Tulane is aggressively playing the ranking game and it will pay off eventually.

They’ve been trying for 30 years. It’s just. not. happening.

Okay got it. You do not like Tulane. Why don’t you crawl back under your bridge troll.

It has been that way since the 80s there is a reason they call it...

The parents of DCUM do not like Tulane because the students there drink alcohol.

I can tell you firsthand that it is a great school with alums in high places in every major city. They set me up well and if your kid is a hard-worker they'll do the same.

NEWSFLASH - Kids drink alcohol at ALL schools and lots of it if they want. Don't be naive.

Tulane strategy: visit, make sure they know that you were there, and apply ED. They love kids who show demonstrated interest and will absolutely accept kids with lower stats that apply early, than they will kids with stronger stats that apply RD. Regarding the culture, you can't deny it is a good school, and while not known as particularly academically rigorous, is a place where you'll have a fantastic time soaking up the NOLA culture for 4 years.

Harry Connick Junior went to Tulane other than that who knows.

BTW schools are required to accept a certain amount of low scoring kids.

I went to a college where my GPA and SAT were below what was required. By a lot. I ended up transferring sophomore year to another school ironically my GPA was to low and graduated that school with an undergraduate and graduate degree. I actually thought a class there as an adjunct professor. Graduated with a 2.6 GPA.

Honest question - does the large Jewish population affect in any way the vibe of the place?

Does the large Christian population at [Boston College, Lehigh, William & Mary, etc.] affect in any way the vibe of the place?

The answer is no.

Well it kind of did when I was at one of those places and subjected to antisemitism.
