<p>I know I've posted this a million times and some of you are going to want to kill me, but I just wanted to know, is it worth my time if I really want to go there?</p>

<p>You can't get in if you don't apply.</p>

<p>I know....I noticed you're in New Orleans..not to ask the obvious, but how are you guys doing there?</p>

<p>I'm actually in Massachusetts right now, sorry for the confusion.
I go to Tulane, which is fine itself with very minimal damage from the hurricane, but it's the rest of New Orleans that'll keep us from going back this semester/year. I wish I had more information on how everyone is doing, but I've only spoken to my classmates and my coaches and everyone from Tulane is safe.</p>

<p>^ Good to hear, glad you're out of there right now.</p>
