings and i also engaged with my ao with non-basic conversation

i also was funny in my emails or i tried to be ig

[tired relic]

deferred :(

[zenith ocean]

kinda. most students who know its not a top choice for them, they wont do the ed2

it offers those students who are interested and now know they want to make a commitment, to do it

[bright ferry]

I do videography so it was just a bunch of my videos and then an essay about my videography business

[bright ferry]

Thanks!

[round blade]

Wonder what the chances are for Rd this year. Last year was basically impossible... They accepted like 106 ppl

I still just don't understand... Tulane admissions is so fucking weird

[wheat oracle]

def similar

i honestly really like it in a school

they want kids that will go there and take advantage of their facilities, so they put an emphasis on showing interest through ea/ed/tours/their emails etc

i kind of appreciate it

[round blade]

They want their ranking in USNWR to go up

I get my cwru decision tomorrow and they do the same shit as tulane with acceptances and deferrals. Just suffering over here...

[wheat oracle]

yeah, i also do think they have accomplished some things like #1 happiest university and if they were to change the admissions process they’d likely lose some of those achievements

[round blade]

That's true

[wheat oracle]

there’s no way in hell it could be such a happy university if they stopped taking as many chances on those 3.5 gpa kids and changed their yield percent

which isnt a diss on any other university

but i do think they have a method that works for them

[round blade]

But the thing with deferrals is that they lower the RD acceptance rate and the EA acceptance rate. And tulane is doing everything they can to go sub 10% acceptance rate so they seem more elite

[wanton lake]

Deferred, surprised I didn’t get rejected I didn’t even do the optional essay lmfao

[wheat oracle]

ooo they are at 11% now huh

[round blade]

Yup for last year at least

[wheat oracle]

omg your username is gonna manifest bad juju😔

[wanton lake]

I’m a pessimist ahah

[wheat oracle]

yeah, idk, if they changed their standards of admission slightly they could honestly drop the admission rate by a ton

im looking rn and their average sat is a 1420

and i think thats the same as boston college

but BC is more “elite” according to most ppl

jk it’s better than bc bc says 1415

[abstract oasis]

damn

a whole busness

i made a five min video on technology and how it affects us and whatnot

And in it I included videos i edit for shcool and things ive coded

wait @bright ferry

did u get in?

I didnt show much demonstrated interest I only followed their insta and met the counselor once

My numbers are average

but my extracurricilars are crazy and so are my essays

Im President of a millikon clubs and do a million community service

I was scared I thought I wasnt gonna get in

[abstract oasis]

wait so u didnt do a video specifically for the scholarship?

[bright ferry]

I did not

My impression at least was that you were supposed to discuss a creative project and write an essay to explain it

I also did not get in 😢

Apparently, they didn't have my ACT on file, which definitely would make sense as to why I was deferred, especially with average engagement

I just don't think I have a shot at RD considering how few people they accept... although it seems like quite a few people on here were deferred, which may be a good sign?

[hollow cedar]

i got in w/ 3.3 uw 3.7 w and 31 act so i guess theres like a ton of stuff that goes into it. i thought i was gonna get auto rejected cause of my stats

[hollow cedar]

you probably do have a shot

[abstract oasis]

Contact them

Also u messed up

The deans honor is supposed to be specific to the prompt

Look up examples on yt I don’t wanna show mine yet up😭

[hollow cedar]

also the way my demonstrated interest carried my acceptance i feel like 😟

[hollow cedar]

the deadline for deans honor is gone though 😭

i was going to apply and then i just straight forgot

[bright ferry]

pretty sure that was basically the prompt lol

"To give further evidence of your depth of thought, analytical skills, imagination, and creativity,
use the box below to explore an idea or academic area of interest, and accompany this with a
250- to 500-word written commentary. While your project should reveal something you are
passionate about, you should not be the project’s main focus or subject."

Is that the right one?

Also are you saying I should contact them about my ACT?

[zenith ocean]

it did

the reason why tulane is my top choice now is because i know i have the ability to get admitted while also recognizing that its a really good university

[abstract oasis]

I made a 5 minute + video

talkng about technology and stuff cuz thats what im passionate abt

and it related to the square in the prompt

or box

whatever u wanna interpret it as

[balmy vine]

Same fr

Does anyone know how prestigious is the Honours program? I’m seeing how high up I should have Tulane on my list and consider not submitting to other schools (ivies etc)

[hollow cedar]

no idea, but as far as ive heard the school itself is already extremely rigorous

[hollow cedar]

after getting accepted tulane definitely feels more real as a school i could end up at yk?

