[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transformed from a safety to a first choice school virtually overnight.[/quote]

Like Chicago and Wash U, Tulane started to give out lots of merit money and got a huge boost in selectivity and yield.    [/quote]

True.  Also aggressively trying to attract full pay students from the area private schools, who may be B students, but are bright and have deep family pockets.[/quote]

I don't think so.  We live in one of the wealthiest towns in the country and my daughter received a mailing today from Tulane that says she has received priority consideration which among other things means she will get automatic consideration for merit aid and a waived application fee.  She has no interest in the school but I'll assume she got the mail piece because of her high ACT score.   Poor targeting.[/quote]

My son also got this today, I am the OP of the thread titled "Priority Consideration."   He also never considered Tulane or asked for any info from them, but has great SAT scores.   We do not live in a particularly wealthy area, and his high school is actually about 50% Free/reduced lunch and  ESL.[/quote]
