NU vs Tulane

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>I started a Northwestern vs Tulane thread in the common section, but I want to hear what Northwestern has to say:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Northwestern pretty much gave me nothing. Parents have decided not to take the giant fed plus loan. Tulane has given me a 25k/year scholarship.</p></li>
<li><p>Both have great cities. Northwestern offers a lot in regards to academics and opportunities, but Tulane has a good community feel, is less divided, and would be a more relaxing four years. </p></li>
<li><p>I'm thinking about pre-med. Tulane offers a couple of tracks with early acceptance into their med school. I don't know anything specific about Northwestern's premed, but I assume it's good. Any comparison between acceptance rates to med schools would be highly appreciated.</p></li>
<li><p>I'm not interested in pursuing theater, journalism, film, music, and communications. Not interested in Latin Studies either. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>So where should I go?</p>

<p>Not worth the 100k. Go to Tulane and have an easier time getting a good GPA (since you’ll be smarter than a greater percentage of the kids at Tulane than at NU).</p>

<p>You do need a very good GPA to get into Med School (or any graduate school for that matter), so go to the place where you will have an easier time getting a good GPA, like arbiter said. In this case, it would be to go to Tulane and be near the top of your class, and they even gave you good money.</p>

<p>good luck! :)</p>

<p>Save the 100K! I hope you feel better about giving up Northwestern after hearing the same thing from all of us.</p>

<p>I think I made my decision. ;)</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the input!</p>

<p>I would take the scholarship and go to Tulane. Good school and you can put that money into med school. Good luck.</p>

<p>The caliber of student at TU is rapidly increasing. Anyone who thinks TU will be a cakewalk will be disappointed.</p>
