<p>CollegeBoard needs to update their numbers, that first year acceptance rate for Tulane is incredibly wrong. It must be from 2006, the year directly following Hurricane Katrina. For 2008 the acceptance rate was 27%.</p>

<p>And to the OP, I got into Tulane and Emory as a transfer student with a 3.8 from a really small 4 year university in Louisiana. I got scholarship money at Tulane, although I think they’ve cut their transfer scholarships since then.</p>
