<p>I know I don't really have the greatest stats but please chance me!</p>
<p>Well, there are so many variables in admissions that it is really tough to say. I assume the 4.0 is weighted, knowing your unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale is better, then tell us how many AP courses you have taken and will have taken. But based on what you tell us and some reasonable (I think) assumptions, I would have to rate Tulane as a moderate reach for you. Your SAT scores are on the low side is the most pronounced weakness. A lot will depend on how strong your other factors are and how much interest you show in Tulane. Definitely worth applying, but stay realistic about your chances.</p>
<p>Agree with FC. Are you planning to retake the SATs? And if your 4.0 is in the top 20%, that would be weighted, yes? And I have to ask, as my curiousity is getting the better of me. Invisible children? Do explain :)</p>
<p>I have a 4 on AP lang test and this year I am taking AP lit and AP microeconomics. My unweighted gpa is 94.8. And this is what invisible children is, [Invisible</a> Children - Home](<a href=“http://www.invisiblechildren.com%5DInvisible”>http://www.invisiblechildren.com)</p>
