Tulane only got 1,600?


Well, BU has 18,000 undergrad students and Northeastern and UVA have 17,000 so of course these schools will get a lot more applicants than Tulane, which has around 7,000.

What happened to you? How did you become so nasty. Why would anyone go on a parent website’s college section and trash a college that their kid is excited about attending? Do it to their faces you coward. Do you get off on this time of thing?

Hope someone does the same to you.

Tulane is grouped with Syracuse, American, GWU, those private expensive schools that don't have a strong academic cohort of students. But like someone said, a 1350 on the SAT is a great score and that person is certainly intelligent enough to accomplish whatever it is they want to. The limiter won't be their intelligence but their drive and determination.

Usually colleges move up in stature, so it is odd to see a college fall, especially because so many other colleges have become so much more selective with stronger and stronger students.

Maybe because it's in Red State Maga south. My kids will not look there for sure. Turnoff for many others too.


The turnoff is the swampy location and gross high humidity. Politics has nothing to do with it for many.


Ha- we went for admitted students day a few years ago and someone asked about the weather. The tour guide said it’s just a few really hot weeks but other than that, it’s moderate. A woman on the tour said, “I live nearby and you know you’re fibbing.” 😅😅


We went for a tour this past March, and it was 85 degrees that morning. Before the tour starts, you wait in this waiting room in the admissions building where they show a short film and the tour guides come and introduce themselves. The building did not have air conditioning. It was so hot in there, waiting with all the other families, for the tour to start. The admissions staff handed out water and tried to play it off that it was unseasonably hot. But what about regular hot months? No ac? I was stunned. Shouldn’t all the buildings have it? For a school with that price tag I was floored.


The building did not have A/C? Right

It certainly is with the DMV private school set.

Applications have fallen pretty steadily.


I think the trend is toward the big state universities in the South, which have big-time sports, and are (relatively) cheap and offer merit.

That one recent article everyone is talking about acts like students are trading Ivies for the SEC, but in fact they’re just trading big northern state schools for big southern state schools. To the extent that there’s a trend south among Ivy-seekers, it’s to Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, but Tulane isn’t quite in that league.

Ok then, sounds like it’s not the school for your family. Feel free to move along!

Katrina effect? It’s been a couple decades but still. U Miami and Rice don’t carry the same hurricane stigma.

This is it, plus the fact New Orleans is provincial compared to Boston and NYC.


Tell me you know nothing about Boston …


PP: LOL
I actually find Boston provincial as well, but a lot of kids don’t, especially out here on the West Coast. Louisiana may as well be on Mars.

I would never be able to stand that constant humidity.


Okay, fair, but funny how everyone waxes poetic about SEC schools, which have absolutely miserable weather as well.
