Do you think I'm qualified for Tulane?

Congratulations on a good high school career so far! Yes, you are qualified for Tulane, but that does not necessarily mean that you will gain admission. See if you can manage to get into more AP courses next year, beef up your community service (not just intra school) and, most of all, tailor your application essay to explain why Tulane is the best fit for you: this is the “Why Tulane?” part of it. The fact is that many students with superior stats are denied admission because the student does not make the committee believe that s/he is seeking out Tulane for its specific offerings. Best of luck in the application process, and I do hope you wind up experiencing Tulane and the unique, wonderful culture of New Orleans!
