As a Tulane grad, I find some of these responses really puzzling. Syracuse, Brandeis, Fordham? Similar to Tulane in that Jewish students from the Northeast are well-represented, but I can’t think of many similarities beyond that. As a Washington, DC-area resident… Howard? Virginia Tech? SMH, as my daughters would say. Absolutely not. As others have noted, I do think it’s well-established that Tulane has many common applicants with Miami and BU. I don’t see why, but clearly many students do see similarities between the schools. What comes to my mind are schools such as Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Northwestern and perhaps Rice. The big difference is that those schools are clearly more selective and, I imagine, more academically intense. NROTCgrad said that, if one relaxes the size criterion, perhaps Rhodes is like a small Tulane. Building on that, I’d suggest that if you relax the size criterion in the other direction, UCLA (which I also attended) and USC may be similar to a big Tulane.

All that said, the comparison that rings the most true to me by far is Emory.