[balmy vine]

SAME like it’s the first school that I properly like and am happy potentially going to

[hollow cedar]

honestly! i really love syracuse but as i was learning more abt tulane it became nicer and nicer

[tulip holly]

can we apply to the honors program after we've spent time at the school or is there only one chance?

[zenith ocean]

i believe so

contact ur ao!

[zenith ocean]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsb2k9kFcOA

interesting...

[zenith ocean]

wtf do u mean who cares

[balmy vine]

What ranking is Tulane? Every website says something different and I’m tryna show my dad that it’s acc a decent school 😭😭

[zenith ocean]

44, it’s a T50

[balmy vine]

Thanks! What website did you use?

[zenith ocean]

USNEWS which is considered the “most reliable”

What’s your intended major?

[balmy vine]

Business/ environment if I remember correctly- I got in EA

[zenith ocean]

Nice! Tulane is good for business-environmental since it’s in a tropical spot. They also feed into Houston’s energy field which is #1

[balmy vine]

Idk I’ve applied similar but diff things to every school so sometimes I get mixed up lol

[balmy vine]

Yesss I think I saw that which is really cool

[balmy vine]

Thank you!

[stone remnant]

to a certain extent

although nowadays its not the most reliable

I'd still say tulane is like T30 for a lot of majors though

and their med school is rlly good

[balmy vine]

That’s what I was thinking when they put CU boulder in t80 or something like that

[zenith ocean]

id say theyre more t40-50 than t30

[zenith ocean]

yes, i agree, hence why i put quotations lol

[stone remnant]

Yeah

[stone remnant]

Gotchu

[balmy vine]

Becuase in Forbes they put TU at like 115 and I was like no wayyy

[zenith ocean]

rankings are a bit problematic because theyre all super bias

[stone remnant]

yeah overall probably, for some majors they're top 30 though cant remember off the top of my head

[stone remnant]

yeah

[balmy vine]

Yeah so true

[zenith ocean]

their only prestigious major is public health

the rest are decent

and some are shit like a lot of their stem programs suck

[stone remnant]

yeah ig

[zenith ocean]

i love tulane but personally wouldnt put it at t50. they do play the admissions games and most of their students get opportunities because the majority of them already come from privileged backgrounds predominately in the northeast

[balmy vine]

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard that a lot of nyc kids go down there

[zenith ocean]

yeah, a lot of them come from rich areas of ct, ri, nyc, ma, etc. so like lol

tulane is just the southern version of boston college and boston university mixed

[balmy vine]

Tbh I was thinking it was defo more of a t50 like Forbes is wack for saying 115

[balmy vine]

Fairs that makes sense

[zenith ocean]

yeah i wouldnt say 115 tho lol

[stone remnant]

lol not sure what the culture is like there, im applying from cali

[zenith ocean]

rich, white, and jewish

[stone remnant]

ah lol

[zenith ocean]

vacations to expensive places every summer

spending money like crazy every night

[stone remnant]

what would you consider "rich"

[zenith ocean]

like wealthy

[balmy vine]

Real

[zenith ocean]

like ceo parents rich

[stone remnant]

oh

[zenith ocean]

yeah

[stone remnant]

so u mean insanely rich

lol

[zenith ocean]

yeah lol

people who are literally upper middle class say they feel out of place there

which is insane to me

[stone remnant]

like parents who make 1 mil a year or is that overestimating?

[balmy vine]

I think it’s probably same wealth as you would get at ivies

[balmy vine]

Way more

[zenith ocean]

i would say the 800k-1m+ is the avg amount

[stone remnant]

oh wtf

[zenith ocean]

yeah part of it is tulane admissions process

[stone remnant]

yeah im nowhere close to that...

