How to demonstrate interest:
- Apply as early as possible. Within a month of the common app opening would be great.
- Visit. You live in LA, so it should be possible. They would expect you to visit since you live within driving distance. Sign up in advance for the tour and for as many events they have. Make sure to sign in when you arrive. See if you can sit in on a class in a subject area you are interested in.
- Open every email they send you. You don’t have to respond. Just open them and read them. If there’s something within the email to click, click it.
- Reach out to the admissions office with a question.
- If there are any optional essays, do them all.
- In your essay(s) reference something specific about Tulane that you liked when you were on campus or that you learned about through any sessions you attended.
