News Flash: Your stats are not low. Only in the rarified virtual universe of CC would anyone deem those stats to be “low,”especially in light of the fact that you are the captain of the football team and editor in chief of the school newspaper. You are competitive at all of those schools. For Tulane, show lots of interest. Talk about how you might perform service in the New Orleans community (huge consideration at Tulane), how you will take advantage of the school’s various academic offerings to carve out an interdisciplinary approach to your education that jives with your career aspirations. Discuss how you might get involved in research as an undergraduate. Tulane also loves anything multi-cultural, especially achievement in foreign languages, so emphasize that as well. Best of luck!
Wow, you are awesome that makes me feel so much better; and thank you so much for the advice with Tulane!