[balmy vine]

I honestly thought it was around 1mil +

[stone remnant]

i thought my family was wealthy but ig not(not in a bad way)

[balmy vine]

I swear they’re blind tho for need

[zenith ocean]

have tulane decided to be more fair in the EA and RD rounds, there would be a more diverse socioeconomic and racial community

[balmy vine]

Yep

[zenith ocean]

they are, but when you admit the majority of your class ED

ur getting all of the kids who can full pay

or close to full pay

[balmy vine]

Yeah I’ve read an article abou that

[zenith ocean]

most kids in ED dont get merit of need based aid

[stone remnant]

oh wow

[zenith ocean]

because binding yourself ED is saying you can technically commit to paying it all

[stone remnant]

oh yeah so true

[balmy vine]

I got a merit scholarship EA which I was absolutely not expecting

[balmy vine]

Yeah I swear their rd accept is so small

[stone remnant]

thats great tho!!

[zenith ocean]

yeah most of their scholarships are EA

and they do it so you pick them

they have a very smart technique

[balmy vine]

Yeah I was really surprised! Although idk if I will take it becuase there are a lot of people that could use that more than me but idk if that’s how it works

[zenith ocean]

i give them that lol

[balmy vine]

Hahaha yeah my dad was like ok so now ur going and I was like stfu I’m finishing the app cycle in March

[zenith ocean]

how tulane scholarships work:

ED1&2 = less since they can full pay, or near full pay
EA = so that they pick Tulane
RD = so that those 100 or so kids also pick Tulane

[stone remnant]

im praying for a UC 🤞

[balmy vine]

Tbh they’ve got a good tactic I’m really considering it haha

[zenith ocean]

haha

im praying for usc

usc is my dream school

[stone remnant]

oh lol gl

thats a lot of money though

[zenith ocean]

usc, tulane, and bu are my top 3 choices lol

[stone remnant]

for tuition

[stone remnant]

oh nice

[balmy vine]

SAME I love usc

[zenith ocean]

yeah but im broke so they will give me hella aid and i can cover the rest of my out of pocket fortunately

and usc has a really strong alumni network so

kinda worth the investment

[balmy vine]

What do u wanna study at usc?

[stone remnant]

one of my friend's brother got like half tuition from usc and other half bc he was national merit semifinalist so he basically got full tuition

[stone remnant]

oh true!

[zenith ocean]

and i love usc because i love florida but i hate how humid it is here. cali rarely has hurricanes or the humidity florida has so

[balmy vine]

It’s all ant the alumni networking icl

[zenith ocean]

linguistics is my intended major

[balmy vine]

Like that’s why Harvard grads are so successful

[zenith ocean]

yep

[stone remnant]

haha yeah

[balmy vine]

Cool! Gl I’m applying for Marshall

[zenith ocean]

BRUH

MY TULANE AO

LEFT

WTF

[stone remnant]

uc would be so nice for me though, only 20k compared to a lot of the private schools with 60-80k

[stone remnant]

wdym

[zenith ocean]

bro what

[balmy vine]

Good luck with it!

[stone remnant]

OH WHAT

rip

[stone remnant]

thanks!!

[zenith ocean]

thasts so annoying i just sent her an email too

[balmy vine]

No wayyyyyy omg

R u guys both doing rd/ed2?

[stone remnant]

hopefully still shows demonstrated interest

[stone remnant]

rd

[zenith ocean]

thats so not fair

[zenith ocean]

i was gonna ed2 but imma just rd

[balmy vine]

Fair enough

[zenith ocean]

it juist sucks because a new AO wont be able to compare my apploication before to now

im gonna call admissions jnext week about that

[stone remnant]

oh right..

[zenith ocean]

cause that isnt even fair

[stone remnant]

yeah hope they help

[zenith ocean]

my app has improved so much since being deferred and another ao wont get it

[balmy vine]

I’ve literally never contacted an AO I have no idea what to say ever

[zenith ocean]

especially since i JUST developed an awesome relationship with my AO who just left

[balmy vine]

That really sucks I’m sorry

[stone remnant]

samee

[stone remnant]

:((

[balmy vine]

They’re always like “show DI by contacting an ao” and I’m like but tf do I ask

[stone remnant]

ikrr thats why i try doing interviews if they are available

at least i can showcase my emotions in some sort of way

[balmy vine]

I lowkey fucked up w rice bc I didn’t do any interview but I’ll try and get their second round

Did TU have interviews?

