[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw the kids we know that go to Tulane are mostly not academically oriented, including kids from NOLA itself. Plus, EDI and II kids are a major proportion of the school, and they are rarely top-of-the-class type kids. That inevitably impacts Tulane's reputation. But, maybe it's changing, given how competitive college admissions have become. Look at USC, as a standout example. In my (prehistoric) days, USC and Tulane had the same reputation as party schools with not a lot of academic rigor.[/quote]

Why do you have put kids down? My very smart and academic kid graduated from Tulane with a high GPA/double major, had fabulous summer internships, worked very hard all through school. Guess what? So do 90% of their friends. All smart and hardworking. While at school they also volunteered and tutored kids many, many hours throughout the New Orleans community, ate at some of the best restaurants in the country, and attended music festivals (not just jazz fest). I don’t understand the need some people have to disparage the intelligence or drive of other kids. We get it, you don’t like Tulane. It is definitely a school for extroverted, non-nerdy kids who like to socialize and party. That does not mean these kids are “non-academic.” [/quote]
