@Wolfy2915 It’s easy to get frustrated and/or confused with how acceptances and denials go since nothing is black or white and so hard to predict. Ours did get accepted EA to Tulane, but was waitlisted from U-Miami with a 4.45 and 33 (34 superscore) and extracurriculars probably even stronger than grades. So if you’re thinking Tulane is a sham, it’s certainly not alone. These smaller private schools got around 40k apps for just over 2k spots, so they have no problem waitlisting kids that either they don’t think will accept, or won’t be a good fit. I have a very unscientific theory that the AOs at Miami and Tulane compare lists, because it seems like there were so many examples on this board that kids got accepted to Tulane and not Miami and vice versa. I’m sure it’s probably not the case and I’m likely overanalyzing, but there were so many examples I saw on this board it did get me wondering lol!
