[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thought the below was very interesting - really spells it out.

Tulane's standout programs include:

Public Health (particularly strong, especially given New Orleans as a living laboratory)
Business (especially with unique focuses on energy and entrepreneurship)
Architecture (one of the oldest programs in the country)
Environmental Science/Studies (leveraging Louisiana's unique ecological challenges)
Pre-med pathway (strong acceptance rates to medical schools)

The value proposition for Tulane really depends on circumstances. It’s “worth” it if:

You're interested in their specific strong programs mentioned above;
You want to work in the Gulf Coast region after graduation (strong alumni network);
You're interested in combining academics with public service (Tulane requires community engagement);
You qualify for merit aid (they offer significant merit scholarships); and
The culture appeals to you (social scene is definitely a big part of campus life).

However, it may not be “worth” it if:

[b]You're paying full out-of-state tuition without aid for a program that isn't one of their specialties;[/b]
You're looking for a highly focused academic environment with less emphasis on social life; and
You're seeking a more urban, big-city college experience.

Tulane has evolved significantly over the years. While it has a party school reputation, this oversimplifies things. The academic rigor, particularly in its strong programs above, is legitimate. If you are not in one of those programs, perhaps you should re-evaluate.

This was AI generated. Thought the analysis was fantastic and spot-on.[/quote]

There is no such thing as out of state tuition at a private school, PP. Stop being so impressed. [/quote]

Tulane gives 50% tuition to lots of Local students.[/quote]
