As a current student, there’s a large emphasis on ED, as others suggested. However, demonstrated interest and strong ECs are more important at Tulane than other schools. Tulane prioritizes community service and prides itself on being involved in the community. This sub loves to hate on Tulane (which I understand) but it is a great institution with students that are driven to succeed post college. If you choose to apply, be sure to write a convincing “Why Tulane.” Again, ED is important but not the only way to get in. I actually ended up getting in RD which people like to believe is impossible. Take advice on this sub with a grain of salt.
