@socaldad14 I’ve been following your posts as I feel that everything you write, could be me writing them. And lo and behold, we are still in the same boat! Like you, we are also from So Cal. My son has been blessed getting into great schools and we are happy and proud. But we have this nagging feeling looming over us because Tulane still remains his first choice and are in limbo until we hear a definite answer from Tulane. We are also taking our spring break to visit the schools that have accepted him. Like you, we also fret that if he were to get that acceptance email in mid-late May, we would have to fly out to NOLA at the last minute and am afraid that experience won’t be a positive one. There won’t be the welcoming mat for us and no special orientation. We actually thought about adding Tulane on our college visit, but it seems that might just add salt to the wound. I guess my biggest regret with all this, is that we should have gone to visit Tulane months ago. I think that would have eased a lot of my angst. Who knows we may be flying out with our kids on the same plane sometime…

My son will stay on the waitlist and will (if he hasn’t already) send Jeff (yet another) email. Good luck to your daughter!
