    About Tulane University of Louisiana

    Tulane University of Louisiana is a small private university in New Orleans, LA, in a city setting.

    What Tulane University of Louisiana looks for

    Tulane University of Louisiana accepts roughly 14%, which means a strong application is necessary but not sufficient. Most admitted students are at or above the mid-50 in test scores and have at least one extracurricular thread that AOs read as substantive. The supplements matter. The "why us" essay is where many otherwise-strong applications fall apart, because it reads as a Mad Libs of the school's website rather than a real plan.

    Frequently asked

    • What SAT score do I need for Tulane University of Louisiana?

      Tulane University of Louisiana's middle 50% SAT range is 1400 to 1520. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.

    • What ACT score do I need for Tulane University of Louisiana?

      Middle 50% ACT range is 31 to 34. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.

    • What is the acceptance rate at Tulane University of Louisiana?

      Tulane University of Louisiana admits roughly 14% of applicants. That makes it a reach for nearly everyone, regardless of stats.

    • What does Tulane University of Louisiana actually cost after financial aid?

      Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $39,949 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.

    • Is Tulane University of Louisiana a reach, match, or safety for me?

      Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat Tulane University of Louisiana as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
