Got Deferred...What are my chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University

<p>I know so many kids are probably doing this, but if someone who has either gotten into Tulane or has any admissions experience could take the time to look at this I would be very greatful.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.68 unweighted
Rank: #322 / 1482</p>

<p>SAT: Critical Reading 590
Math 600
Writing 630</p>

<p>ACT 26</p>

<p>All the classes I have taken since junior year have been IB, and I've taken an IB and AP exam in every single class.</p>

<p>I've been in a clinical rotation program where I spent 6 weeks in the Emergency Room, 6 weeks in a nursing home, and 6 weeks with a spinal surgeon.</p>

<p>I know my rank isn't where it should be and my SAT and ACT are low. I do have Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, and I've been told that does have an effect on grades.</p>

<p>I am eager to hear a reply.</p>

<p>If you went on pure stats your chances would be very iffy. Given your special circumstances, I know I am not qualified to ascertain how much they change, if at all. I have my doubts if anyone on CC is, but maybe. Perhaps your best course of action is to schedule a trip down there (especially if you have not visited yet) and make an appointment to talk to your admissions counselor while there. Where are you from?</p>

<p>Thanks for responding. I’m from Dallas and I have actually already visited Tulane. I wrote an email to my admission’s officer explaining my special circumstances already. I am kind of leery to send her anything else, as I don’t want to overload her with information</p>

<p>I’m also a full IB Diploma candidate. I don’t know if I already said that</p>
