Tulane GPA Scale

What's up, guys? I'm interested in applying to Tulane and I've been trying to figure out their GPA scale. Is it on a 4.0 or 5.0 scale, and do they use weighted or unweighted GPAs?

Hello! Tulane University, like most colleges, primarily uses the 4.0 GPA scale. When reviewing applications, they consider both your weighted and unweighted GPAs. Weighted GPAs account for the difficulty of your courses, such as honors or AP classes, so they can be higher than 4.0. Unweighted GPAs, on the other hand, are based on a 4.0 scale that doesn't factor in course difficulty.

Tulane also practices holistic admissions, which means they'll evaluate your entire application, including your transcript, essays, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. While your GPA is important, they'll take a comprehensive look at your application to understand who you are as a student and a person.

It's always a good idea to check the middle 50% GPA range for accepted students at Tulane to see where you stand. This can give you a general idea of the competitive GPA range for admissions. Keep in mind that these numbers may change from year to year, so be sure to check the most recent data when you're applying. Good luck with your application!
