<p>There was no application fee for New York City NYU applicants in 2008. That may still be the case, perhaps not. So why again does it imply a diminished value for a school if it chooses to market itself in this manner? </p>
<p>I doubt Tulane will keep the free app for much longer itself. TU started it right before Katrina and just continued it since the storm to help its recovery. I don’t buy the cheapening of a reputation because a school tries to make ONE aspect of the college selection process pain free, easy, and cheap. </p>
<p>On a personal note, I hate insomnia.</p>
