Official scores from either the ACT, SAT or your school counselor are required in order for a candidate's application to be considered complete and to be reviewed for admission. Below you'll find helpful information on standardized test scores as part of the admission process.
Scores can be submitted through the appropriate testing agency or through your school counselor. If submitting via a school counselor, your counselor must email a copy of your score report (PDF, screenshot or transcript) to submit@tulane.edu.
It is our policy to consider the score from either exam that represents applicants in the most positive academic light; therefore, we do not have a preference for either standardized test over the other.
College Board debuted a redesigned SAT in March 2016 that returned to the 1600-point scale. We understand many students took the SAT before that date, so we've compiled a short guide below for students affected by this change.
Admission Term | High School Grade 2016-17 |
SAT Considered |
---|---|---|
Fall 2017 | Senior | Current OR New SAT |
Fall 2018 + | Juniors and younger | New SAT (1600-scale) |
For transferring students with 30 or more credits taken as a college student and a 3.4 cumulative GPA, we may be able to waive the test score requirement. Please email transfer@tulane.edu to see if you are eligible.
