Good essay with specific details and a specific story told.
I will apply very early.

What are my chances of Tulane right now with this info. Tulane is definitely my top choice. Please let me know if I have a good shot, or if this is a reach. I know my ACT is a little low and I don’t have phenomenal extracurricular, but what kind of chance to I have.

I am an Illinois resident and will be applying early action as soon as they begin accepting applications.( I have already had my transcript and ACT score sent there.)

Also, I am from Illinois and will be applying Early Action!

And what I meant to say was that I also doubled up on honors upper level science classes my senior year too.

4

Also, class rank is 38/229

5

My school does weighted gpa on a 4.5 scale and not a 5 scale.

I think it could go either way, your scores are at the low end, but your EC’s are decent. I think applying EA will help a bit. Good luck.

I know my ACT is at the low end, but I believe mu UW GPA is pretty good. I thought I read somewhere that Tulane’s avg UW GPA is 3.49, do you two if that is correct @jjrrdd

8

I meant to say do you know if that is true? @jjrrdd

It’s an accurate unweighted GPA. Although GPA is a factor, it is important to note that ACT scores are as well. You can always retake the ACT; there are three opportunities to do so before college applications are due.
