I have Tulane on my list for upcoming applications and I was curious, what SAT scores are they typically looking for? Can someone help me out with this? Really appreciate it!
Tulane University is actually test-optional, which means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT scores. However, if you do decide to submit your scores, having a good idea of what scores current students have can be beneficial.
As of their most recently published class profile, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at Tulane was around 1370 to 1510. This range just gives you an idea of the competitiveness of the applicant pool–25% of admitted students scored below that range, and another 25% scored above it.
Remember, even though it's considered in the admissions process, your SAT score is just one aspect of your entire application. Tulane also takes into consideration factors like your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal essays.
So, don't be overly concerned if your scores aren't in the middle 50%. Consider all aspects of your application as you prepare to apply to Tulane. And if you are still looking to boost your scores, remember to focus on your weak areas when studying and take several full-length practice tests to get comfortable with the test format. Good luck!
