3.5 UW: Elite Schools?

^^^ I pulled the data directly from Tulane’s own website from May https://news.tulane.edu/news/tulane-prepares-welcome-class-2023. Just letting people know that the days when Tulane’s acceptance rates were in the 30’s is over.

Any way you slice it Tulane is not an easy match for the 3.5 GPA applicant anymore and it’s not even “elite” by most ranking standards (more like T50-75). With that said, if OP thought Tulane is “elite” enough for him/her than I would definitely apply ED in this case.
