<p>Your ACT score is by no means low. I know Tulane cares A LOT about a student’s interest (mostly because it has a low, low yield rate). So, if you really want to go, just show a lot of interest. </p>

<p>I had a GPA that was a lot lower than yours, and my ACT was the same score (except my 25 was in Reading). Hope that boosts your hopes a little.</p>

<p>Well that is a bit of help, since Tulane is my first choice school and I am very interested in attending. So thank you!</p>

<p>Would anyone like to comment on my chances of getting in? Also, I would like some help in finding a college that is a good match for me, if that’s all right. Anyone have suggestions, preferably colleges in the Southeastern U.S.?</p>
