You’re doing great! Keep up the good work. Be yourself.
Your application is very impressive already, so it will get you into most of the schools on your list. Tulane is the only private school on your list, so I want to comment on that one in particular. The average gpa for the admitted students for this year’s freshman class was 3.79. Of the accepted applicants, 60% did not even submit any test score. So, you’re in good shape there. Schools like Tulane are going to know that your high school is very competitive and will account for that.
Here are two pieces of good news. First, this year is the highest number of high school graduates ever and as a result, the highest number of college applicants. After this year, the number of college applicants will drop off each year. So, whatever you read about what was required to gain acceptance to any particular college last year, will be out of date by the time you’re applying. It will not be as difficult.
Second, 60% of college students are female. BUT engineering and business are the two exceptions to that. Both have more males than females. Of all the business majors, the one that is most heavily male is Finance. What’s the relevance to you? Colleges would like to get more young women in these male dominated fields. That will give you an advantage in the application process if you stuck with Finance as your intended major.
I’ll leave you with this thought. All you can do is all you can do.
