<p>Please chance for Tulane? I'm really curious and I've heard different things about how selective they are...
From a general public high school....</p>

<p>APs!: AP Lang & Comp (predicted score: 5), AP Government (predicted score: 4/5), AP Macroecon (predicted score: 3/4)..
My senior year I will be taking AP Physics B, AP Bio, DE Pre-calc H, AP Lit</p>

I also was placed on the Arizona All-State team, which is like, based on best performances in each round. We currently meet for 10+ hours a week. I will no doubt be president next year.</p>

<p>Low level competitive horse back rider: I started riding my freshman year, currently have a horse and we are competing at low level dressage shows..</p>

<p>SOoo. Yes, please chance me. I really love the school and want to be a PoliSci major. Thank you!</p>

<p>Tulane: Reach (don’t expect merit aid)</p>

<p>No expectations of aid. I was just wondering if it was a reach even worth applying to.</p>

<p>Tulane seems reachable…</p>
