So, you’re thinking about applying to Tulane University, and you’re curious about your chances of admission. Well, we’re here to help! Of course, there are a lot of factors in the admissions process, and it’s impossible to accurately predict whether you’ll be admitted or not. However, the most important factors in the admissions game are your GPA and test scores. So, using those as a measure, we can give you an estimate of your chances.

With an acceptance rate of 13.15%, admission to Tulane is incredibly competitive. Based on our analysis, to have a good chance of being admitted, you need to be at the top of your class with an SAT score of close to 1520, or an ACT score of around 34.

Not quite there? Try taking our SAT prep course and you’ll still have a chance of getting in, but it’s in the single digits. Let’s take a closer look at Tulane admission statistics.

Tulane 2019 Admissions Statistics: Class of 2023

Tulane’s acceptance rate in 2019 was 13.15%. For students applying to the class of 2023, out of 41,253 applicants, Tulane admitted about 5,424. The average GPA of admitted applicants was 3.51, the average ACT score was 32, and the average SAT score was 1460.

For students who took the ACT, the 25th percentile score of successful applicants was 31, and the 75th percentile score was 33.

For students who took the SAT, the 25th percentile score was 1410. The 75th percentile score was 1510.

If you’re somewhere in the middle of these numbers, remember that a high test score can compensate for a slightly lower GPA, and vice versa. If you’re at the lower end, it helps if you’re a diverse applicant, the child of an alum, or have incredible personal achievements. Still, at the 25th percentile, your chances of getting in are in the low single digits.

Other aspects of your application, such as athletics, extracurricular and recommendations, are important, but will likely only make a difference for admission if you’re in the 75th percentile range for your GPA and SAT/ACT scores.

As we said, admission to Tulane is very competitive. Even if Tulane is your dream school, and even if you’re in the 75th percentile, you’ll still want to make sure you apply to a wide variety of schools to ensure you’ll gain admission somewhere.

Generally, you should have at least three safety schools (where you are in the 75th percentile of GPA/test scores), three reach schools (where you are in the 25th percentile of GPA/test scores) and three target schools (where you are near the average for GPA/test scores) on your list.

OK, so you’ve decided to apply. We took a look at Tulane’s admissions requirements to help you get everything in order.
