Tulane only got 1,600?

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.

+1
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.

Do most of the kids taken off the waitlist enroll? If so, that’s insane yield management.

I know 2 kids who were "spring scholared" - both private.

Applications have fallen pretty steadily.

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.

Sensitive much?? I could care less if someone trashed my kids school

It sounds like at least 4 high schools had some type of temporary ban placed on them this year, if not more.
