<p>Hi everyone, I recently visited Tulane (loved it!), and it has now moved much higher on my list of potential colleges. However, I had felt pretty safe about it until I saw the 2008 admissions rate (only 27.7%). I'm really scared that I won't be accepted when I apply next year. Do I have a chance? Thanks!</p>
