What happened was that Tulane misjudged its yield the past two years and over-enrolled their classes. They had to pare it down this year, thereby putting tremendous emphasis on subjective factors such as diversity of experience and demonstrated interest. Tulane zealously guards its sky high “happy students” and quality of life" rankings and wants to keep them high by taking only students who are thrilled to be there and not students who will be lamenting that they are not elsewhere from the get go. The upshot is that unsuccessful applicants should not feel it is a reflection on them in the vast majority of cases – you can see the amazing stats and ECs of many who were denied. No need to resort to name calling and other pejorative assertions. If your daughter keeps her chin up she will wind up happy and successful. Best of luck to her!
