I think this is a decent comparison, but at our school, both Tufts and Wash U pull from higher in the class than Emory.

Wake has bigger sports presence, but stand on quads of both and walk around when students are there and they are similar. Both proud of their liberal arts education. Aside from weather and that Wake is 5500 versus Colgate 3000.

Don’t agree with this one. Colgate gets outdoorsy kids who don’t mind being in the middle of nowhere. Winston Salem is a small city, and gets kids who want the Southern schools experience (football, basketball, Greek life) combined with very good academics.

I live in Houston and have nothing but good things to say about Rice (except for the weather). It is unique though. I can usually tell I'm talking to a 40-50 year old who went to Rice within 5 minutes. There's a brainiac, motivated, creative side to them. Some of them could do well at the cool kids table, but none of them would want to. It's clique-y in the best sense of that word.

Interesting assessment.
Where would a kid who’s at home at the cool kids table, but also self-gravitates towards weird quirky entrepreneurial nerdy exploration go?

Reed? University of Washington? University of Wisconsin, Madison? UCB?

Northwestern; Stanford; Cornell

Michigan:UT Texas

Both large schools with a devoted fanbase for football, tailgating, etc.

Berkeley: UCLA

Berekely probably would like to be Stanford

It doesn't have Emory level outcomes, it definitely is a top below that level.

Tufts has higher SAT scores. Emory from the south is more like a Emory:Tulane with Tufts:WashU in StL

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/colleges/tufts-university
You seem confused
Tufts- 1460-1540

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/colleges/emory-university/admissions
Emory- 1470-1540
Also more students submit at Emory than Tufts.

Don’t even bother looking, they are not meaningful. US News gets a 40 percent response rate to their reputations survey.

40% is good. Where can I find them?

Emory-4 2
WashU-4.1
Tufts- 3.8
Tulane- 3.7

NYU and USC are very similar. A big percentage of the school come from wealthy, well-connected families. A lot of incredibly talented international students. The business school at NYU is world famous, nothing needs to be said about it. USC's business school is neck and neck with it. They both are amazing for their law and medical schools. Both in an huge population area. Obviously the biggest difference is lack of sports at NYU and NYU's very urban campus. But what schools even have such an urban campus? Maybe a couple of the Boston schools? So NYU matches up very well with USC.
