I am getting a bit nervous for my D. I know Tulane is one of her top 2 schools. Does anyone have any insight how they look at upward trends at all? Horrible freshman year grades (3.2 UW) slowly increased and ended up with about 3.8ish UW junior year. I see that Tulane looks at freshman year grades. Her application is very strong otherwise - I don’t want to go through the list, but feel she would be a solid contender with her EC’s and leadership,with very good recs. I know why her freshman grades were bad, and what’s done is done.
Maybe this isn’t a Tulane question, private school question in general? She is not ready to commit ED because she feels bad about the potential money she may be able to get elsewhere. Any thoughts?
