You have a strong record for getting into Tulane and many other excellent schools.

Visit the school and get in contact with your admissions counselor. Sometimes it can be a deciding factor if you are right on the edge. Also try and get as much leadership as possible: Treasurer, president, vice president, secretary, etc. It may help to have leadership in some form of community service whether this be secretary of a community service club or lead a project.
