[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I confused as to why we see these numbers at Tulane but not at schools like Lehigh, or other schools on that level. [/quote]

It’s well known that Tulane spends huge amounts of money on merit aid.   [/quote]

Tulane knows exactly what they are doing. By offering large amounts of merit to the higher stat students they want to attract, they are absolutely building a better school. We also know from personal experience that they want students who have shown an interest in them and they also really like kids with a lot of community service. As other's have mentioned, lots of things changed after Katrina and they are really big on "giving back" to the community. They specifically have a service learning component that all students must fulfill to graduate. It's really not the same school that it was 10-15 years ago. And yes, kids party, but they party everywhere. [/quote]

I know that they know, they offered a fantastic package to my kid last year :-).   I am just pointing out that their merit aid packages do stand out from the rest of the “next tier” schools.[/quote]
