PP.  I mainly asked about the geography because you made some remarks about Georgia that made it seem not very interesting to you.  But Atlanta is a very major corporate center.  More significant than New Orleans.

Schools tend to have more influence in a geographic area around themselves.  From what I've read on this board there seem to be a lot of ties between Tulane and DC.  But to be honest, I've not encountered them.  I guess I'm too much of a Northerner.  I do hear lots about Atlanta.   Northerners coming and going from there.   So I'm a bit skeptical.  Also Tulane seems insanely expensive.  I'm on a scholarship committee for the high school PTA and one of the only times I've heard about Tulane in my real life was one senior girl headed there. She had the highest amount of unmet financial need of any applicant for the scholarship that I'd seen in six years.  I assumed it was a family school because I saw no reason why to go into debt that much for the major she wanted.  [/quote]
I have some bias playing into my feelings about Atl due to some not-so-great experiences professionally as a female there so I’m trying to push that aside and evaluate objectively.

Certainly Atlanta offers tremendously more opportunity than NOLA, not just summer but also spring/fall internships, connections, clubs, etc. As a parent I want my student to be as self-sufficient as possible post-grad and the outcomes of Tulane business grads are a lot hazier than I’d like (Tulane only published limited data, and the last available year is 2020 that I can find). Anecdotally the students I know are doing well but a small handful isn’t representative enough for me.

My DC won’t need loans, tuition isn’t the #1 concern but UGA is SUBSTANTIALLY less than Tulane ($194k vs $353k) so of course it’s a consideration among all of the other variables. [/quote]
