<p>Both offer great merit aid.
Both seek out top students to apply. </p>
<p>Tulane gets many to apply as it sends out acess to easy app. No fee. No essay, no rec. Just fill out form and send transcripts, SAT/ACT. Pretty easy. Becomes an easy to apoply to safely school (Financial safety too).</p>
<p>I think both schools do their best to lure the best and brightest to their U’s. Both have great reps. Like MiamiCane, my son applied, but we were not sending him to New Orleans after Katrina. High crime and poverty close to campus, etc…</p>
<p>Those currently applying should seriously consider both.
For us Miami was a great choice. Has worked out well. Easy and relatively inexpensive lights for us to visit and son to come home. Ease of flying is something to consider.</p>
<p>If you search some earlier posts, from 2007-8 or so, there was a poster (JeremyBeach??) who transferred from Tulane to Miami. You may be able to obtain some useful information from reading his posts.</p>
