When did Tulane become a national university?

Tulane did some very aggressive marketing after katrina, offered tuition discounts to everyone the year after Katrina (IIRC) and I think that was the year they went to the common app (dropped the universal app). Add to that the availability of the streamlined application and no app fee, and yes, the application numbers rose significantly. That said, I am in agreement with @fallenchemist that Tulane was a “national” U for many many years before Katrina, even before the womens college (Sophie Newcomb) was merged in with Tulane to be one school.
