Tulane 2010 Forum

[twintipping_bumps]

For places to live, my favorite areas are primarily south of Claiborne and west of Napoleon all the way up to the river. In general, that whole area is pretty safe and within a mile or two of the law school. Places right around Magazine further down river are worth looking at, too. If you get a chance to visit, just drive around uptown a little bit and you'll get a good idea of the areas that you'd like to live. It's really not a big place. Doesn't take long to get your bearings.

And FYI, there are supposed to be some bike lanes added to St. Charles Ave, this spring, so that should help out as well.

Thanks for the info on good places to live, Nianlong. Good luck to others with scholarship details! Tulane is still my best option at this point, and I look forward to checking out NOLA; I continue to hear good things about the city.

No "Congratulations" or email to be found so I'm assuming its bad news.

I received an e-mail a couple of hours after my status checker changed to admitted.

Yeah, I heard it could take a couple hours, but I also heard that the status checker says congrats on it somewhere, which is not the case with me.

Decision Made: 1/11

Looks as if it doesn't say "Admitted" on the status checker, or we receive a "Congratulations" e-mail, it's a rejection. =(

Hope I'm wrong...

I went complete over a month ago, and haven't heard anything since. Was this just a mass email?

Thanks. Yeah, ED at Hastings. I would have to commit by Jan. 15th. It's too expensive for me.

I was super excited to see an email from Tulane, but then pretty disappointed it was just another email about being complete.

I'm struggling to decide between SMU(if i get in) and Tulane. I want to work in Texas, and I got into U of H, but after driving down there/hearing about the facilities... meh. I'll def. be attending one of the ASDs in Spring!

Hahaha. I know. I had to laugh at myself when I read the stupid status email and realized how quickly my heart was pounding. Sigh.

[SamSeaborn2016]

Status checker changed to "Decision has been made" today, 1/11/10. I've been complete since 9/3. From the sounds of it, I have a "ding" on the way. Drag.

does anyone know how difficult a 3.0 would be to keep at Tulane, I'm not sure of their curve although im researching it. figure id see if anyone had a quick answer. Thanks!

I am wondering this myself. I obviously want to have a GPA much higher than 3.0 and plan to earn such a GPA by working hard, but it would be a shame to choose Tulane on account of the generous aid and then loose my scholarship. The talk of "section stacking" I have seen frightens me. But most discussions seem to indicate this only happens in T3 and T4 - so probably not at a school like Tulane, right?

[Snoopy1216]

Whoo-Hoo! Acceptance packet came with a tote bag! (Plus scholarship and other AS stuff!!)

[gatorlion]

Status changed to complete (again), perhaps upon receipt of my Dec LSAT?

3.0, according to what i remember from the NALP directory, is just above 50%.
