Tulane Admissions Acceptance Rate Sham?

I happened to see on the actual results thread that you applied to 31 (!) schools @alexandra00. As did many other students (so many on the same thread applying to 20+ schools). This is part of the problem IMHO - there is no way one needs to apply to so many schools (and take spots that might otherwise be offered to others), and this is contributing to the overly competitive admissions problem.

Tulane correctly predicted that you (and so many similar applicants) would not attend, and made their decision accordingly. Tulane is not “messing with some numbers” for RD applicants, they are wisely offering admission to candidates who they think will actually attend. Anyone who is genuinely interested in Tulane will do their research and understand that applying EA and/or ED is pretty much the only way to get in.