[stone remnant]

oh noo, yeah as long as u get one hope ur fine

[stone remnant]

oml i never saw any lol

but i very well could have missed smth

[balmy vine]

Also is that the chess player who got into all that drama as ur pfp😭

[stone remnant]

HAHAA yess

[balmy vine]

Neither I wouldn’t worry

[stone remnant]

phewww

hans niemann is a legend, suing so many ppl rn

the drama is great

[balmy vine]

Also all my DI for Tulane was going to the zoom things and doing their dumb quizzes on the emails they send so like it’s so chill

[stone remnant]

Oh shit i didnt do any of that

[balmy vine]

He’s soooo funny and what I found is to me he looks a bit like the FTX guy as well

[stone remnant]

hope im not fucked

[stone remnant]

oh yeah LOL everyones saying that

[balmy vine]

You have time just sign up to their emails and go to a few of their zoom things you don’t even need to be active in it just watch

[balmy vine]

No wayyy I’ve been the only one when I’ve told people so far haha

[zenith ocean]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/pu8r0a/ultimate_ranking_of_the_top_100_colleges/

imo this is the msot accurate list

[zenith ocean]

uh why is ucla above usc ??!!

fake list

[zenith ocean]

id put ucla over usc tbh

if anything they shld be tied

yeah fair

only thing they have over us is the food

make sure i get into usc

and maybe name recognition

[zenith ocean]

ill dontae a building for you

well usc has the better alumni network

[zenith ocean]

ty bb

we will see if i get in ea

highly doubt it

but we shall seez

hopefully

im praying for you

i got deferred from priority last year

but i never knew the outcome because i withdraw all my apps in like feb

u got it this year tho

praying for jan 23rd fr

[twilit rune]

i’ve never seen a school so batshit over yield protection. it’s like a crazy gf/bf making sure ur not cheating

[tulip holly]

true lmfao

hey, you gotta do what you gotta do

[tulip holly]

I dont mind lmao

also congrats to football fans outhere - historic victory by tulane

[balmy vine]

Could I join it even if I’ve not committed yet

[shy seal]

Tulane 🌊💚

Merging all decision types here

[abstract oasis]

ye

i havent commited eitehr

[tulip holly]

was about to ask

[abstract oasis]

My msg got deleted

i dont really wanna manage a server and stuff imma make it but not like make it elaborate and stuff

[placid sphinx]

Lalo my favorite coc strat

[abstract oasis]

u going to tulane?

[hollow cedar]

let me in please

[balmy vine]

There isn’t one :(

I’m making one now

If anyone wants the link - it’s a super basic server and I’ve never run one before bug yeah just PM me !

[hollow cedar]

omg i love running servers ive done it multiple times!

but yes link me pls 🙏

[balmy vine]

I didn’t realise @abstract oasis has already made one! Probs better to use theirs

[hollow cedar]

@abstract oasis my hands are out for the link. also are you committing???

[balmy vine]

I sent it to u

[placid sphinx]

I got in EA but for now I’m waiting for more college decisions

[zenith ocean]

I got deferred ED1 waiting for reg

[balmy vine]

Same

[twilit rune]

Did the EA accepted ppl do a lot of demonstrated interests

?

[balmy vine]

I opened their emails/did the quizzes they sent, and I went to a few of their online information sessions, nothing else

[placid sphinx]

I think I got lucky in terms of DI, I added them a week before applications were due but I signed up for their newsletter in junior year

In the same vein casewestern was one of the few schools I did an interview for, and they were the only one to defer me

[abstract oasis]

Im waiting for the Deans scholarshiip or Fafsa to commit

Definetly my top choice just to expensive rn

But im really confident in my submission a made a 5min+ well edited video

a lot of people dont do submissons for Deans honor bc its harder to do than the Paul Tulane and Community service so I should be competing against less applicants too

Im nervous asf but my friends and teachers say im 100% getting it

also I can make u server owner idc

[abstract oasis]

I folowed their insta page and sent one email to my counselor but he never replied. Thats all I did

I think u should focus on the Why Tulane essay a lot

A dude from my class with a terrible GPA got in but he went to visit and emailed the counselor the point where the counselor said stop spamming me

so it depends if ur nervous abt ur stats or essays definetly show a lot of interest

[mental aspen]

i got deferred from tulane ea😭 i want to get in so bad they specifically said i was deferred because of my finances and i don’t think my finances are changing in the regular round… do i even have hope anymore

[abstract oasis]

how tf did they say it was bc of finances

[mental aspen]

wait i’ll send a screenshot

[abstract oasis]

im broke too 😭

[mental aspen]

i’m international so 🤪

[abstract oasis]

mmmm

Im from Puerto Rico but thats in the US

an island

owned by US

[mental aspen]

right

so can u file the fafsa?

