[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had a friend  who did tulane spring scholars fairly recently. I think she went to either Paris or Rome. Had a great experience abroad and transitioned well with their cohort into the tulane campus in spring. [/quote]

Yes, some kids handle the transition well. Many others do not. Keep in mind, OP, that your Tulane student will room abroad with a mix of students from other schools around the country, many of them juniors and not freshmen. My DC had other Tulane spring scholars in classes, but it was not as easy to meet and keep up with them because they didn't live together. That is all random and assigned, at least for the Italy program.

I agree with other PPs. Unless your child really, really, REALLY wants to go to Tulane (eventually,) I would pass on the spring scholars option. Wait and see what options your DC has for ED2 or RD. [/quote]

Yes, my child really, really, REALLY wants to go to Tulane, that's why they applied ED, and wants to move forward with the Spring Scholars program. What can we/DC do proactively to set up DC for success for the fall semester abroad and the transition when arriving at Tulane? Would really appreciate any advice & suggestions because it looks like we're heading this route. [/quote]
