The better question though is, why either? Expensive Southern private schools that aren't all that academically rigorous nor well recognized.
That really is the question. What are you trying to accomplish by going to either one?
When I hear Tulane, I assume a partier. When I hear Wake Forest, I assume redneck (maybe a cleaned up redneck with money, but still a redneck).
Not that rankings are everything, but WF is in the upper 20s. I've never spent much time in the South and happen to know some extremely intelligent people who attended Wake. Rednecks? Hardly.
PPs are nuts. Wake Forest hovers right around UNC and UVA in rankings. Tulane is right there with W&M and Boston University. These are both wonderful universities that are very difficult to get into and filled with hard working, high achieving kids.
I'm not the PP's, but you are just selling the schools for little reason.
Rankings of private and liberal-arts focused schools tend to be inflated in the USNews ranking while public schools are deflated. This is because private schools tend to have much larger endowments which is included in the financial metrics tracked by USNews, while public schools have annual funding from the state which is not tracked.
Regardless, if someone is going to UVA or W&M, you know they are doing so because these are good options for the in-state tuition they offer. I would have the same questions to someone applying to UVA & W&M exclusively but was from say, New York or Massachusetts.
The point is, neither school is more impressive or provide a better academic setting than the in-state options in VA & MD, while being very expensive and being even more South.
For the love of Pete (1) can you knock it off about schools in the South - maybe some kids want to have a non-SJW/actual academic experience in a temperate climate; and (2) OP never said anything about applying to state schools in the DMV or anywhere else. Maybe her kid actually wants to go to Wake or Tulane, and *gasp* not UVA. The world does not evolve around you, or the DMV.
