<p>Concernedad...do you know the average stats for recipients of the scholarship? Also, what's your son majoring in? Is he planning to attend Tulane Med?</p>
<p>Tulane's DHS usually go to those with SAT's over 1450, some literature says 1500.</p>
<p>Where did you find this info? And the literature that says 1500? Also, do you know about GPA's, class ranks, ACT scores, etc of these people? Thanks!</p>
<p>My S is applying also. Here is a quote from the scholarship packet letter from Richard Whiteside:</p>
<p>The AVERAGE recipient scored a 1450 or higher on their SAT I.</p>
<p>I took this (AVERAGE) to mean that some scored higher and some lower FWIW.
Good luck.</p>
<p>Hi Tabby and everyone. Took an extended break. I have been very involved with helping my freshman daughter ease into high school. I think the scholarship hinges greatly on the project and all of those intangibles we talk about so often with the admissions process. I haven't posted stats for my son, but he was a DSA recipient, SAT I in the top 1%, 35 hours of AP credit granted, solid EC's that he showed commitment to, etc. What he didn't do was emphasize his project enough. In his defense, he was swamped with school and applications, but in hindsight, since he ended up going to Tulane, more effort was in order.</p>
<p>My advice is to go for it. You won't know until you try whether or not your scores and "intangibles" are what they are looking for.</p>
<p>Well hey there, Alongfortheride! Wondered where you were. I had a bit of trouble getting back on CC and had to change my name slightly. (The poster formerly known as Tabby) Hope your D is liking high school. Thanx for the info about your S and the scholarships. My S is in the midst of all that right now. He has his project all set and will be mailing it in during next week. Que sera, sera. Take care, Tabbyzmom</p>
<p>Yes, the project is a HUGE component of the DHS. So too, is showing how the Tulane community will benfit from his/her presence. My son's project not only showcased his talents, but the accompanying essay told the reader why he and Tulane were a good fit for each other.</p>
<p>And, in hindsight, it was also very sincere. Since arriving at Tulane, my son has lived up to the promise of his essay: he is involved in tons of school activties, and is now a member of the Tulane Emergency Medical Services team. So, I would add that along with the grades and a good project, a sincere estimation of how the school will benefit is also important.</p>

<p>I still don't get what they want for the project... Do I draw something on the little box or what? Also how can i make a 3d object for the project if i have to use the small box? I'm confused.</p>
<p>Don't get stumped by "the box". You can go to the College Confidential archives and look back to last year's discussions about Rice University's "box" on their appplication to see how some people interpreted the prompt "use the box to..." Rice's prompt is a little different but I think the whole concept and the purpose of the box is the same. </p>
<p>There is a wide range of approaches. There is no right or wrong approach. A lot of different schools use something like this. The main thing is don't let the box limit your response.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>LAGal. My son is majoring in Cognitive Studies, and he is planning on applying early to Tulane Med through the Creative Med. Program, but where he will wind up is way to early to tell</p>
