This is the official discussion thread for Tulane Class of 2030 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
EA decisions are set to drop tomorrow. If Tulane is consistent to past years they will defer a good number of applicants to the RD round and follow up with a series of emails “to increase your odds consider shifting your application to EDII.”
For those that got in EA, congratulations to you. For those deferred and sticking with RD, the acceptance rate though RD is historically in the low single digit %.
Tulane’s Net Price Calculator should give a relatively close approximation to the students expected family contribution.

Do you know if Tulane gives merit aid to ED2 applicants? Some schools do not. Thanks!
Dunno about Tulane, but most schools do not give Merit Aid to ED or ED2, as they don’t need to. Merit aid is simply marketing money trying to entice kids to choose their school. If you are applying ED you have already chosen the school.

At Tulane info session, they said they do give some merit money to ED students (didnt specify ed1 vs ed2) but that they give more to EA so if you are looking for merit, apply EA.

Ill add to what the others have said that merit does not stack into aid. Merit only helps you if it gets you befow the EFC.
