Sounds like he contacted the coach before the dead period. It’s more like a dead distance program.

They just can meet with a recruit.... email, text, phone is okay.
Did you ever get a response? What are your plans now?
Did you go to Tulane in the end?

Hey guys, I was accepted at Tulane early decision a couple weeks ago and I really want to walk-on their cross country team. I emailed Coach Peterson a couple times with my times, letting him know that I got in early decision, and asking for their team/walk-on standards and I have gotten no response! My high school coach tried calling him a couple times but it keeps going to voicemail and he can not leave a voice message. My junior year times are pretty trash (4:35/9:55) but I had a breakout cross country season and placed really well at my state championship. I’ve been receiving letters from college coaches with better teams but I choose Tulane for their academics. My coach and I are just confused because their team does not seem good at all and I could make the top 5 as a freshman. I just want an answer, even if it is that they have no roster spots or whatever! Is there anything else we should be doing? Any help is appreciated.

I ended up backing out of my early decision commitment because the financial aid offer was not very good. My family would have needed to pay significantly more than our EFC for me to attend Tulane. It was disappointing but I appreciate Tulane for being understanding throughout the process.
I ended up running 9:16 for the 3200 at a strong invitational which caught the attention of a few coaches, notably from some ACC and BIG 10 schools. I decided to accept a walk-on offer at a BIG 10 school because the coach helped me acquire academic scholarship money and an invitation into the Honors College.
To anyone on the Tulane program reading this: I wish you all the best of luck this upcoming season and I’m sorry if I came across as a douche in any of my posts.
Best of luck to you.
OAN - I feel that when one goes through the Early Decision process, the school has you somewhat over a barrel, as they can offer you less financial aid vis-a-vis with someone that might have been accepted with no strings attached. Anyone find this to be true?
