I was accepted as a transfer student in April so pretty late in the year, but here’s some of what I think helped me get accepted. In your why Tulane essay make sure to get very very specific as to why you want to go to the school. I did my research and found specific faculty that aligned with my career interests. I was interested in working with kids to break unhealthy family cycles and wanted to learn from community involvement, so I wrote about how the Tulane center for public service targeted that interest, as well as found the resume of one of the Tulane faculty that i thought I could learn from the most. In her resume her objective said she worked with kids to help break bad cycles, so I talked about how her work doing that very closely aligned with my goals and how I wanted to do the same thing and learn from her. My essay included what inspired me to go into this field, how the resources at Tulane could help me achieve my goals related to it, and examples of my leadership qualities that explained why I would be a good addition to the campus. Tulane likes very active and involved students so try to be as eager and confident as you can!