[abstract oasis]

yep

We're like foreigners in a sense but we have like all the american benefits

like culture here is super different and we speak spanish

its basically like GTA here ngl

ppl do anything and cops dont do crap

so super different to US

Show me ur Letter bc i find that super weird

[mental aspen]

sorry it’s super weird on phone

[abstract oasis]

dude

thats because u didnt apply for a full tuition scholarship

They have 3 scholarships

Paul Tulane

Community Award

and Deans honor scholarship

[mental aspen]

i applied for all 3😭

[abstract oasis]

WHAAT

bro

apply RD

and email ur counselor asking if ur application for them is still considered

[mental aspen]

i low-key may have just gotten rejected because i’m not good enough but i will stay in denial and pretend it’s because i’m broke

[mental aspen]

yeah they said they’re considering me in RD

[abstract oasis]

no bro they literally said finances

[mental aspen]

but they told me not to apply ED2

[abstract oasis]

they dont say that to everyoine

[mental aspen]

yea i’m consoling myself like that 😭

[abstract oasis]

Dude what did u submit for the deans honor btw?

[mental aspen]

“while your achievements are within our ranges”

[abstract oasis]

Also what are ur stats

bc its harder for international students stats wise too

I got in test optional with a 3.88 GPA

but I go to a super hard IB school and they know my school is the hardest in the island

[mental aspen]

we don’t do gpa but i have a 38/42 predicted

it did drop this term but they don’t have those grades yet so

someone else from my school got in with a 20k scholarship

ALSO CONGRATS BTW

[abstract oasis]

I got in with no scholarship

but even if i did i wouldnt have used it bc it wouldnt have been enough

and if i got deans scholar it cant be combined with other scholarships

so literally counting on the video for my future

What did u do as the creative project?

@mental aspen

[hollow cedar]

god i wish i had applied for scholarships

i didnt think they were going to say yes like tf...

[twilit rune]

should i bother my tulane AP

AO

what should i email them

i wanna get in for bragging rights

[tulip holly]

Yup

It’s the reason I got in probably

I also met my counselor during college fair and we chatted about Tulane and stuff

[twilit rune]

ngl tulane is like my third choice

[tulip holly]

Pft same here

It’s sweet that I got in tho

It was my first choice at the time, so Ig I really tried to put forward that I wanted to go

Then I changed to EA last second

[twilit rune]

I only went to one info session but i thought my essays were okay

ok i followed them on instagram

[tulip holly]

What plan did you apply under?

[twilit rune]

EA

i just spam liked @onlyattulane instagram ☠️

do u notice me do u notice meee

[tulip holly]

💀💀

[abstract oasis]

lol

Ithink essays carried my app I had little demonstrated interest

[tired relic]

when is loci due

[abstract oasis]

loci?

[tired relic]

if deferred

[abstract oasis]

idk

[hollow cedar]

oh tell them you like tulane a lot and do the tours

and ask them very specific questions about like. places near the university

get really personal

[twilit rune]

☠️ hmm ok

[hollow cedar]

like "what do u like to eat at (restaurant)"

[twilit rune]

i signed up for a virtual tour but got no email confirmation should i sign up again

[hollow cedar]

and also "have you been to an event that (club) did"

[twilit rune]

ooo

[hollow cedar]

yeah you definitely should sign up again lol

[twilit rune]

i spam liked 3 tulane instagram accounts

☠️☠️☠️ LET ME INNN I’ll BE THE I G G Y

[hollow cedar]

😭😭😭

[balmy vine]

Hi! Did anyone here get into their honours program? If so are you going to one of their weekends?

[abstract oasis]

I didnt apply to any

[tulip holly]

i mean if altman counts as honors, im applying so

[whole frost]

Yes and no

[round blade]

How long do we have to send the LOR if deferred EA?

