Does anyone know if you can get a merit scholarship at Tulane for high SAT scores or do they also factor in GPA?
They factor in gpa as well and I’m sure how well written your Why Tulane essay is.
It appears to be about an equal balance of GPA (and in with GPA is rigor of coursework) and test score. When one looks at the partial merit scholarships and the data provided by the students, one can see the same award given for a high GPA and somewhat lower test score as for a high test score and a lesser GPA. Chopinspiano might be right about the Why Tulane for some cases, but they do give merit awards for some students that didn’t write the essay but fit Tulane very well, i.e. are not likely to be taking Tulane as a safety. It is pretty much stat based.
