@emrgilby

You seem like a strong applicant. I would be surprised if you don’t get accepted with a partial scholarship offer. I don’t think you said, but I assume you did the Why Tulane.

And yes, it is awesome that Carville is on the faculty. His class is hard to get into, as you might imagine.

Good luck! You actually have to interview to take his class! He didn’t teach this semester so I imagine there are tons of applications for the spring class!

Thanks for the info! I did write my Why Tulane & I’m pretty happy with it. Tulane is my #1 choice so I really hope I get in!
