<p>Intuition is worth a lot, so that favors Tulane. Money is also worth a lot (lol), so that favors Georgia. The other thread referenced by haavain spelled it out pretty well. I would only disagree with his(?) statement that the schools are about on par academically. Taken as a whole, Tulane is a clear step above Georgia regarding the average stats of their students, and the observations in that other thread says the same. However, in the Ga. honors program I can believe there is a very similar level academically. The question then is whether that means you are taking only courses with honors students or are you still taking lots of huge lecture courses with all students. If the latter, then being in the HP loses a lot of whatever advantage it might have had. I don’t know how Ga does it, I am just saying if they do it that way.</p>
<p>But in the end, if you are saying that you personally would have to take out $34,000+ in loans and your parents would have to take out loans as well, I would go with Ga. That is way too much debt for an undergrad education.</p>
