Letter of recommendation from an alumni

Does a letter of recommendation from a teacher who graduated from Tulane do anything to help with acceptance? In addition to my 1330 sat (I haven’t taken the act yet but I will next week, I’ll probably get around a 30). My uw gpa is 3.5 and my weighted is 4.20. I’ll be color guard captain next year most likely. I’m applying ED in the fall for sure, and I’ve demonstrated interest by emailing my admissions counselor.

@iamanxioushelp Every little bit helps but if I were you I would do Khan Academy exercises every night and get that SAT up. That will make the biggest difference.

I would not do Khan Academy but Prep Expert hands down. Check them out - I have no financial interest to be clear and my kids have taken different classes and Prep Expert the best

@Nolamom2021 Prep Expert costs a lot of money and Khan Academy is free. Nothing against Prep Expert, I just always hesitate to suggest solutions to kids on here that cost money that they may not have. My son and his friends all ended up raising their scores from the 1300’s and 1400’s to scoring in the 1500’s just using Khan Academy.
