[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated Tufts many years ago and I can unequivocally say that I became a better writer, thinker, and analyst in the first 6 months than I ever would have at the state flagship to which I was also accepted. My peers at Tufts were geniuses, almost all of them, at least 90% of the class, super smart, and that really challenged me to up my game. I had come from a decent not stellar public HS and I was the big fish there. It was humbling to go to Tufts. Had I gone to the state flagship I would have been the smartest person in the room, or one of, -- that is not ego, that is a fact just looking at the average statistics of the student body. I would have been the one teaching the other kids how to craft a strong essay. At Tufts it was the other way around. I learned tremendously from my peers.

I think the people who can't or won't pay for a college like Tufts want to justify that the college they can and will pay for is just as good. It's alright to think that if it helps you sleep at night, get over your insecurities. But no, most state flagships (aside from UVA) that have been thrown around on this post are not the same.

I went to the University of Texas and, quite honestly, this is the biggest bag of BS that I've ever heard. No, you would not have been the smartest in the room nor would you have taught the class.

The arrogance and self-importance from people like PP is precisely why many of us avoid expensive private schools. Rich kids (and their egos) are a handful.[/quote]

My neighbor graduated UT Austin in 1998. She's a moron.[/quote]

And Lyle Menendez went to Princeton. What's your point? [/quote]
