@dadof4kids Have you looked the schools she’s interested in up in College Factual? It shows the schools’s diversity, including geographic, with a map! It was very helpful for us with older S in terms of taking schools off the list.
We’re from a SW small urban area and wanted S to be around a diversity of kids/views, but not overly conservative (we’re liberal). While he ultimately decided he wanted a LAC, Wake came off based on CF data, as did Rhodes and W&L.
Richmond went on the list, based on CF data, among other things, and he ended up there (over Colgate, which he’d loved until his visit to UR). Almost all his friends are democrats (not because he looks for that, just how it is), and he says the school is more left than right, but definitely not a SJW school.
Re, Tulane, I’ve been following their trend and they’ve been WL many more high stats kids EA in the last couple of years, but if you’re from an underrepresented state (as we are), and show demonstrated interest (be in touch with your AO, etc), our stats are still showing most of our school’s kids getting in EA. Plus, if she ends up with a 32, she doesn’t look like the WL kids, at least ACT-wise (from my very, very unofficial review! I’m seeing 34/35 WL, a little below that and 36s, with amazing ECs, get in). But, who knows how things will turn out this year.
Good luck! We have twin rising seniors and are struggling with the process without having been able to visit schools. Crazy times!
