<p>@fallenchemist thanks for your insight. You have been so helpful. I know you can’t technically help with this answer but I would love to know what you would do if you were in our shoes. Starting this weekend, we will visit our son’s three schools that he received offers from and were his second choice schools. We have gone back and forth whether we should add Tulane on this visit, just in case we get the acceptance (we’re optimistic!). Our biggest concern is that we think our son should concentrate only on his three schools. But we look at it in two ways, if we get the acceptance, we don’t have to rush down to NOLA, we would have already visited the school and we would let his admissions counselor know that we are serious in accepting the offer. Or, at this point, all is too late. Just wait and see what happens, and if he were lucky enough to get that acceptance we’ll cross that bridge then.</p>
