Columbia, Cornell, WashU, Emory. Tulane should only be an option if she gets a heavy scholarship.

Columbia? Are you kidding me? Are you insane?

We're going to visit, but can folks weigh in on their kids' experiences?


Should be applying to Duke


Agree that Duke should be considered.

I've heard the sorority scene at tulane is pretty chill compared to other schools. They also have a nice dance program and business school with great facilities. The kids we know there are social and very happy. Also, with your kid's stats, you will likely get good merit $$$. We considered it for my daughter who has similar interests. She is attending a different school but she would have been happy at tulane.

Wash U is neither warm nor fun. Dumb recommendation

Is WashU fun? I have never heard that a super social kid would like it there. Happy to be proven wrong!

Bioengineering, business, or law… if this doesn’t describe Penn, then I don’t know what it’s.


Penn is depressing

I was just there yesterday.
