<p>Tulane has done an INCREDIBLE job in resurrecting itself following Katrina, and I believe it is a solid academic institution that deserves more respect in academia. However, it does misrepresent its admissions statistics and undergoes questionable practices to increase its application numbers. It does likely result in enrolling a few good students that might not otherwise attend (not many, by the way, when you look at the incredibly low yield from their admissions offers), but that is clearly not the only reason why they do what they do.</p>
