[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe we can end this by agreeing that Cornell, NW, Tufts and Emory are all great schools and very competitive to get in to. You need high scores, top grades and sometimes extra.

GT appeals to a specific market who are much more concerned with so called prestige and not the actual quality of education. Good for people with the money to pay for test prep who come from certain feeder schools but aren’t standouts in any way.

Brandeis and BC don’t belong in the same conversation. They’re a couple levels down. [/quote]

I don’t think Brandeis and BC are at a much lower level. The big factor is that they look as if they have a strong religious and ethnic identity. They probably have high acceptance rates because only kids who are good fits for those schools apply to those schools. Aside from very ignorant kids, no kids are going to apply to those schools solely because they’re good schools in the Boston area. [/quote]

This makes no sense. The level of academic excellence offered by Brandeis and BC is much lower than the other colleges mentioned above. They’re easier to get admitted to for that reason. [/quote]

Emory, Tufts and Boston College all have a 75% of 34 ACT.  What stats are you using?[/quote]
Lol is the 75th percentile the only stay {sic} you use? [/quote]

No, but it is one.

One more than you posted.

So answer the question, please.[/quote]

I wasn't PP but I use imputs and outputs. How good were the students going in and how well did they do after graduation. 
With that in mind Emory&gt;Tufts&gt;BC.
 Emory has better placement for grad school and high-paying jobs, and better higher ranking programs than the other two, while Tufts has a bit higher stats than Emory. There's nothing BC does that Emory doesn't do better, while Tufts also is better than BC in a lot of areas. [/quote]

Emory is a classic safety school. BC is somewhat better, then Tufts and Brandeis follow up the chain.[/quote]
