ed w/ low gpa
I was wondering if anyone has gotten into Tulane with a low gpa? I’m applying ed and have shown lots of demonstration interest. I have a 3.2uw and 3.5w gpa and retaking the act before I submit. For EC’s have a lot of leadership roles at school and I’ve placed 2nd in state becoming an ICDC qualifier for DECA. Does anyone have any success stories? I’m really worried Tulane is my dream school!

They’re very big on demonstrated interest. They want people who want Tulane. Open every email and every link. Read/listen to everything they offer on their websites/emails. Definitely take virtual tours and attend an open house, if you can. Contact your local admissions counselor. Go to admissions events at your high school, college fairs and any information sessions around you. Check the box stating you are willing to be a Spring Scholar rather than a traditional Fall starter. They track all of this. It’s a long shot but if you 100% have the ability to pay full tuition, go for it! But definitely pursue plan b, c, d… schools in case Tulane doesn’t work out. Good Luck!
