Undergraduate / The community service - Why Tulane? ; Major - Political Science/ International Relations [3]

I don't think it focuses enough on why Tulane will help you with this goal more than other schools. At the end you say you believe Tulane will help you succeed. How? Are there particular programs at Tulane that will help you with this? Try to be more specific about Tulane, show that you have done some research.

For example, if you are female and are a particularly outstanding student, you could talk about the Newcomb Scholars Program.

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!
