Thank you, @aewlmom!
Its also possible they didnt have enough volunteers to handle the requests.
Anyone submitting the community service scholarship application? I thought in years past it was due in January but notice the website says today! I’m wondering if they changed it or if the site is incorrect.
It was due by today…
so for those of you asking about when EA desicions are out, the director of admission, Jeff said in his blog that our portals will be updated the 19th at 3:30pm and that letters will head out late December.
the link to his blog is this: https://tuadmissionjeff.blogspot.com
I love his blogs
Has anyone received information on how to log onto the Gibson Portal?
Yes. My son applied on 11/11 and received an email about the Gibson Portal on 11/15 (Subject line was: “How to check your Tulane financial aid status”) with user ID and PIN. He set up the Gibson Portal account but there is no financial aid info in there yet. Somewhere up on this thread (I think) others noted the same… and suggested that financial aid info etc. would not appear until sometime after admissions decisions.
@aewlmom did you file a FAFSA? We haven’t gotten anything about gibson portal.
@Illinoismom23 Yes. We did file a FAFSA.
@Illinoismom23 I don’t think my D got an email about Gibson Portal, but there is a box on the right side of her applicant portal with the link to it and the login info (username and PIN). Logging in only shows Tulane news, and an admissions officer told us that it won’t be populated with financial info until/unless she’s accepted. We filed the FAFSA.
So my daughter applied EA. She wasn’t asked to do an interview, but did get a packet today about how to finance your Tulane education. Did anyone else get this? We haven’t received this from anywhere else ahead of a yes (or no).
@afbratmama – Yes. We received… at least a week ago, I think. But I thought it looked like standard marketing materials??
Yes we received it too. I agree- standard marketing flyer on how to pay for Tulane.
S does not have impressive stats, but has shown a lost of interest; also was chosen and attended the PreviewTU fly-in. Don’t know if that may have created false hope.
lot of interest*
This was my take on the email, too. My daughter is on the strong end for test scores and grades, as well as arts achievement, and we got the email. We interpreted it as “here’s your opportunity to go ED if you’ve had a change in circumstances since the first deadline.”
As many people discussed this last year, has anyone tried the ED2 button? Mine still works : (
My D’s ED2 button still directs to a form to fill out. Last year, did that mean a rejection?
Where is the “ED2 button”? Is it on the portal?
@kittycat1203 yes on the top right of the portal
