Tufts

Glad we’ve reached to “low Ivies” part of the discussion finally.

Georgetown is not even close. It is a combination of rich Europeans and parochial school students.

Emory is full of MIT rejects.
Georgetown peaked in the 1980s.

Tufts is perceived by many as an enviable, high-profile alternative for students that are not Ivy League material but want some level of bragging rights. Nevertheless, Tufts is an excellent school but no better and maybe worse than Georgetown and Emory. What is your choice other than Tufts, if you are a mere mortal academically and want to be in the Boston area?

I think GT and even Emory are Cornell level schools. I know a few at Cornell that couldn't get into these two schools and vise versa. When people say Ivy league material they forget Cornell and Brown are Ivys.

As a Cornell alum I’ll be the first to say Cornell and Brown are not peers - maybe Cornell and UPenn is more like it, but Brown is at a higher ivy level.

And in terms of Tufts, it is common for applicants to be looking at and choosing between Cornell and Tufts. Very common…

MIT rejects is... generous. Emory is often home to students who weren't able to get into any other T20 schools. There is nothing wrong with that.

I agree with your second statement.

Not a Cornell alum and I can confidently say Cornell is at a higher caliber than GT, Emory, and Tufts.

Tufts is fine school, not as good as Brandeis though (same area).

Brandeis is a great little school. But people looking at Tufts-sized would probably think it is too small.

I went to both Brandeis & Tufts!

My DC got into several top schools Vanderbilt being one of them. Still chose Emory. You probably know 2 Emory students at best.

It's not, Tufts yes. GT and Emory...no.
Rankings like like this with med school placement that put Emory at 17 and Cornell at 25, or put GTown at 5 for wall street placement. Cornell isn't able to compete with Emory for premed and GT for business.

Is Cornell not full of Princeton/Northwestern rejects. Frankly most Emory students had Duke as there top choice, but DC doesn't think to highly of Duke either.

Brandeis. LOL! 30% acceptance rate?

Northwestern is full of Cornell rejects and agree that many Emory students had Duke as their top choice.

You think Cornell can’t compete with Emory because of some subjective ranking that had them 8 places apart? Really?
