Awesome! Good luck! I actually did get a generic rejection e-mail yesterday saying they had a record number of applicants, very competitive, blah blah...I'm slightly surprised but in my case I did not submit what they had said was an optional portfolio, so I'm considering asking them to look at it again along with a portfolio submission....I had a 3.85 undergrad GPA, decent GRE (1280), a thoughtful essay, etc...none of my recommendation writers were Tulane-affiliated though too, so I wonder if that hurt me a bit. I asked if I could still attend the grad open house for info and they were cool with that, though...we'll see... In any case for you, whatever happens, don't give up or feel bad. But I hope you have good news...they may just be slow! Keep those spirits up and don't be afraid to ask questions, I think the people there are very nice.

What program are you applying into? I just checked my e-mail now, nothing still - argh! I will hope and pray for good news for you, too...may call them this afternoon again just to see where they're at and see if I can get a "when can I reasonably expect a response" date + time. Good luck + good wishes!

I'm also waiting on Tulane, still - though I applied to the Masters of Preservation Studies program. I called them on March 16th and was told "oh, yes, it's been delayed until March 21st" - which has come and gone now, so...I don't know. Honestly, I think they're just kinda slow - the week they were initially supposed to inform applicants well during Mardi gras break - go figure But until you hear for sure...don't assume anything!! Fingers crossed

I'm still waiting on Tulane, too - but for a program in their School of Architecture. When I submitted my application, the form says that "all applicants will receive notification of their status on March 10, when our admissions cycle is officially over." So March 10 came and went...and then I saw something on their website that suggested March 15th would be the date of notification. I finally called them on March 16th to ask if there was simply a general delay and was told, "oh yes, it's been delayed til March 21st." I felt better, but as March 21st has come and gone and so has the 22nd for the most part....come on, Tulane! Let us know, already ...anyone else just feeling a bit impatient about the whole process by now? I'm nervous, but I'd reaaaallly like to know - and would really love some good news, of course...

New to the forum but watching a bit - only applied to Tulane rather last minute for their Masters in Preservation Studies program...I was under the impression that notifications were to be sent out via e-mail today - yet still no word! Ugh...anticipation...anyone else apply to Tulane's program and hear back yet??
