Chance me for Louisiana colleges please!

I am an upcoming senior and am wanting to stay in state for college. However, out of state is an option, but for a select amount of schools.

I am thinking Loyola of New Orleans, Tulane, and millsaps.

For Loyola I am pretty confident I would get in. Same for Millsaps.

However, I am not as certain about Tulane. If I applied early decision would it help me out any. I am about 3-4 points lower than their act standard, but I meet the GPA standard by far.

I also am looking which one will not be too hard! I’ve heard Tulane is pretty difficult. Is it the same difficulty at Loyola? Would I graduate with a higher GPA from Loyola?

Also, does TOPS cover tuition at Loyola and Tulane? I meet the standards for the TOPS awards, and it would be much nicer to not have to pay those big time tuition rates at either of those schools If I am to be accepted.

Thank you so much!
