I think your son would be nuts to turn down Tulane.

That being said, it's your money.

Note: My daughter's top choice was NYU, and she got into the program she applied to (Gallatin). Financial aid was skimpy. Turned them down. When she visited NYU she met a lot of students who complained of red tape, long lines, difficulty getting desired classes. Your son is looking at a choice between a fine university that is welcoming him with open arms and an overpriced, overcrowded school that is grudgingly letting him in the back door, where he will be last in line to get into courses needed for his major.
