<p>Does anyone know whether Tulane will accept credits from previous colleges? I've been accepted as a freshman applicant, but by the time I graduate, I will have earned 115 college credits (on a quarter system). Will Tulane admit me as a sophomore or junior, or at the very least waive some of the distributional requirements?</p>
<p>I don't go to Tulane yet, so don't hold my word on this, but I'm pretty sure they will waive their requirements with previous college credits. Besides that, I'm not really sure. You've earned a lot though, so it might be in your best interest to email them and ask, just because with most colleges it's determined on a case by case basis (I think).</p>
<p>To find out semester credits, divide by 1.5. So you have 76.5 (we go by half units, but very few classes end in .5). There's no cap, but I bet they might surprise you with on. Your case is pretty rare. </p>
<p>You'll have to submit syllabi. 60 units are required for residency.</p>
<p>In the offchance ALL of them are accepted, you'd be considered a second semester junior.</p>
<p>But the most likely placement would be that only 101 equivalents will transfer and you'd be at most a first semester "freshmore".</p>
<p>Thanks ellie.</p>
<p>TrojanTransfer-
Will I really have to submit a syllabus for each of my classes? (or at least the classes Tulane accepts).</p>
<p>Yeah, for each class so that they can determine if they would accept it or not.</p>
<p>If you list a few, I might be able to tell you if they probably count.</p>
<p>Like math, only stats/calc and above would be accepted.</p>
<p>For English, they can't just be "composition" classes, but they have to be specific like lit before 1800, after 1800, U.S. lit, anglophone lit, etc. And they have to be specifically named something like that, not just "English x01" or something.</p>
<p>For history to count, it can't be "world" history; it has to be at least by continent.</p>
<p>For economics, it has to be micro/macro, not something like "basic principles of econ."</p>
<p>Sciences need labs.</p>
<p>For language, you'd have to take a placement test.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn't know Tulane was so selective. UWashington will accept my degree outright.
Most of the classes I have taken fulfill Tulane's requirements, though my only English classes are 101 and 102.</p>
<p>Other classes I've taken are:
Environmental Biology w/lab
Physiological Anthropology w/lab
International Relations
Public Speaking
Spanish 121,122,123,221 (I know I have to take a placement test)
US Hist. 131,132,133
Intro to Sociology</p>
<p>Would Tulane prefer descriptive or inferential stats?</p>
<p>I think either is fine for stats.</p>
<p>In that list, the only one that may or may not transfer is Public Speaking.</p>
<p>Everything else looks fine.</p>
<p>If you major in Anthropology, your archaeology would probably be considered a non-major elective.</p>
<p>hi I'm new to this site. I cant seem find up to date info on Tulane. I am a sophomore at a highly competitive high school (Top 10 in Houston Area). I was wondering what do your stats have to look like in order to get into trinity. What GPA, class rank, sat..etc? What is the most important thing Tulane looks at?</p>
<p>Thanks again
-andydandy</p>
<p>Andy all I know is most Tulane freshmen are in the top 10% of class, with an average ACT of 31.</p>
<p>And I've taken</p>
<p>English 101, 102</p>
<p>and College Algebra (100,101) and College Trigonometry (taking this semester) and it is math 112</p>
<p>Andy: Average GPA is about 3.6 or 3.7. ACT isn't that high. 27-31 is the median. SAT is about 1800-2100 (off the top of my head, but around there). Class rank isn't that important. Top 25% is usually good enough, but of course, you should do your best. I'd say the essay is important for a decision if you're on the border, but your hard stats are the most important for scholarships.</p>
<p>FTS: Algerbra/Trig won't transfer.</p>
<p>English probably will, depending on the syllabus.</p>
<p>Why didn't you guys just take APs? It's so much easier for everyone...</p>
<p>School here doesn't offer APs. Now I'm about to go commit suicide because I've been killing myself taking college algebra on a laggy tv screen for a half year and it won't ****ing transfer..</p>
<p>Haha yeah. I took a bunch of APs instead. I'm hoping it'll atleast make me a 2nd semester freshman coming in and get me out of all the intro/requirement classes! :D</p>
<p>I could have taken classes at a nearby college, but AP was so much cheaper and almost guarenteed to transfer.</p>
<p>My daughter took three dual enrollment classes at the local college during high school. Tulane accepted all three. She did not have to provide a syllabus only the description listed in the college catalogue. </p>
<p>Tulane will consider you a freshman if you are first year, sophomore if you are second year, etc. However, they will give you "privileges" based on your number of hours. During my D's first semester after they verified all duel enrollment and AP credits she was allowed to bring her car to campus since she had enough hours to be a sophomore.</p>
<p>You know what? I confused the transfer policy with USC's. Yes, it's just a catalogue thing.</p>
<p>But what I said will probably or probably not transfer is in the ballpark. They do have to match a similar course, and grades DO NOT transfer.</p>
<p>Public Speaking/Algebra/Trig probably won't transfer because they aren't offered.</p>
<p>And your class standing is based on hours, not years. The distinction hardly matters (like it might in high school). There are freshmen who live in the "senior" dorms, just because the freshmen ones ran out of space.</p>
<p>You can bring a car if you are 1) not a freshman 2) married 3) commute 4) have documentation that you are doing research or have an office job or something in or around New Orleans.</p>
<p>And FTS:</p>
<p>LSU would accept it, and I see you applied. Then again, you'd go for Spring Testing anyway.</p>
