[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No longer prestigious? The obsession with rankings just will not end. Tulane is an excellent school that gets a lot more applicants than it has places. That much isn't changing anytime soon.[/quote]

Meh...they play the ED game. Whatever though.[/quote]

This is my take on Tulane, too. Too bad, since I like the idea of it. I am down on Univ of Chicago now for the same reason. We know that all these schools play the game, trying to increase applicant pool and perceived selectivity. But there's something slimy about how Tulane and Chicago are doing it. So that if a good applicant who applies RD to either of them? a snowball's chance in hell. :( [/quote]

I have a kid attending Tulane that applied EA, not ED. They have drastically reduced the number of kids they are taking in ED over the last 2 cycles and are committed to taking more in EA and RD. However, this is a school where kids are happy and they love being there. You can feel this on campus. Part of that happiness comes from it being kid’s first choice school. So if you take a ton of kids in ED it definitely gives the school a vibe. I hope that by taking more kids in EA or RD it doesn’t change the feel of the school to a bunch of kids miserable that they had to go to their “safety.” [/quote]

I am the one irritated at Chicago and Tulane … But this is good to hear about Tulane.. because my kid really wants to go there but we can’t afford for him to ED. We have see what the financial aid package is. I love that kids seem happy there. (And hope my son is among them next year!)[/quote]
