ok so i'm gonna be a junior next year and i have been thinking about colleges a lot. I really want to go to Tulane but i'm not sure if my grades are good enough. I have a 3.9, but ive only been taking 2 honors and ill be in 3 ap next year and am in french honors society. Ive lettered in xc twice, track once, and swimming once. i dont have many service hours, though. Do you think i have any chance of getting into Tulane? I know its a hard school to get into but i'm not really sure HOW hard...

Personally, disregard the above info.
I'm a Junior too, and the best thing you can do, is to stay focused on everything that you are passionate about (including keeping up your grades).

Most colleges want a well-rounded student and you seem to exemplify that. Sports, academics, community service. But, you say you don't have many hours, I would take this summer, to maybe volunteer at a local hospital, etc.

In addition, many colleges offer "early decision" programs, which basically states, "I want to go to your effing school badly. So if I get accepted, I will go 100%." If Tulane has this acceptance, DO IT!!!!!

Also, for applications, try to see if you can get an interview w/ an alumni or visit the college/take a tour.

All these will show Tulane that you WANT to go there.


If you have any more questions, please ask me. :)
GOODLUCK!
