<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what TuLaNe tends to like for music/language/etc. majors: </p>

<p>*GPA: 4.09 weighted (going to rise)
3.82 unweighted (same)
*Rank: 31/317
*SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
*ACT: Taking it June 10th.
*9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 2 B's on my transcript and 1 b+), 10th grade i took 2 honors but got A's across the board, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors class.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/interesting facts:

<p>My guess is no problem with admission, and if you can get your SAT/ACT scores up, especially critical reading, maybe good scholarship money (maybe even without that, but try to get them up, anyway).</p>

<p>I would imagine that your SATs would need to come up a bit to qualify for merit aid, if not just for admision. Tulane seems to be heavy stat influenced. Otherwise, everything looks good. As far as I know, Tulane doesn't really discriminate for different projected majors.</p>

<p>your ec's seem...average; Hope you do well on the ACT, otherwise you'll need to either raise your SAT's drastically (at least to a 1900) or be more active in your most important ec's (esp. choir). Maybe you could try SAT II's, many people do better on those because they are more narrow and subject-oriented. Great GPA, though (I got in with a 3.34 uw), Good luck!</p>
