How do you explain the WSJ ranking of 252?

The WSJ rankings are an absolute joke. I guess we're all sending our kids to BYU since they are a T20 now? I mean, why aren't we all talking about ED'ing to BYU since it's a 60% acceptance rate and a T20 school?

But Brown, UCLA, Colby, Johns Hopkins are all outside of the T50 so not to be considered.

Again, looking at a sampling of Tulane peer schools, WSJ has following rankings:

Vanderbilt: 13
Duke: 16
Emory: 42
UNC: 83
UVA: 84
Tulane: 354 (I was wrong at 252)

Again, why is Tulane so much worse than the peer schools? It's not even about being outside the Top 50.

None of the other schools are located in a city hit by the worst hurricane in the past 25 years. The "party school" thing is also overblown. It's New Orleans, obviously college students there are going to party. Tulane can still have great academics while also being located in the Mardi Gras capital of the country.

Someone's kid got rejected from Tulane

I mean, there's a reason 75% of all episodes of "Cops" are filmed in NOLA...

They aren't filming "Cops" in Uptown NOLA in the gorgeous areas surrounding Tulane.

You bet they’re filling at the top of the garden district as you enter it because that part of town is not a good part of town. Don’t try to act like there aren’t bad areas surrounding the school because there are.

Just avoid by staying on the St. Charles side.

What about Georgia Tech/Georgia State, or U Penn or JHU that are actually in the thick of it in the city? Richmond has some questionable areas too. Again, that’s the city. Not sure why you are fixating on Tulane.

Richmond SAT middle 50 is 1430-1510 with 20% submitting. Tulane is 1400-1490 with 14% reporting.
Richmond ACT middle 50 is 32-34 with 16% submitting. Tulane is 31-33 with 31% reporting.

56.1% are in top 10% at Richmond with 19.7% reporting rank. 51.2% are in the top 10% at Tulane with 17.8% reporting class rank.

So a low percentage reporting stats in both cases, but Richmond is a bit ahead.

You tell me why one is more popular than the other.

What’s wrong with a bus?

Bus isn't the issue. Destination is.

You must not be familiar with Richmond.

If you want an unbiased academic ranking, I'd suggest looking at Princeton Review. They have an Academics rating. On this board, you will only get biased views, and pretty much no one will actually have attended both schools.

Oh please. Homicide was filmed in Baltimore. Does that mean JHU is a bad school?

Homicide is fiction. Cops is reality.
