[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake Forest is way more prestigious, highly ranked, and difficult to get into than Tulane.

Tulane is where prep school kids go who can't get into anything better.

Facts.[/quote]

No offense but Wake Forest is a good safety school. Tulane is not. Tulane is a much better school and much more competitive.[/quote]

Wake Forest is not a safety school. You have no idea what you are talking about. Wake is ranked 29th, while Tulane is ranked 44th. Huge difference. Wake is in the range of Chapel Hill and Tufts. Tulane is in the range of Brandeis, Northeastern, and Cases Western. Based on our school's scattergram, Wake accepts numerous students with 3.7gpa and above, while Tulane accepts numerous students with 3.3gpa and above.[/quote]

I’m sorry but Wake Forest is a good college but it is none of those things 👆and you know it.[/quote]

No, practically there's no difference between #29 ranked schools like WF, UF, UNC and schools like BU, NU in the #40s in terms of perceived prestige.
BU and NU are regarded any less than WF if not regarded as more prestigious. 
You can see it from the student stats and acceptance rate.    [/quote

Wait, you think BU and UNC Chapel Hill are perceived as equivalents?  Not even close.  There is a big decline in perceived prestige beyond the T30.  The only exception I can think of is Georgia Tech which is not in T30 but has multiple engineering majors ranked in the T5.[/quote]

no T30 is really not a thing.  T20/25ish then T50.

Majority would not think WF or UNC is more prestigious than BU or Northeastern. 
In fact it's the opposite if anything.

Umm, I have some bad news for you.[/quote]
