Tulane Admissions Acceptance Rate Sham?

@doglover2001 my S19 was accepted at Miami and Tulane with good stats. He is a legacy at Miami through his grandfather, so perhaps that helped a bit. I don’t think the schools share lists. I will say I was surprised that my son was offered a nice merit package from Tulane and nothing from Miami. I think that is why S19 took Miami off his “favorites” list almost immediately after his acceptance.

Tulane became a strong contender after attending an information session in our area. The admissions rep did recommend applying EA and that applicants should definitely answer the Why Tulane essay.

If a student applied to 31 schools, I find it hard to believe that student was unaware that Tulane offered EA. Less than one minute on Tulane’s Admission site provides that information.
