@DavidPuddy In response to your question, assuming total cost of attendance is $70,000 next year and that your son gets the Presidential ($32,000), then your cost would be $38,000. If your EFC is $30,000, then it is uncertain if Tulane would bridge the gap by giving you $8,000 in need-based aid. I don’t believe that Tulane meets 100% need for every admitted student as the Ivy League universities do. I think it depends on the student and how much Tulane wants that student as determinative of whether it will bridge the gap and meet the 100% need. This is why when students appeal they should speak to both the admissions office and the financial aid office because both offices can work together.
