Tulane ED

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I applied to Tulane ED a few days ago, and I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty nervous. What are my chances?</p>

<p>GPA: 95.8% (private school, doesn't rank, unweighted)
ACT: 29 composite
EC's: Not Much. Opinions editor if Newspaper, been on it for all four years. Treasurer of German Club. I didn't really have time to do many EC's because I worked 30-40 hrs a week since sophomore year.</p>

<p>Oh and I also recieved the free personal application (where they waived the essay) without request, so does that mean my chances are increased?</p>

<p>If I don't get in to Tulane, what are my chances at the following schools (all EA)?</p>

<p>Pitzer
Case Western
Dickinson
Occidental
Gettysburg</p>

<p>My dad's a professor at Tulane, and I've had a lot of experience with the school. I'd say your def in, especially since they sent your a free app.</p>

3

<p>Why would you apply Tulane ED? You would be a great candidate EA, and they give money to EA admits. There is no incentive to give more than necessary financial aid to ED admits.</p>

4

<p>Doesn't matter. He already sent in the app. Too late now.</p>

5

<p>i think ur in</p>

6

<p>wow.... you guys are amazingly quick. I've never been on any kind of board ever with these kind of quick responses. </p>

<p>The reason I decided to apply ED as opposed to EA was because I have always wanted to go to Tulane (well, since high school started), and I figured I would was on the cusp of either acceptance or rejection. So I thought ED would give me a necessary boost. But do you guys think it probably wouldnt have mattered either way?</p>

7

<p>ummm you were deinitely not on the cusp at all</p>

8

<p>I wasnt? I thought that because my ACT (29) was one off their average and I lacked any cool EC's that I only had maybe a 55-45 shot. Have Tulane's standards gone down?</p>

9

<p>i understand your dad teaches there, you go for free, you like it, why the heck not apply ED even if you were a shoe in??? I agree with your decision and yea your def in.</p>

<p>Tulane's standard's haven't gone down. I'm pretty sure you would have easily gotten in even if you'd applied several years ago.</p>

11

<p>You're also a solid candidate for the Deans Honor Scholarship, by the way.</p>

12

<p>I think you have a good chance at getting in, but I don't know about the Deans Honor Scholarship, you need to be in the 32< range plus have killer ECs.
I applied to Tulane, they sent me the free app, I have really great ECs(Vice Pres of SGA, 300+ of community service & much much more)and I have a 4.0 but my SAT is a 1820 & ACT is a 26 and I have had a lot of people tell me that Tulane is a reach... so what gives. Do they really rely that heavily on test scores?
No attack on you.. I was just surprized that you have got these answers...</p>

<p>i got the DHS, and when i was applying for colleges last year, my SAT composite was 2200 (M680, CR730, W790). And that year, they didn't even consider writing. I don't know that much about the ACT though. And trust me, my ECs were hardly 'killer'. It's most def. worth applying for...the payout is huge if you get it.</p>
