<p>It appears that you have the stats to get into Tulane. Have you showed interest? Did you submit the “Why Tulane” essay? Have you visited the school or a local meeting with the rep?</p>

<p>I only became really interested this fall so I haven’t visited; I live outside of Seattle, also, so not exactly an easy trip haha! I have the online application because I got credentials in the mail. I have not submitted my application yet but I am definitely answering the Why Tulane essay. I have done a lot of research on the school and especially with the personality of New Orleans, I am really excited at the possibility of acceptance at Tulane. Thanks!</p>
