That isn’t necessarily true, Tulane practices pretty aggressive yield protection at our private for high stats kids. It doesn’t want to be a safety.

You misspelled fun [prestigious].

OP never said what major they are looking at. OP depending on major, I'd have your kid pick one and apply ED.

What? Tulane is the least prestigious by far of these 3.

Prestige has an element of subjectiveness about it. In the old money South, Tulane is definitely prestigious. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make it untrue.

Emory and WashU have much longer older money, koch bothers for WashU. Woodruff and Barcardi's for Emory.

MO has some of the most restrictive laws right now.

And they are now debating on the ankle monitoring and bounty hunting of women. It will pass.

There is no way anyone should be sending a kid to Wash U right now.

Poo poo this all you want think I am crazy sure go ahead. I am not wrong.

MO just passed clothing requirements for it's house of reps if you think they are stopping there you are not paying attention.

Josh Hawley wants women in his state to stay home be barefoot and pregnant. If they vote him in again yeah MO is screwed.

In what way? What is Tulane better than Emory at doing?

Tulane is better at enrolling students of the Jewish faith (41%) compared to WUSTL (26%) and Emory (17%)--although the Emory percentage seems low--especially at the law school.

What do the Jews have to do with prestige. Emorys white population is relatively low overall 33% give or take so the Jewish population would also be low.

This discussion has taken a crazy turn, but, because the assertion seemed implausibly low, it caused me to turn to Google and Emory is 53% white. Pretty diverse other than that.

Google isn't accurate. The Factbook from their website says 36.7% or about 6000 white students.

Lots of cocaine. That always means a no from me.

I think some kids can handle it, mine could not.

Tulane by far. It’s the hardest to get into because it’s a desirable location and a desirable experience. It’s also a phenomenal school.

Technically Wash U and Emory are higher ranked than Tulane, but I suspect outcomes are similar at all and the students at Tulane probably have a more enjoyable college experience. People on dcum are ranking obsessed. Most people and employers in the real world are not.
