<p>I got accepted yesterday. When should I expect my formal letter to arrive?</p>
<p>Congrats! And no clue.</p>
<p>It varies a lot right now, apparently. At least based on the anecdotes on here. 1-6 weeks seems as close as one can call it these days.</p>
<p>I got my formal letter today! Took them a week, not bad!</p>
<p>I got 20K to Tulane!</p>

<p>Wow, fallenchemist, you know me better than me, lol.</p>
<p>LOL, I don’t think so. I have been compiling a chart comparing the statistics of a student and the size of the merit award Tulane gave. So I was looking for yours anyway and there they were. Quite excellent, btw. You should be very proud of your achievements. You got the Founder’s Award, right?</p>
<p>So it looks like you are looking strongly at USC. If you got in to USC but got no scholarship, what decision do you think you would make?</p>
<p>I’ve noticed. You’ve become the Tulane guru on CC. Keep up the great work!</p>
<p>Yes, I love USC’s program. It’ll have to be a financial decision that my parents and I have to make if I don’t get any scholarships from USC. Like most students, I want to go to the best program I can get into with the least student loans I have to accumulate.</p>
