[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because private school parents need schools that seem appealing/impressive to other private school parents. Several schools have carved out that space by being “rich kid” schools. Tulane, Wake, Northeastern, etc. Look at their Pell grant numbers, they have some of the lowest percentages of any national university.[/quote]

This. It is so odd how private school parents think sometimes. They would rather shell out a shit ton of money to have their kids attend second tier private schools over much better state flagships. You see it a lot. And it makes no sense. I guess you can’t buy brains.[/quote]

Tulane is ranked 63.  It is a pretty good school.

It is also a manageable size.   Not every kid wants to go to a huge school.   [/quote]
This! I really think the “just go to state school” crowd forgets that not everyone enjoys that environment. I would’ve, personally, traded my time at UMich with a more supportive, small environment.[/quote]

My kid is at Tulane. Did not get into our in state school (UVA), so we are shamed for choosing Tulane? Why do you people care? It is a fabulous school. Yes, so are lots of other schools. You do what is good for your family and try not to judge others so much. [/quote]

Not shaming. Just generally curious what changed about it.

Also, would a Catholic school kid fit in? In my time, my Jewish HS friends were the ones who liked Tulane. [/quote]

Very big and active Catholic community at Tulane. Also, New Orleans is a predominately Catholic city. [/quote]

Really? This does not line up with my knowledge, which is admittedly dated. Anyone else? [/quote]

My child attends and the Catholic community is prominent at Tulane and in NOLA. [/quote]
