<p>Do you know your class rank? It would really help. I know your school, and it does have a reputation for being hard, but as you said, your GPA is pretty low.</p>

<p>I’d say Tulane is a high match/low reach, but it’s hard to say without some context for your GPA. And of course it would help your chances if you could get a 33 or >2100.</p>

<p>To be honest, I’m not exactly sure about my class rank. But I would guess at least top top 25% .</p>

<p>Oh yea, I forgot to add to the Course Section- Art History
Extra Curriculars- Movie Review Club</p>

<p>Tulane is slowly moving into “reach-for-anyone” territory. Are you applying early action (single-choice or not)?</p>

<p>Tulane: High match</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply Catria</p>

<p>Also I will apply either Early action or Early Decision</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance.
Tulane has gotten much less competative post-Katrina (and frankly it was never super-duper-selective prior).</p>

<p>@soze: You could have said Tulane is not that competitive back in 2007 or 2008 but not this year anymore…</p>
