<p>*feel free to ask for more info</p>
<p>Hi there mdelaney95 -
We attended an “Accepted Students” reception recently and the Admissions Counselor said that there were 32,000 applications this year and that so far they have accepted about 7000 students to fill the Freshman class. We were told that the average GPA was 4.0, SAT was 2000 and the average ACT was 30 for those admitted. She also said most were outstanding in ECs, Sports, Music, and/or Community Service. I would say that there is always a chance that you might be admitted but the numbers do not seem to be in your favor. Stay positive but also stay open to all of your other options. I am sure with your resume, there should be many good choices for you. Best of Luck!</p>
<p>I assume the 3.5 is weighted? If so, then all your stats are on the low side, but you have other strong qualities in the arts, so I wouldn’t give up hope. But as doingthisagain says, be prepared for a “no”. If that happens, and if Tulane is still where you would like to be, then work really hard wherever you end up, make great grades, and apply as a transfer. Certainly it is still no sure thing, even with excellent grades, but at least you would be trying your best.</p>
<p>Well, I got waitlisted. But does that hold any weight on a transfer?? What can I do to get a better chance with transferring from Concordia College to Tulane?</p>
<p>The one in Minnesota? Anyway, just I think you know the obvious answer. Make very strong grades, plus get involved in a couple of activities. I suppose you could try retaking the ACT or try the SAT to see if you can get the score up, but that probably isn’t needed if you can show that you can successfully perform at the college level.</p>
