You are right smack in the middle of Tulane’s applicant pool, statistically speaking, but be careful. Tulane rejects over 70% of applicants, including ones with stats significantly above its average. Why? They don’t indicate enough interest in or knowledge of the school, or they are not the right fit in terms of the community service orientation of the school. (New Orleans still needs a lot of help, and Tulane is vital to that process.). Write the Why Tulane essay. Familiarize yourself with the departments and indicate an interest in studying under a particular professor and conducting research with him or her. Good luck. Those are all great schools.
