<p>Tulane is a great school, and I know it's early, but i'd really like to know what my chances are, any responses greatly appreciated</p>

<p>I am a junior, I took the SAT once, no studying, taking it again next week with a prep course (hopefully a large improvement) but my first score was a 1930 </p>

<p>good public school in Upstate NY, top 20%, but school doesn't rank. </p>

<p>3.5 GPA UW with the hardest course load, numerous electives, I will graduate all honors with at least 5 APs and a lot of college credits. </p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:</p>

<p>4 years (2 JV 2 Varsity) XC, 4 years varsity tennis, 2 years indoor track
MUN club
Class Government, VP of class sophomore year and a lot of involvement with prom planning etc.
Femtastic gender equality club, involved in a lot of advocacy movements
business experience working for my dad's company (too much to write about here, good stuff though)
Entrepreneurial ventures (again, a lot of details)
Volunteer work with adaptive ski program, I help developmentally disabled kids ski
Camp Counselor all summer (following being a camper for 7 years)
7 week leadership summit last summer in which I helped developmentally disabled adults play sports and other activities.
Nominated for Boys State, will most likely be attending</p>

<p>Recs will be good i'm sure, and I will write a good essay.</p>

<p>I would apply as a marketing major with a minor in Government</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi,
I was accepted to Tulane early action this year with a 1930 sat(610W, 630M, 290CR) and a 29 ACT(25S, 29M, 30E, 33R). My gpa is a 4.08 weighted-my school doesn’t do unweighted. My ecs were similar: 4 years on the swim team(fall and winter) as well as 4years varsity tennis. I’ll have 6 AP courses when I graduate out of the 7 my school offers. I also created a library program my freshman year after volunteering since the fourth grade. I also got a merit scholarship.
Our stats seem similar so it seems unlikely you wouldn’t be accepted but with colege admissions you never know.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>As long as you apply early-ish next year (I’d say at least by the end of September) and express a lot of genuine interest by writing a good “Why Tulane?” essay, I’d put my bets on you getting in.</p>

<p>You should work to bring up that SAT, though, because then you could probably get a pretty good scholarship, since you seem to have solid EC’s.</p>
