| My daughter was accepted at Tulane and waitlisted at Wash U. We visited both. At the end she was deciding between UIUC and Tulane. I actually was so impressed at Tulane that I cried a bit when she chose UIUC. It's worked out beautifully for her, but I can tell you that we both found the faculty and head of the program at Tulane to be extremely stimulating. Students were passionate and well-rounded. Wash U's program is highly respected - I can't give as much of a first-hand impression. I believe it's the smallest program at the school. |
