New Orleans' Medical Schools Awash in Optimism : Tulane and LSU report more candidates that have done charity work in the U.S. and other countries.

Most LSU students were relocated to the school's main Baton Rouge campus, but the schools of public health and graduate studies returned to New Orleans in January. Dr. Hollier said that he expected the medical and nursing students to start attending classes in the city in July, and that medical school applications are on par with previous years. At Tulane, about 8,000 students have applied for 155 positions.
