So I have heard back from both Tulane and Colorado College, got into both again. Tulane offered a fatter scholarship this time round. Tulane doesn't have to hear back till june 1st. Colorado College was supposed to have a postmarked decision by May 5th. CC sent the letter to montreal instead of nashville, and I didn't find out until may 5th that I had gotten in. They gave me an extension until this Friday to issue a decision via email to them, but I don't hear back from California schools (Pomona/McKenna) until next Thursday. CC is also strictly against double depositing (saying yes and then withdrawing later, because it holds up the waitlist people). And I understand and agree with policies against double depositing the majority of the time, because at that point you have been issued a decision of some form from all your colleges. Unfortunately transfer deadlines are all over the place, so I don't think it's fair for them to request a decision so early, it would be as if you only had an early action option, and no regular decision. So I'm a bit twisted up decision wise.
