Tulane Law Applicants 2012-2013 Cycle Forum

[JLA]

Hey Guys! Congratulations on your admission! I started this group in hopes of networking within our incoming class. Everyone at one point or another has probably searched on Facebook for a group like this so I went ahead and created it. Please invite others that you know have been admitted! Congrats again!

In.

3.41/151 AA URM
Been complete since late December.
Unsure of tulane but still a nice option to explore.

I'm so tempted to visit just because of NOLA!!

[nirvanah]

Just got my admit too would totally attend if money situation were to work out. Like you, Im tempted to go to asw at least! Im still in undergrad though, and taking two days "off" during undergrad would kind of suck. Im actually almost regretting not waiting till the year after undergrad so i could go to asw to several schools!

Are they sending schollys in a different email or with the admit packet? I didn't see any info about it

[nirvanah]

Im hoping they send it with the packet. I havent seen anything about it either. Their little site for admitted students had more info in it than many other schools ive been admitted to. The "financial aid" section only listed the types of aid you could get, nothing specific. Im so tempted to go visit. Im in Dallas, so the travel stipend would cover my trip out there completely

I got the scholly in the welcome email and also in the snail mail packet.

the scholly comes with admit packet but I called in and was told that they are not going to give me any merit based aid. Unsure if they usually send it over email but I would jut call and ask.
As for me, the chances of me paying sticker at Tulane when I have an acceptance with W&L and pay less there (although not a lot less but COL there is much much cheaper) are very very slim.

[nirvanah]

Definitely not attending at sticker. It's ridiculously expensive. Tulane has a good reputation in the south,and nola would be a fun place to live...but no way. I dont think a school other than T6 is worth sticker- and that too is debatable! (unless you're mega rich, and only need a JD to work for your family or something)

Withdrew, hopefully this opens up a seat and/or some scholarship $ for anyone still waiting!

[lambert8]

Anyone have any thoughts on the ASW?

Anyone have any thoughts on the ASW?

Would be interest to hear. Got their tote bag today. Pretty cute.
Still not enough for me to pay sticker

[lambert8]

I was there on Friday but couldn't hang around for the tours on Saturday. Anyone know if I missed anything important?

[Psib337]

I withdrew a few days ago, good luck to everyone still waiting!

You didn't miss anything really big. We either chose between a walking tour of campus or a session on the academic program that morning. I chose the academic session. In that he basically just went over the outline of the three years of school and what all was offered each year. Then we took a bus tour around Uptown and he showed us different places to look for housing.

[lambert8]

Thanks sounds good. What'd you think of the ASW as a whole?

I enjoyed it. I really liked sitting and talking to Professor Davies, the maritime law professor, at lunch. He was very informative. Friday really wore me out, they threw a lot of information at us. The weekend definitely moved me more toward Tulane. What did you think of it?

[lambert8]

I can agree with what you said about Friday wearing you out, they packed a lot of stuff into one day. I thought it may have been better if they broke up the first day by doing the tours then so at least you weren't sitting inside the whole time on a nice day. Other than that I liked what they had to say.

[geauxtigers2009]

Yea that would have been better.

[greenwavelawyer]

Hey all, Tulane 1L here. Congrats on your admission. Ask me anything you like or send me a personal message, I wish I would have known more about NOLA and Tulane after I got admitted. But rest assured, you'll love it here!

[togepi]

I've been complete since 1/16. Starting to get annoyed that I have not even been waitlisted to see where I stand.

[nolabreeze]

Withdrew with $$. Good luck to everyone! Yall will love NOLA

P.s. if you happen to be in nola the last weekend of March, it's the crescent city classic 10k! i'll be there running!
