Tulane is truly one of my top choices and after being deferred, do you think it would help to send a letter of continued interest???
Absolutely. That is the only way to tip the scale from deferred to accepted. You must show interest!
Absolutely agree with @DebmomNY. You need to stand out from others that have gotten deferred and a LOCI is one way to do that. Also, they are huge on campus visits but they understand that logistically that may not be possible. Perhaps you can request the opportunity to do an interview with an alumni. Good luck!!!
