A. Holden – Congratulations! You will be pleased to know that your comment has been selected as a Question of the Week. It will be answered during the week of 6/2 or 6/9 on a new thread. You have also won a free dinner in the Bowdoin Student Union, where the food is decent, but not nearly on par with the dining opportunities at Williams.

Are you trying to suggest that Williams College has no place for consideration and that Bowdoin represents the new Williams College? By what standard? These institutions are varied and attract divergent interests among applicants. There is no factual basis for your comparisons.

Joanna, I’ve just been admonished for not responding to you. Your comments about Tulane were so compelling that we are considering a visit with CJ.
zhiv,
The new Tulane is University of Miami. And the new Wesleyan is Oberlin.

Sounds good, Joanna. So now the question is, what’s the new Tulane?
Note to NP: in my blog world, when somebody (random or not, and it seems like Joanna found ARS-FSBCT by googling “Tulane,” since she goes there–she must really love it) leaves you a comment, you answer back with a peppy, supportive response, which gets them to keep reading your blog.
How should I feel about Wesleyan is the new Brown? This post is too complicated for me.

I’m a sophomore at Tulane right now, and I would say it was probably my fifth choice school (I had my heart set on out-of-reach California schools, even though I’m from Virginia). Of my close friends at school, no one had Tulane as their first choice. But, not only is Tulane the new (and better) Emory, it’s also the best college any of us could possibly be at. We all are madly in love with it, and couldn’t picture ourselves anywhere else. Even if the “I’ve-wanted-to-go-there-since-I-knew-what-college-was/I-could-say-[college’s name here]-before-my-own-name” school sends the small package of rejection and not the thick envelope of acceptance, like mine did, life does go on.
