I have a queston about the Destination Tulane weekend. My daughter has visited Tulane two separate times and last time (mid-November) actually sat in on some classes. While she really wants to attend one of the Destination Tulane events, there are some possible road blocks. 1) I will have just been in town for my high school reunion and it will cost us about $700.00 just to fly us back down to New Orleans. 2) Her high school offers exam exemption to the seniors with a certain GPA IF and only if they don’t miss classes the second semester of their senior year. Because we are in North Carolina, it is almost impossible to get down to New Orleans unless she misses a day of school (neither one of the two Saturdays that are offered will work for us). So, my question is…if she has already visited and toured Tulane two times, is it worth it to spend the money (and risk losing her exam exemption) to come for one of the Destination events? We are also very familiar with New Orleans as I was born and raised there. Is there anything different that will be taking place? It looks like the schedule of events is very similar to the events that took place at the Campus Preview days. The only new event looks to be a visit to a dorm room.

I really want to do this for her if it will indeed be beneficial, but if it is really meant to be an event for people who have yet to make it to campus, then we may skip it. Thanks in advance for any advice.
