<p>Without SAT scores, it is impossible to even begin estimating. However, I had similar stats to yours when I applied. Very similar. I ended up receiving the Dean’s Scolarship of 10K a year, which was very nice. BU gives out good money to those who deserve it. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>There’s not a doubt in my mind that BU is a better school than Tulane and my RA is a Tulane grad.</p>

4

<p>By saying it is seven spots higher, I assume you are looking at those rediculous US News rankings, which mean close to nothing. I would not advise any HS student or college applicant to rely too heavily on those for anything more than quick reference. Btw, I have a cousin at Tulane and have visited numerous times. BU is better in almost all areas, depending on what you want to study.</p>

5

<p>Tulane wins for architecture and that’s about it.</p>

6

<p>I think you have a good chance of a merit schlarship. Is your GPA w or UW?</p>

7

<p>W. 3.65ish UW.</p>

8

<p>Hi Boston - what do you know about Tulane and architecture? I also applied to Northeastern and Catholic.</p>

9

<p>I know that this is thread crapping and you should either make your own thread or PM me.</p>

10

<p>you’ll probably get the 10k dean’s scholarship
i had almost the exact same stats as you
about 3.8 gpa // 2200 sats (~ 32act i think?)</p>
