Tulane University (2023-2024)

[slender zenith]

the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the overly squeaky wheel gets replaced!!

dont freak out -- you can do this + roll wave!!!

[gusty quiver]

Merit scholarships just released, did anyone win anything or no?

[hidden mirage]

I got the academic recognition one but that was in my letter

and nothing from today unfortunately

[round sage]

I forgot to fill out the continued interest form 💀💀

[gusty quiver]

bro is not getting in

[sacred flint]

Blessing in disguise IAIN’TGONLIE

[round sage]

💀 they def put me in the auto reject pile

[graceful quartz]

When does this come out

[west vale]

What is Tulanes “real” acceptance rate RD?

[formal venture]

9%

[west vale]

Like not the “hurr durr I’m not gonna submit an essay” acceptance rate

[formal venture]

ED is like x>50%

[west vale]

Like the Fr Fr one

[formal venture]

No idea

But I usually do all the optional stuff

If you want to get into Tulane 100x, early decision is the best option but I wouldn’t recommend doing that if you’re applying just for prestige.

Because RD is worse than Cornell

But ED is like easy.

62% of the incoming class was literally ED

[plucky forum]

oh shit it came out

[vocal zenith]

Good luck y’all!!

[plucky forum]

waitlisted

to be fair i didnt write a single supplement

[vocal zenith]

I will most likely be withdrawing my acceptance soon so someone can get off the waitlist

[vocal zenith]

Yeah that’s a big red flag for tulane bc they place a big emphasis on demonstrated interest

[gloomy pulsar]

I got waitlisted

which is a W in my books

[drowsy bobcat]

i got waitlisted!! i applied early action and wrote a letter of continued interest in the optional box but i wish i wrote my admissions counselor as well; i wondered if that would have made a difference. excited to be waitlisted from one of my reach schools though!!

[gloomy pulsar]

💚 Tulane has a place in my heart fr

I will be declining my spot on the waitlist tho

[rapid summit]

Waitlisted - accepted the spot

[strange apex]

.gracie. asks: What was your Tulane RD decision?

1⃣: accepted
2⃣: waitlisted
3⃣: rejected

[gusty quiver]

see y'all at Tulane or best of luck at other schools

UF and Columbia are great schools

[gloomy pulsar]

yall did my Tulane tour guide screw me over by insisting I submit a 30 to tulane rather than going TO

[vocal zenith]

Maybe

Depends on the context of your high school

[vocal zenith]

You too pear! Tulane’s an amazing school but unfortunately they couldn’t provide me with enough aid

[gusty quiver]

yes, im pretty sure the admitted student stats are a bit highre than a 30. its not too much of a disadvantage but i think you would have been better off going test optional, but regular decision DOES have a 1% acceptance rate, so that could also be the reason

[gloomy pulsar]

I thought it was 13%

[gusty quiver]

oh i got a pretty good offer with the louisiana promise so im going. if they didnt have that promise i never wouldve went. all thats left for me to do is survive high school and not get rescinded

ROLL WAVEEEE

[gusty quiver]

regular decision is WAY lower than that

[gloomy pulsar]

jeeeez

I wanna know the waitlist %

[gusty quiver]

according to the class of 2027 article on it, 4000 students got a waitlist offer, 2000 accepted the offer, but the amount they accept ranges from 0 to 50, and under the best circumstances, the waitlist admit rate should be like 2.5%

oh wait

theres an article of the class of 2028 that just dropped lol

apparently theyre taking more RD students

[gusty quiver]

and yeah they did screw you over, the average ACT was a 33 and most people admitted were test optional

[gloomy pulsar]

I mean like how many are offered a spot on the waitlist

[gusty quiver]

well the article says the same thing

[gusty quiver]

they don't state

they just say they accept 0 to 50 students

[little abyss]

bruh

[little abyss]

they deferred me ea what made them change their minds 💀

my loci was deadass 3 sentences abt my grades and this new ec I did 💀

[gloomy pulsar]

Jeeeeeez congrats!

[round sage]

I GOT

rejected 😋

oopsie daisies

[little abyss]

hey @gusty quiver did you get your fin. aid yet?

[terse veldt]

Got rejected w a 1520 👍

Thats what happens when ur an intl ig lol

Ight 16 schools left

[sacred flint]

You can be rejected with a 1600

That shit isn’t the make or break

[fiery adder]

real

[fiery adder]

are u asking for aid

[hidden mirage]

congratss

[gusty quiver]

they gave me a full ride cause I'm an instate with financial need so I'm doing GOOD.

It's great to see that they're fixing their RD round though, ig they saw everyone catching onto their admission games and the whole yield protection thing

you got like double my merit award though, just how good was your application ?!

[terse veldt]

yes

[terse veldt]

obviously im not stating otherwise but my sat is much higher than the average

[fiery adder]

that's not a sign of anything tho

1600s get rejected all the time too and 1400s get in all the time too

[fiery adder]

well

thats how it is

[terse veldt]

i didnt say it was a sign of anything please 💀 im only saying that i got rejected with a higher sat score than the average and thats it, im not implying an undertone that 1400s dont get in all the time

[fiery adder]

i see

[little abyss]

DAMNN GG BRO

[little abyss]

idk bro I submitted a 3 sentence loci when I was deferred

i honestly gave no fucks abt tulane after I was deferred 😭

[gusty quiver]

yeah and i saw you got into Harvard and Yale anyway, you seem to be thriving lol

im only going to tulane cause i dont wanna go far from home and theyre the best option thats the closest to me

roll wave 💚 🌊

and cause theyre one of the only schools that kinda have my desired degree program (homeland security) and cause i like the culture over there and i like their curriculum

[little abyss]

so valid

bro with a full ride too

[gusty quiver]

easy double major over there

even triple major

[little abyss]

tulane is perfect for you

go do some great shit over there

[gusty quiver]

what im saying

[little abyss]

you deserve it pear

[gusty quiver]

thats the plan

[gusty quiver]

thank you

[little abyss]

I still remember the days before EA decisions 😭

we were talking and talking

LMFAOO

[gusty quiver]

that was one of the biggest moments of my LIFE

[little abyss]

u deserve it bro

[gusty quiver]

after i got deferred from northeastern i just gave up and committed

[little abyss]

😭

nah full ride is crazy def dont pass that up

[gusty quiver]

only college that said "i want you" and gave me an actually good offer

[gusty quiver]

oh i wont

[gusty quiver]

and thank you

[little abyss]

keep doing great things

<3

[gusty quiver]

you too bruh

[zealous plinth]

i got waitlisted

[gloomy pulsar]

it happens to the best of us (me)

[keen acorn]

Something to be proud of. It may seem bleak, and while it can be; it's amazing that they even considered you as a worthy candidate.

Being waitlisted is an opportunity to improve & successfully make ends at an institution

[terse veldt]

its not an opportunity to improve tho

its just like having a main chick and a side chick

u want ur side chick there but u dont want her too close

[gusty quiver]

alright honestly

im losing reason to stay in this server since i already committed and officially no longer applying to college

anyone committed/currently at Tulane want to stay in contact for when we actually go to school? i think it would be cool to go to college already with a friend group or something idk we can give our instagram or something

but other than that I wish all of y'all the best, it was great talking to you guys on here about Tulane and it was nice spending the nights and hours before the decision releases
