Undergraduate / 'Architecture is something' - my "why tulane" essay [3]
I wouldn't dwell on the lack of a portfolio or your indecisiveness. Many students change majors, most even. If it happens, it happens. As you say, Tulane makes it easy. Also, in a couple places you have commas separating two complete sentences, and you either need to make them two sentences or separate them with a semicolon, as I did. Also it helps to create some space between the paragraphs. Finally, there were a couple places that sounded a bit over the top. You make a nice argument for why you want Tulane, especially the fact that you got specific about it as opposed to a lot of cliched generalities. This tightens it up a little and makes it sound more mature. Good luck!
