I also applied to and attended PreviewTU, Tulane’s multicultural fly-in program. I’ve shown lots of interest and met my admissions counselor in person multiple times at my high school and at Tulane. Tulane is one of my top choices and I would love to go if I get in!
What are my chances of getting in, and what are my chances of getting merit scholarship money?
