I think you have a good chance as both your ACT score and GPA are 75th percentile and applying ED, especially this year, will be a big boost to your application. BTW, applying ED is the ultimate showing of “demonstrated interest” so you have no concerns there. Tulane is big on community service so show that in your application (if you can). I give your odds of acceptance in ED at greater than 50%.