I need to write mine but was waiting until I had something substantive to put in it

[severe shoal]

starting tulane

its a pretty short app right

i have reusable essays

due midnight tmrw?

how to show demonstrated interest 😭 i attended one sesssion what else can i do othe than those

[round blade]

More sessions, email your AO, (virtual) tour, idk I got deferred lmao bc I didn't show enough interest ig

Make your why tulane essay really good too

[abstract oasis]

Only like 100 ppl get in RD

[severe shoal]

why am i even applying

ig no app fee just to get rejected

[round blade]

I have somewhat official confirmation it will be many times higher this year. In the range of 300-500

Still pretty shit lmao

[balmy vine]

The essays are quite long but I got in EA with ones that didn’t even hit the word count I think my first one was lik 470 and the second barely hit 400

[balmy vine]

Have you signed up to their mailing list? If so always read the emails, tap on ALL links

[tulip holly]

For Tulane, if u apply RD, your chance's will be pretty slim - they've been pretty adamant about that I think

[zenith ocean]

Lowkey decided I'm not doing it

I don't think I'm interested enough

And RD sooooo

[severe shoal]

i figured since no app fee ill toss it

but i wont even bother to check for a decision tbh cuz ik its a reject 😭

[snow hinge]

LOL same

[icy idol]

When should the continued interest form be submitted by

for deferred studenrs

[stable smelt]

Probably around late feb

Oh the interest form should be right away. The update email to the admissions office updating them on what you have done in the meantime and how you've become better should be around mid feb

[abstract oasis]

I recommend calling

[round blade]

Shit I’d better do that soon

[zenith ocean]

deferred ea applicants who applied for dean and/or paul tulane award will get notice of admission and award in mid-late feb!

this is what my AO said

[tired relic]

oh yay! thank u sm

[abstract oasis]

i called them 3 times

Last time i called was thrusday and they said its looking like early march-late march

[zenith ocean]

thats most likely something about deferred to rd decisions and maybe they misunderstood u

pta and decisions for deferred ea always comes out mid-late fbe

[zenith ocean]

tulane ed2 coming out tmr at 3pm cst - good luck to you ed2 folks!

[abstract oasis]

Alan were u deffered?

[abstract oasis]

No cuz I didn’t say anything abt that I only asked abt the awards cuz I got in ea

[zenith ocean]

yeah i was deferred

i wouldnt take too much to heart what an admissions intern says over an ao since the ai dont usually know asd much

[abstract oasis]

True

Alan which did u fill out Paul or deans?

[zenith ocean]

paul

[abstract oasis]

I did deans

[zenith ocean]

pta and dean i believe come out the same day

but i could be wrong since u did deans it might be march for u

[abstract oasis]

I went crazy

[zenith ocean]

idk

[abstract oasis]

Might be

From what I’ve heard they don’t come out the same day

[zenith ocean]

then thats probsd

right

[abstract oasis]

alan what were your stats when u got deffered?

@zenith ocean

[shy seal]

damn we had an icon ready for yall but you didnt get it bc no one corrected me in #1048131949367144448

rip

i had yall listed as feb 1

[zenith ocean]

can we see it

[shy seal]

you can see it if you remind me during rd

[balmy vine]

Congrats to anyone who did ED2!

[abstract oasis]

lemme know if u got in ed2

[abstract oasis]

GRREEEEEN WAVEEE

[hollow cedar]

ROLL WAVE ROLL WAVE

@abstract oasis hey have you had to contact the finaid office at all?

[abstract oasis]

Mmm

They said to fill out some stuff back in like early Jan

That’s if

I should hear soon on my scholarship tho

[tired relic]

when does rd come out

[abstract oasis]

April 1 I think

[zenith ocean]

probably a little before that

[round blade]

How do you send additional info? Or am I too late for that. I don't see a way to upload the document

[tired relic]

i think it may be a bit too late

[balmy vine]

For RD?

Usually by end of feb is fine

[whole frost]

Anyone hear about Paul Tulane or deans honor scholarships yet

[round blade]

Yes RD. But I can't find a spot to upload in my portal

[balmy vine]

I’m not sure sorry I did EA

[round blade]

Me too but they deferred me lmao

I'll email my admissions person probably

[balmy vine]

Yeah I was gonna say sending an email is probably ur best bet

[frozen monolith]

somebody called them and it’s pushed back to mid-march

[abstract oasis]

its gonna be this week

did u apply for both?

