What are my chances for Tulane University?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I’m curious as to how to plan my schedule next year with hopes of getting into Tulane. As a current junior at a performing arts high school my schedule looks like this:
AP Composition
AP US
AP Stat
AP Environmental

  • my talent which takes three periods out of my day</p>

<p>looking towards my senior year, I may not be able to take AP Calc, which is the only math course I have not taken that is offered at my school. The reasoning for this is that the science that I would like to take (AP Bio) is a double period, and as a senior it will be mandatory for me to take a health class, as well as AP lit and honors gov (my school does not offer AP gov). Due to my talent and the periods it takes out of my day, I would be forced to drop my lunch period to take this math class. As a person who is interested in a dual major of pre-law/ theater with 5 high school math courses on my transcript, is it necessary for me to take this class?</p>

<p>I thought you were asking for chances, not a schedule plan.</p>

<p>Provided your ECs that take 3 periods out of your day are quality ones, what’s good for Tulane would be 3.6 UW/29 on the ACT or 2000 on the SAT.</p>

<p>Apply early to Tulane, this is really critical to them. It doubles your chances–They care a lot about demostrated interest (look up Tufts Syndrome)</p>

<p>On top of that, contact adcoms, faculty and visit if possible, as you would with schools like WUSTL, GWU, Tulane and Tufts. (Nowadays Tufts Syndrome-afflicted schools are big on demonstrated interest, rather than waitlisting or outright rejecting overqualified students)</p>
