Although the number of students applying through Early Action (non-binding), Early Decision 1 (binding), and Early Decision 2 (binding) rounds continues to rise, these applicant pools are still much smaller compared to the regular decision pool at top colleges and universities.

You can find some of my thoughts about college fairs here and I have more thoughts on that topic in a part 2 coming next spring. Notable fair moments included fairs so hot my glasses fogged (we were inside), accumulating an inordinate amount of water bottles in my car, eating some delicious food from very gracious college fair hosts, talking to students, parents, counselors, reps from other sc

Snap! Buzz! Wham! What are these words? And why do they represent so well the sounds that they represent? Well, those words are called onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia means the formation of words from the sounds they represent. Words like sizzle and cuckoo are great examples—the word and the sound are the same thing (or quite nearly).

If you’re reading this post, things did not go to plan. You applied to Tulane Early Decision or Early Action because you really want to attend the university.
