<p>Although DS had to transfer out due to phase out of his major post-Katrina, the school is still close to my heart.
More than 1,375 high school seniors, including 237 from Louisiana, have committed to Tulane University and will enroll in August as Tulane’s Class of 2011. The number of new freshmen surpasses by 56 percent last year’s class of 882 first-year students and significantly exceeds the university’s previously established goal of 1,200. </p>
<p>“This is the largest one-year increase in first-time freshmen in the history of Tulane. It is a signal event and a telling indicator of the university’s recovery, national stature and strength,” says Tulane University President Scott S. Cowen. </p>
<p>"This is also a remarkable milestone for New Orleans,” he adds. “These high school students and their parents from across America are demonstrating their faith in our great city as well as their belief that there is no better place to gain a first-rate education than at Tulane University in this city at this time…</p>
<p>Credentials for this year’s incoming class are excellent, says Retif. “While most of our incoming class are among the top performers in class rank and test scores in the country, we look at students as individuals and balance their academic achievements with community involvement, leadership skills and how they are judged by their counselors and others with whom they have interacted.”

<p>All those freshmen running around campus and lining up at The Boot? I’m glad my D will be off studying in Central America next year!</p>
