[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tulane getting huffy and punishing so many other students from this high school is childish and unethical.

Not that Tulane interests me, but now we have one less reason to consider it.[/quote]

Tulane didn't do this to the junior class, the high school counselor did. The Junior class should demand that person be fired and that the school withhold the offending students' transcripts. Then maybe Tulane will be able to trust the school, take the school and its students at their word, and change course. No college wants to admit unethical people and if you are coming from an unethical high school, its a huge red flag.[/quote]

Oh Lord. No one including you knows exactly what happened. What if the kid's financial situation changed and could no longer afford the tuition? What if the kid is sick or got injured and needs to take a gap year; or whatever reasonable reason that we don't know about?  At the end of the day, it was Tulane who decided to punish an entire class of innocent kids and families which is practically extortion.  Stop blaming the HS counselor for that. [/quote]

Read. The. Article.

The kid should have provided some explanation, even a made up one.

[i]In a statement to The New York Times, Tulane said Colorado Academy had failed to uphold the expectations of the early-decision agreement. “[b]A last-minute withdrawal without explanation[/b][i][u] unfairly impacts other applicants who may have missed opportunities due to the limited number of early-decision offers a university can make,” the university said.[/i][/quote]
