<p>Great Teacher recs, really, they'll be amazing.
My Guidance Counselor is basically telling them to let me in.</p>

<p>REALLY Wanna go there. Any feedback on chances?</p>

<p>I don't think you have to worry at all, they've had a lack in interest with applications due to the hurricane. I've heard of some people who already have acceptances that are below their averages for last year.</p>

<p>Dude... I hate to break it to ya... but Tulane... is gone... Atlantis style...</p>

<p>kidding, I have a friend who goes there. Good looking gal... if you were a guy, I'd give you her number</p>

<p>Ok, to make you feel better, I just got my EA acceptance letter from Tulane a week or so ago, my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.477 UW/ 4.02W
ACT: 30
Rank: ~66/550 (12%)
President of Debate (400+ NFL Points, national awards, etc)
VP of Law Club
Co-Capt. of Mock Trial Team
Job @ Public Library
etc...</p>

<p>So I'm guessing EC's have a lot of weight at Tulane....I have other stuff, but that just gives you a general breakdown of what you need to get in, I guess, since I didn't write any essay, lol. You're pretty much in from what I can see, good luck!</p>

<p>Wow, you didn't write an essay? I'm just excited since you and I have extremely similar stats and all I have to do now is my essay. I think I'll do it but not obsess or anything... btw, where else are you applying?</p>

<p>Well, I used their "Personal Application" where they gave me an EA decision in 4 weeks and waived the fee, I figured why not, so I don't think an essay was required, and if it was it was very brief. As for the other schools I'm applying to:</p>

<p>Boston College (EA)
Tufts University (ED I)
Boston U
Catholic U. (EA - extreme safety)
American U.
GW
U. of Richmond
Wake Forest
Brandeis </p>

<p>That's it, if you want to talk though, just PM me! :)</p>
