Admission
Tulane University welcomes applications from students of good character,
intelligence, motivation, and achievement. Through its Admission Committee,
Tulane selects those students who will succeed academically and enrich the
educational experience of their fellow students. An ability to contribute
constructively to campus life outside the classroom and through public service in
the larger community is valued as well. Diversity among its students is a
necessary component of an outstanding educational experience at Tulane
University.
