[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tulane has a great regional reputation in the south. It isn't ranked on the same level but I think of it as being similar to how Tufts is in the NE. Both are strong regionally and with solid national name recognition. On pure name recognition and prestige, Tulane is probably stronger within its region than Tufts and equal nationally. [/quote]

No. Tufts is a very serious academic institution. Tulane is not Having similar acceptance rates or rankings in US news doesn’t change the fact

No affiliation with Tufts, but it draws the most serious and nerdy student

No doubt Tufts is objectively more selective but I don't think it is perceived as "better" in most of the country. Tulane has strong name recognition. There are not any Grisham books involving Tufts, are there?  [/quote]

Are you kidding??  I don’t have a kid at either but know both schools well and currently know many kids at both. Tufts is by far the better school with smarter, more serious and truly academic students.  Tulane is a party school with smart enough kids who didn’t chose their college for academics reasons. Tufts is also better known and more highly regarded in professional circles. No comparison. [/quote]

Tufts is a great school, but you are clearly not informed about Tulane's academics and its standing in professional circles. It's far more than a party school for rich kids.[/quote]

NP, but I, too, had the image of Tulane students being less academically focused. I think of Enory and Tufts as akin. So I checked: Tufts’s admitted student profile for 2021 shows a mid 50% range for SAT of 1490-1540 (Emory’s is identical), vs Tulane’s mid 50% range was 1410-1500. I still think that Tufts attracts the more serious student, but Tulane has plenty of smart kids, too. [/quote]
Emory is better than Tufts and Tulane. Emorys peers are Georgetown ,Notre Dame, WashU etc. [/quote]
