Thanks for the input juiceberry! It’s very helpful to hear about how abundant the opportunities are, especially since you say that Tulane is best known for its business school and Latin American Studies program, and I would likely want to study both of those. I was wondering about the rigor of UCLA vs. the rigor of Tulane, but I don’t really know how to determine that. You did point out that you became well acquainted with the chair of the department after taking an honors French class, and that’s one positive Tulane has, I think. Since it’s smaller than UCLA by far, it seems much easier to get to know faculty, which could be helpful. Still a very hard decision though. I’m going to Bruin Day next weekend and then I’m going to Tulane for an admitted student weekend later in the month. It seems like visiting both schools should make it easier, but I actually fear it may make it harder because I might get even more attached to both schools. Eventually I’ll just have to make up my mind and never look back.
