It makes no difference where you go to undergrad. Get high grades and do interesting things. |
This. 1000 times this. This is how you get into law school. Read this. Copy it. Repeat this. |
These two are equally dull. |
Omg yes!! And I’m a parent of a kid at one of them. They’re fine, great schools, great educations. Why anyone is feeling competitive between these two is beyond me. It makes zero difference. |
There reputation scores on US News. Academics don't see them equally |
Because they aren't Tufts is similar to BC. Emory is similar to Georgetown |
+1000 Law School admin at a T-30 school. And take a couple of years to get work experience between undergrad and law school. Employers care A LOT about soft skills, and K-JD's don't have 'em. |
How could it possibly matter? Maybe Tufts because you will be trapped in the library all winter and fall (and spring) |
This is very difficult to believe. |

Only top school that thinks Tufts is a peer is Wellesley Emory is clearly the better school, Tufts is continually declining https://www.chronicle.com/article/who-does-your-college-think-its-peers-are?sra=true#id=139658 |
Shouldn't be |
For me it would come down to not wanting to be in Georgia. Massachusetts is a much better place to be, especially if your child is female. |
These are almost entirely influenced by the how well or badly the ranked college does in creating positive personal interactions with the ranking colleges dean/provost who fills out the insipid USNWR reports. It’s not an objecting measure of a college’s actual academic quality. What does that even mean? Teaching strength? Research strength? Access to resources? Student cohort? Even if you can measure these things, every person rating will weigh these differently. Not to mention the halo effect that may artificially and unjustly inflate some college’s reputation. College rankings are so ridiculous. |
Actually..., NYU, Wake Forest, Boston College, Northeastern, and Boston University also chose Tufts. Unless these schools aren't top schools to you. |
Again…why does this make you so angry? |
