Tulane for math

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am planning on going to Tulane for undergraduate and majoring in math, maybe doubling in physics. I scored a perfect 800 on my math SAT. I got a 5 on AP Calc BC in 10th grade, and have since taken Multivariable Calc, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I have also gotten 5's on AP bio, chem, and physics C. However I scored only a 640 on my Verbal SAT and was turned down from all the ivy league schools. I was wondering how well Tulane would really suit me, get me into a good graduate school, and prepare me for studying math someday. I am primarily interested in studying theoretical math and physics.</p>

<p>Basically, if I was suddenly accepted to an ivy league school somehow, would you recommend switching, or should I stick with Tulane.</p>

<p>Also, my only other choice right now is BU. How are they for math?</p>

<p>Wow, those are some intense courses you took -- especially for a high schooler. You probably don't need many more math courses to get a college degree. If I may ask, which schools did you apply, did you get into any of those? Perhaps they thought your verbal was low, but 640 is nothing to scuff at. </p>

<p>You may want to check the US News rankings (not as a final choice but as a guide) to see how those schools rank for mathematics. Sorry I am not able to help much.</p>
