<p>For those interested in rankings- something to consider. In the '11 Princeton Review, Best 373 Colleges, only 38 colleges received a 90 or better rating in the three major areas, Quality of Life, Academics, and Admission Selectivity. Tulane is a member of this exclusive group. You can have it all at Tulane- great student life, great academics, and selective admissions.</p>
<p>Tulane received ratings of 98 Quality of Life, 91 Academics, & 96 in Admission Selectivity. Just one more data point.</p>
<p>I have last year’s book and those numbers have definitely gotten better. In the 371 Best Colleges Guide they were 91 QoL, 84 Academics and 94 selectivity.</p>
<p>While we didn’t really pay close attention to US News’ ranking when helping son make final decision (he chose TU over higher ranked schools), he did pay attention to that academic ranking in Princeton Review when deciding which schools to apply to. Its exciting to see that number rise – S is a sophomore and enjoying his course load. He has been challenged by profs and seems to be getting so much out of college.</p>
