What does Tulane base their merit scholarships on?

They do base things on a 4.0 scale, so I believe they recalculate so they are looking at everyone on the same basis. Of course they take into account the AP and honors courses you have challenged yourself with. BTW, a B+ is not a low grade, LOL.

Your GPA UW will be quite high. I don’t have my spreadsheet that calculates normalized GPA with me at the moment, but I am guessing 3.85-3.925. Something like that. So that along with your outstanding SAT score would not only qualify you for merit aid, but for the top award of $27,000 per year. In addition, you would be an excellent candidate for the full tuition scholarships. That is assuming that the rest of your record is good, but the stats are easily there. Send me a private message if you want more info. Or you can do it here. Up to you. But to qualify for those full tuition awards, you have to apply EA or SCEA and fill out a separate application.