[tired relic]

oh crap this week??

do we know when

[abstract oasis]

^^^^^

[hollow cedar]

yes! march 1

i did virtual bienvenue tu and it was honestly the best

[tulip holly]

I did half of virtual bienvenue tu

Was pretty sick

[hollow cedar]

did you see owens opener?? i missed it

[tired relic]

can people who got deferred ea still get the scholarships if they applied? or is it like not gonna happen

[round blade]

Yes. But it's gonna depend on why you were deferred

The scholarships are part of a separate review too. So if they decide to give you the scholarship, that is, of course, gonna get you admitted

[tired relic]

ahh gotcha, thank you!!

[tulip holly]

Yeah it was really good

He definitely sold me a lil

[whole frost]

Yes

[hollow cedar]

uggghhh!!! i wish i had seen it owen is lowk fine

[abstract oasis]

Owen is crazzy man i love him

i was in there too

the luke guy dancing in the zoom was crazy

I turned on my cam a couple of times so yall mighta seen me

was this one of yall asking that?

if i lose the DHS im banished to the shadow realm

and wont be able to go

[fast nymph]

some tulane deferred ea decisions come out tmr + signature scholarship notifications

good luck!

[fast nymph]

yes, deferred ea candidates will get considered. if you dont get the scholarship though, it is still possible for you to get admitted @round blade

ill try to find the screenshot, but in past years people have had notifications where they didnt get any of the signature scholarships but still got admitted

completing the scholarships gives a leg up as demonstrated interest

[tired relic]

ahh gotcha, thanks sm!!!

[fast nymph]

found it, some looked like this @tired relic @round blade

2021 notifications came out feb 1st and last year they came out on feb 9th or 10th

[round blade]

So they're much later than usual this year

[fast nymph]

thats what its looking like

[round blade]

I didn't send my LOCI until early Feb so I'm sure I was too late

[fast nymph]

the zoom said by 3/1, but a convo i had with them via email, they said they're aiming for the end of this month or the week after

[round blade]

Considering the EA decisions released in Dec

[fast nymph]

so anywhere from tomorrow through the 10th it can come out. but from whats been said, so far its looking like tomorrow or wednesday

[frozen monolith]

wait some deferred ea decisions come out tomorrow? 🤯

[abstract oasis]

alan which one did u apply for

this is mine

[round blade]

I applied for both. My Paul tulane one was decent but my Dean's honor was absolutely awful. I was panicking at about 11:20pm on the day it was due trying to come up with something

[abstract oasis]

damn

u can still win a scholarship tho

like they reward u for filling it out sometimes

[abstract oasis]

what do u think of mine

[round blade]

That's really nice! I think you have a great project. You definitely kept to your theme of technology + box. I hope you win!

[abstract oasis]

i love you

im so scared

if i dont win i cant go so im really praying

[round blade]

Did you apply for Paul Tulane?

[abstract oasis]

no

cuz #1 my gpa isnt crazy, Im not a crazy writer, no time and theres less awards, and im way better at making videoes

I have crazy good rec letters, Million community service, Leadership in Red Cross and Student Council President and MUN, 3.7 Gpa in a Fully IB school, Volley Captain and more stuff, and my essays for admission were crazy and Ive called them like 8 times and Legacy

hopefully its enough

[round blade]

Did you get in already EA?

[abstract oasis]

yea

[round blade]

Nice! Looks like you have some good stuff in addition to a good scholarship application

They deferred me EA idk how 😭 I rly thought I'd get in

[abstract oasis]

yea ig

im a minority too

latino

idk i really hope maaan

im puertorican

and nobody has won here ever

[round blade]

Oh wow

Yeah that'd be cool

[abstract oasis]

yea

but do you think i have a good chance

like just eye balling it

obviously we dont know shit

[round blade]

Idk they didnt even accept me lol so my tulane judgement may be way off. I don't want to give any false confidence. Let's just say you put forth a strong application that gives you some chance to win

[abstract oasis]

did u have better gpa than me?

[round blade]

I had 3.97 GPA, 1560 SAT, and legacy

[abstract oasis]

💀

they def thought u not going

so they yielded u

thats what u get for being so smart

😭

[round blade]

Idk I did quite a bit of demonstrated interest

Optional essays

Scholarships

Virtual tour

Info session

[abstract oasis]

is it ur top choice?

