Yes, Wake.
Wake has a much more academic vibe, and is most similar to an elite/T15 (and was commonly T25 until USnews took all importnat metrics out of rankings). UGA and Tulane are not close to Wake considering outcomes(MD, Law, other grad placement, careers).

The fact you have to reference the rankings and somehow explain why they are wrong makes it plain that you care far too much about those exact rankings.

If Wake was similar to a T15…it would be ranked in the T15 which actually didn’t lose their rankings at all.

Everyone…stop crying about the rankings.

There is no noticeable difference in academics at Wake, Tulane, and UGA.

All are good schools so it comes down to what the kid wants - big school? Party scene? Football culture? To live in New Orleans?

There were years when it was in a tie for 25, usually with unc. But it hovered in the 25-30 spots from the first year it changed to National U in the mid 90s until the last ranking

Whichever my kid would pick, “rankings” would have F-all to do with it.

When was Wake T25?

How does Miami of Florida compare?

How would op ever make up her mind without these words of wisdom? For what it’s worth, UGA is going to be significantly more southern than Wake or Tulane, both of which draw students heavily from other parts of the country., with the largest group coming from the Northeast at both.

It is true that NY sends the most kids to Tulane, but Louisiana and California are right behind. Behind the northeast, Tulane also pulls a lot from Illinois, Texas, Florida and the DMV.

Try to craft an argument without using bygone rankings as a crutch.

US News was late to the dei game, will be interesting to see how the ratings change over the next few years now that the tide has turned against dei.

Can you make a case without citing us news?
