<p>@wrongturn88 - Your chances look very good, I see no real weaknesses in the things you have listed. Just make sure you do the “Why Tulane” essay and attend any local events Tulane might have in your area. Or of course visit campus if possible. Assuming there the rest of your resume is as strong as what you list (mainly recs), you appear to be a great match to Tulane.</p>
<p>Now are you still considered an incoming freshman or would you be considered a transfer student? I am guessing the former.</p>
<p>I might be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that Tulane does not accep credits from community colleges? </p>
<p>Thank you both so much. Tulane is my first choice. I “met” them at a local college fair near the end of my sophomore year. I have been in contact with the admissions rep from my area since then, and have a ticket to visit at the end of August. Thank you- your encouraging words have made me so much more excited about this school. 
As far as my status goes, I would be a “freshman with credit”, very similar to a student who has gone through dual enrollment. @fallenchemist, you have been my North Star in learning about Tulane. Thank you for helping so many people, including myself. :)</p>
<p>@dolphnlvr6, I am not sure if they will accept these credit or not, thank you for bringing up this point. However, the college I attended does have a conversion chart to most schools in the academic advising office. I found Tulane’s, and was able to convert my classes to ones they offered there. It added up to 11 credit hours. I will check with my advising office, and someone at Tulane shortly. Thank you. :)</p>
<p>My son is entering Tulane as a freshman with 12 credits from the college where I work and there are two forms that have to be completed and you have to send in course descriptions. It does say on the transfer credit page that credits from community and junior colleges are not accepted. I would contact your admissions rep at Tulane to verify this. Good luck! </p>
<p>@dolphnlvr6 Thank you for this information! I really appreciate it. Congratulations on your sons acceptance! </p>
<p>@wrongturn88 - Thanks for the kind words. I will only add to what dolphnlvr is saying that having credits coming in is nice, of course. It gives you more flexibility in course selection, being able to fit in a double major, things like that. But it isn’t a make or break kind of thing, Lots of students come in with no credits and do just great, including multiple majors. I also see you have taken several AP courses and are scheduled to take more, so you might go in with a fair number of credits anyway.</p>
<p>Regarding your visit, end of August is the start of the semester, so depending on exactly when you are going I am not sure you will be able to sit in on a class or see the school as it typically is. Any chance you could shift that to a few weeks later and see the school at a more “normal” time? Just a thought.</p>
<p>Based on what I have heard from my friends and my own scores, you should get into Tulane with a good amount of merit scholarship. Just based on what I have heard, students with a 29-31 received between 22000-30000 in merit scholarships. Of course that does not go for everyone applying, but from the people that I asked that is what they got. Once again, these numbers change from year to year. Good luck! </p>
<p>Just to be clear, those merit scholarships aren’t based on test scores alone. GPA, rigor of coursework, and other factors are taken into account. That said, if those factors line up with a good standardized test score, Tulane is one of the more generous merit scholarship schools.</p>
