<p>Actually Tulane no longer has ME as a major, just Chem E and BME (although their BME program is very good). They do have an interesting 3+2 program where you attend Tulane for 3 years and get a degree in physics, then you go to either Johns Hopkins or Vanderbilt (your choice) for 2 years and get a degree from that institution in ME or any other engineering program Tulane no longer offers. The move to those schools is guaranteed as long as you are in good standing at Tulane. So in 5 years you have 2 complete degrees in Physics and Engineering from 2 highly thought of schools. Just throwing it out there for your thoughts. With your GPA, if you can get your ACT (maybe you should try the SAT also) up to 31-32, Tulane would be likely to give you a fairly nice merit scholarship.</p>
