Is it really worth 250,000 ?

I agree. No brainer. Go with Tulane.

However, I disagree with this generalization:



I can’t fathom anyone agreeing to pay $250,000 instead of zero.



It all depends on what $250K means to the person. And how big the difference is. Wash U vs Tulane? Not a big enough difference.

Wash U vs University of Idaho? For a wealthy family that will not need to take out a loan and will still be able to pay for med school? No brainer. Wash U.
