Do I have a chance at getting into Tulane?

Regular Decision
Major: undecided- Premed
GPA: 3.75 UW/ 4.61 W GPA
SAT:1800 (combined)
ECs:
President of Art Honor Society
Member of: National Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, National Social Sciences Honor Society
-Candidate for Silver Knight (community service based award in Florida)
-Tutor for kids at local church
-Have a non profit community service project that I funded. It is based on Malala and her messaging of women’s rights for education. I live in Miami so since there are so many immigrants coming here from Venezuela and Cuba they don’t really know about the SAT and ACT and the whole college process here. So I offer them free SAT/ACT Workshops (paid for and arranged by me) and do seminars and presentations for college tips and tricks/ motivation.
-Sport: used to play club volleyball freshman and sophomore year of HS. It got expensive so I left.
-I have 1300+ community service hours
-Have received awards for my community service from the former president of UM (Dr. Shalala) and from others (POTUS Presidential Service Award).

Classes:
7 APs: AP English lit and lang, AP Spanish lit and lang, AP Studio Art, AP us history, AP microeconomics. The rest of my classes have been mostly Honors (with 1 or 2 regular classes due to unavailability for Honors level)
My teachers didn’t really know me that well so I feel like their recommendations were fine but nothing out of the ordinary. My counselor’s recs were pretty good i think because they both have a good relationship with me and know me better.

Hooks/ ABOUT ME: Female, Hispanic, parents are immigrants (from south america). My dad lost his job last year but got a new one in another town so he doesn’t live with us anymore. My mom lost her job this year. My dad is a mechanical engineer and my mom is a journalist for a Colombian newspaper. I am lower middle class as a result of these unfortunate events.

I applied to: Northeastern, Boston College, Boston Uni, and Harvard and got rejected from all 4 of them. I was hoping I would get at least into BU and BC. I am still waiting on UM, Tulane, Dartmouth, Brown, UVA, and GWU.

Please let me know what you think my chances are!

if you haven’t yet been admitted to your state school and these are all ‘hopefuls’ that you’re waiting for, you may want to apply to a school with rolling admissions. Make sure you get in somewhere. Hendrix College has a great reputation and is still taking applications. It doesn’t like like any of those schools would be a safety (though I don’t know what what UM is)

I am guessing Miami (FL).
