@jlopez98, while you are correct that Tulane has rejected many uber-qualified candidates based on fit or interest, you are not correct that it is a low match for the OP from a statistical perspective. The median ACT is 30-33 (I believe slightly above that of Michigan.), so the candidate is right smack in the middle of the pool. The GPS is also toward the median. Only 25% of applicants have been accepted thus far. I would therefore hesitate to say that the OP has a “high chance” at Tulane or any of the other schools listed. Conversely, she has a good shot at all accept perhaps Chicago and UC Berkeley. She just has to figure out where she really wants to go and then show a lot of interest and fit.
