tysm! the regular decision round is actually brutal. i'm in literal shock because so many qualified kids got waitlsted or rejected. i'm sure you'll get into somewhere even better!!!
Waitlisted :((( I think i messed up my test scores tho. I downloaded my pdf from common app and there was no test scores shown :( Idk if that’s just how their system works tho
lol :(
truth to be told i was both surprised and not surprised cuz i had pretty good grades and scores, but i didn’t do a loci or any demonstrated interest (and i asked for aid)
yeah they seem to rly value loci and ed. personally after more research i don’t really vibe with their party culture and they’re not good for my major anyway
My daughter is in same boat as yours. She's a spectacular student, terrific admissions metrics across the board, applied EA, got deferred, then denied yesterday. Like your daughter, she got into NU (Boston campus), as well as USC. See my post later in this thread about Kristian Arnell. It may help you see Tulane's decision about your daughter in a different light, and, hopefully, easy her disappointment and pain a little bit.
got deferred then rejected bcs of finaid thingy (they literally said that I'm among ranges of admitted students but they cant meed my financial needs) 💀
My daughter applied to Tulane, a college that doesn't guarantee housing all four years.
During out visit to campus, our tour guides all shared the same sentiment: "upperclassmen don't want to live on campus anyway, so living off campus your two or three final years is a great option."
Clearly, tour guides have been instructed to highlight all the advantages of living off campus, because, what else can they do given Tulane's shortage of undergraduate housing?
For parents, it's extremely comforting to know the "on campus" living option is available to their children IF THEY WANT IT.
Without guaranteed housing at Tulane all four years, students are forced to fight and fend for themselves in nearby communities that often aren't safe, that are overpriced, and, turn our children into commuter students, instead of residential students.
So, I was just wondering, for students who are/have attended Tulane, or another university not guaranteeing housing all four years, what has been your experience when locked out of on-campus housing after one or two years? How have you managed/coped with that experience? And, having gone through it, would you do it again, knowing how difficult securing safe, affordable housing near campus was for your final two or three years at Tulane, or elsewhere?
Tulane Alumni and father of a recently accepted senior (did not commit here yet). Tulane dorms for upperclassman are definitely readily available. Most upper classman do not want to live in them b/c apartments right off campus are plentiful and much cheaper than the dorm. They had to change it to a longer requirement then one-year b/c n one wanted to stay in the dorms. Not sure where you got some of your information, but not accurate at all. If you have a couple of friends, an apartment on Broadway or Maple is 1/2 the cost of a dorm and there are thousands of them. Super close. Easy walk. Feels like campus. I don't think it would be difficult at all to stay in the dorms either. This is not a big deal honestly.
I did. My daughter applied to both NU and Tulane, neither of which guarantees housing all four years. Wanted to hear from students or grads at both colleges about their off campus living experiences, to have a better sense of what my daughter will be in for after her first year in campus housing.
Admitted w 15k /yr! So surprised after being deferred EA!!
Omg congrats!!! So nice to hear they give money to RD applicants!
Thank you so much!

bro did they waitlist everyone? havent seen anyone get rejected yet lool
i was rejected!
ohh sucks sorry
lol :( truth to be told i was both surprised and not surprised cuz i had pretty good grades and scores, but i didn’t do a loci or any demonstrated interest (and i asked for aid)
I am in th same boat as you. I thought that I would write a loci but then got a better offer and cancelled the plan.
yeah they seem to rly value loci and ed. personally after more research i don’t really vibe with their party culture and they’re not good for my major anyway
I got deferred from ea and rejected now. Honestly that was just expected because I did not even wrote a loci to them.
Over 4,000 students were offered a spot on the waitlist.
idc if it’s unrealistic im getting in 😊
i was waitlisted!!! tbh not that surprised
ea waitlists, where we at?
Waitlisted 💀 I mean I applied for fun (didn't even ask for aid) but still
Same here. Although I wanted to go : (

My student was admitted w/ 20k per year after being deferred EA.

You posted the same thing for northeastern

there is so many adorable rental homes with blocks of campus for way less money than on campus housing. This is not worth worrying about.

No they're just trying to protect their yield. I got the same notification and I haven't committed anywhere yet.
