<p>If you’re fairly certain you want to go into anthropology, the best thing you can do is take a close look at each school’s anthro department website. Look out for the geographical areas the faculty has experience with, field sites the school operates/is associated with, how many faculty there are in the sub-concentration you’re after (cultural, linguistic, archaeology, physical) and what opportunities for undergraduate research they provide.
Despite how expensive Tulane is, they seem to be pretty good with aid. They also seem to have the most solid anthropology program of the schools you listed.
If you are by any chance interested in archaeological anthropology or in Central America, the Middle America Research Institute at Tulane might interest you: [Middle</a> American Research Institute](<a href=“http://www.tulane.edu/~mari/MARIMain.htm]Middle”>http://www.tulane.edu/~mari/MARIMain.htm).
Liek is right about New College’s grad school admissions–they have an outstanding record for launching students into Ivies and similarly ranked programs, and have also produced an astonishing number of Fulbrights and other scholars. If you haven’t already seen it, you could stand to look at the school’s profile on Loren Pope’s Colleges That Change Lives: [New</a> College of Florida | Colleges That Change Lives](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/colleges/new-college]New”>New College of Florida – Colleges That Change Lives). NCF is definitely your better instate option. I doubt you’d go wrong between it and Tulane.</p>
