Tufts did not list ED stats on the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 or 2023-2024 Common Data Set

For comparison's sake:
Boston College (2022-2023)
1,246 accepted ED; 4,428 applied
ED acceptance rate 28%
2,327 freshmen
ED admittees make up 53% of the freshmen class

Not from the CDS, but for 2024, 1,375 ED admittees, with an acceptance rate of 32%

Boston University (2023-2024 Common Data Set)
1,791 accepted ED; 6,866 applied
ED acceptance rate 26%
3,145 freshmen
ED admittees make up 57% of the freshmen class

Northeastern University (2023-2024 Common Data Set)
1,420 accepted ED; 3,672 applied
ED acceptance rate 38%
2,738 freshmen
ED admittees make up 52% of the freshmen class
For this cycle, they supposedly had 6,400 ED applications

NYU (2022-2023 common data set)
NYU does not list its ED applicant number or ED acceptance rate
For this cyle, they supposedly had 22,000 ED applications


So Emory lists their ED acceptance rate and the number accepted. NYU and Tufts do not. Take that for what it is worth.

Why doesn't Tufts publish its early decision numbers?

At least the Emory hater has some actual cheating data, but, in general, most of the haters who haven’t actually been to the schools are posting annoying, useless posts.

Emory and Tufts are both fine schools, and the general hatred directed at them is idiotic.

I wish we’d all join together to report the hater posts, to chase them off the forum.

And yet another poster who sees Emory and Tufts as peer schools.

is tufts known for a better party scene than emory?

OP here. It is my understanding that the two schools are basically the same prestige wise. Could anyone speak to the social scenes at either schools? I think that is what may drive the decision...

Emory might have more pull in Georgia, but if your kid wants to work or go to grad school in NY, New England or the northeast in general, no one's going to claim Emory has any advantage whatsover.

Yall say stuff like this, and want us to take yall seriously. Tufts over Emory for biology?!?!?!? Emory a legit premed factory?!?!?

Depends on how you measure prestige I suppose.

This site reveals peer schools and Vandy, Notre Dame, and Wellesley are the only T25s to choose Tufts while
Rice, WashU, Vandy, UNC, USC, Northwestern, Umich, UVA, and Notre Dame are the T25s that chose Emory. So 3x more for Emory

Socially Emory is vibrant and quirky similar to Tufts but maybe not as quirky. Affluent and diverse. Emory is top5 for most satisfied students on Princeton review for 5 years now.

Probably not a lot of students apply ED at Tufts.

Tufts has a higher retention rate. Tufts premed acceptance rate is north of 90%. Emory's is below 60%.

Retention rates for both schools is 96%. Emory's premed acceptance rate is 65%. However, over 400 students apply per year so that's more students getting into med school from Emory. Not many students from Tufts apply to med school.

Omg emory for premed hands down. Not even a contest.
Tufts for polisci, international relations.
Emory for prestige.

Very different. I mean Tufts is in Boston. The whole city is a college town. Within 2 miles of Tufts you have Harvard, Wellesley, MIT. And then the rest of the Boston schools not much farther. So the social scene bleeds in to everything in Boston…super smart college kids from a bunch of schools.

Emory is amazing with super smart students. But then, outside of that it’s just Atlanta.

Kids have parties where students from other schools attend. The social scene in Boston is far different than Atlanta for a college kid. MIT, Harvard, BC, BU, Northeastern, Tufts, even Wellesley girls will all party together. Tons and tons of international students, and students from all over the United States.

During the Beanpot Tournament. there are parties at all the schools and Tufts students will go to these. Not to mention the bars and clubs in the Back Bay.

The social scene at a school like Emory is not comparable.

Academically, Emory is better by alot. So posters must be quantifying prestige in a different way. Like the student body that attends. DCUM thanks northeast schools are betternjust because they have northeastern students and that's INSANE.
