510 MCAT, 3.5 sGPA from postbacc. Undergrad/masters from a top British university in modern history. No direct ties to tulane but worked and did research at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans during university, so fairly strong connections to NOLA and I have a genuine love for the city and region which I wrote about. Taught myself how to cook cajun food while there, which I talked about in my essays/hobbies. Some fairly unique EC's as well, I was a semi-professional athlete in a very niche sport. definitely nontrad. feeling dazed and undeserving, to say the least.