[round blade]

Nah

[abstract oasis]

lmao

[round blade]

I only applied for the scholarships

[abstract oasis]

thats nuts tho

something is sus abt ur app then

cuz if u did all that

u shouldnt have gotten reject

i did wayyy less interest

[round blade]

Nah cuz I got into UNC and ga tech oos

[abstract oasis]

like

emailed once and followed their insta

thats it

💀

cuz i didnt think id get in

[round blade]

Tulane is just weird ig

[abstract oasis]

lets hope im the weird they want then

[round blade]

I'm hoping for you

[abstract oasis]

made a thumbnail and everything so i can make it public when i win

if i lose i get banished to the shadow realm (iowa state)

[round blade]

Does everyone do videos for the dean's honor schol?

[abstract oasis]

no

some do art and stuff

[round blade]

Because I did a Google doc lmao

[abstract oasis]

but videos u can say so muc more

[abstract oasis]

oh naaah

[round blade]

I made it in 30 mins 💀

[abstract oasis]

damn

u lost fs then

[round blade]

I was hoping the rest of my app would carry

Because

They look at scholarship app and common app

[abstract oasis]

ive seen shitty projets win

but not that shitty

like they were trash videos

[round blade]

Yeah I'm not winning Dean's. I have slight hope but not much for Paul Tulane

[abstract oasis]

well lets hope u get in too lmao

u probably get crazy merit with those numbers

[round blade]

Their merit caps at like 28k I think

And then maybe something for National Merit Finalist

But it's all good I have schools I like better now. And a fuck ton of RD results I'm waiting on

[abstract oasis]

whats ur top choice rn

[round blade]

UNC for now

[abstract oasis]

noicce

Tulane is my top rn

[round blade]

Tulane seems so nice

[abstract oasis]

2nd is probably like Marquette

[round blade]

Just super vibrant

[abstract oasis]

or catholic in DC

but theyre both wayy worse than tulane

[round blade]

Damn never seen anyone talk about Marquette here

[abstract oasis]

academic wise

They gave me a ton of aid

and they basically guaranteed me a scholarship i applied for

[round blade]

I live in Wisconsin but it's such an afterthought compared to UW. Not to say it's a bad school

[abstract oasis]

not bad but id definetly be like a shark in a pond there

with my 3.7 im like a god there

at tulane my 3.7 im a plebian

[round blade]

Lmao

Isn't 3.7 like median for tulane

Or 3.8

[abstract oasis]

idk

there super inflated rn

tulane stats are super fake

[round blade]

Fr

[abstract oasis]

class of 2026 was 8% acceptance

thats so bullshit

[round blade]

Yk why

Free app

Optional essays

[abstract oasis]

and I have a friend from my school who got in with a 3.4 gpa

[round blade]

Everyone in Louisiana applies

[abstract oasis]

but tbh he did dick suck

and spam

and call and in person visit

until they told him stop spamming us

lmaooo

[round blade]

That'll do it lol

[abstract oasis]

yea

anyways

@abstract oasis didnt u get into dartmouth tho?

[abstract oasis]

no wtf

my frind did not me

[frozen monolith]

im really hoping scholarships come out today but i feel like they won’t

[fast nymph]

no luck today

maybe tomorrow (:

[frozen monolith]

what time would they come out at?

[fast nymph]

actually im wrong, we still have a chance for it to come out in about 30 mins

last year it came out at 4pm cst/5pm est

[frozen monolith]

ahh i see

[fast nymph]

2021 it came out a little before 6

yeah disregard anything i said, we have a chance for something today

if not, most likely tomorrow

[frozen monolith]

interesting

i’m hoping it’s today because i’m tired of waiting 😴

[round blade]

Anything yet?

[fast nymph]

nope

[frozen monolith]

i called admissions

they told me it should be by tomorrow

[fast nymph]

looks like it will be tmr then yeah

[tired relic]

guys I'm manifesting for all of us

[frozen monolith]

🙏

[whole frost]

What time do u guys think they’ll come out today

[frozen monolith]

probably 4-6 EST if i had to guess

[round blade]

Will some people get accepted today without getting a scholarship?

[frozen monolith]

that is a great question!

[tired relic]

I believe so but not 100% sure!! that's what happened last year so I'm assuming it will this year too

[fast nymph]

agreed
