<p>Hey guys,
I know this is a very frequent topic on here but I plan on applying to tulane this fall and apply for the infamous Deans Honor scholarship. I'm really not that creative but I can write a creative story. I have a 32 ACT, 2100 SAT, and 4.0 GPA. Will I have a chance of getting the DH if I do a creative story, or do I need to venture out more? It would help if some people who have actually won the scholarship would let me know what they did, you can PM if you wish.</p>
<p>If you’re good at writing, I would recommend applying for the Paul Tulane scholarship, which, like the DHS, is full tuition for all four years (five for architecture). All you have to do is write a couple extra short essays, and the prompts are creative. I won, and the essays I wrote were about my favorite childhood toy (marbles) and the place/time I would haunt if I were a ghost (Enlightenment-era coffeehouse).</p>
<p>By the way, if you apply early action, and Tulane admissions like you, they sometimes give merit aid, even if you don’t ask for it.</p>
<p>I was actually planning to apply for the Paul Tulane and the DH so I guess my real question was is it weird to do a writing project for the DH?</p>
<p>Not too weird, if you can incorporate the box into it thematically IMO.</p>
<p>Here is some past discussion <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/1007536-deans-honor-scholarship-tulane.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/1007536-deans-honor-scholarship-tulane.html</a> and if you look at post #12 you can see that my D’s project was mostly written but incorporated the box fluidly (and creatively, I say humbly) as well.</p>
<p>Here is another discussion, see especially page 2 <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/593661-tulane-scholarships.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/593661-tulane-scholarships.html</a></p>
