<p>You will get into all those schools no prob. You are the kind of student those schools are looking for. In a number of diverse activities.</p>

<p>PS Sara says hi!</p>

<p>You have an excellent school ranking, GPA, and impressive extracurriculars. That should get you into Tulane.</p>

<p>In my opinion, I don't think your current SAT score will get you a scholarship. My daughter is in Tulane and based on her scores and her peers - I think you need to pick up your SAT's to at least 1300 (1350 preferred) for math and reading, and at least 1900 (1950-2000 preferred) for all three parts to be considered for a partial academic scholarship. If you can get to 1400/2050 you are probably looking at a potentially large scholarship (2/3 or more). </p>

<p>Tulane will look at your extracurriculars more closely than other schools because of Katrina and the fact that the students who go want to perform and actually must perform community service. </p>

<p>Good luck with your search and hopefully you improved your SAT scores. Make sure you visit Tulane - you will be extremely impressed.</p>

<p>Hey I have a 1820 on my SATs now!!!! Please help me!</p>

<p>With an 1830, you will likely get into Tulane now. 1830 puts you in the lower part of the middle 50% of scores - in other words - you probably will have higher scores than about 25% of the entering class. I don't think you will not be eligible for an academic scholarship - if that matter to you.</p>

<p>I think you are also now well-positioned for the other schools listed - you will likely be accepted to most or all of them.</p>
