Tulane Admissions Acceptance Rate Sham?

Do we have any indication of acceptance rates by ED/EA/RA?

Seems like they have hit the winning formula of “Collect Mass Applications/Increase conversion rate to ED/Factor yield into EA/RA admission by heavily weighting demonstrated interest”.

Somewhere in their strategy must be a prioritized FA commitment for ED, since ED families simply can’t attend if EFC isn’t met. Certainly explains the general move away from merit offers. They are up to their eyeballs in that demographic anyway, so why “give” away money? Use it to “guarantee” EFC and pump up those ED apps!

Sounds like the winning strategy. For now, anyway!
