Tulane Admissions Acceptance Rate Sham?

We just returned from Destination Tulane, where the Director of Admissions stated that they received 41,000 apps this year and offered admission to 7,000 applicants (I am guessing both numbers were rounded up/down for purposes of the presentation).

Also, my husband and I both got the distinct impression Tulane accepts students who will be very involved in activities at both the school and, especially, in the community. Community service and engagement is a big deal and real at Tulane. No doubt Tulane loves those who love them - and NOLA, which is truly a unique and incredible place to go to college. Seems like if they sense that a student will not take advantage of the opportunities offered by the school and the city, they will say no, even if scores and grades are stellar. They love that they are rated at the very top of Princeton Review’s “happiest students,” “most engaged students,” etc. Huge selling point and so something they are not going to mess around with by admitting high stats kids who don’t actually want to be there.

We absolutely loved Tulane, so grateful our son took the chance on ED2. Best decision. Roll Wave!
