[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so strange, I'm confused how Boston college entered the Convo. But back on topic, Tufts is a top 35 school. I wouldn't consider it elite but it's close. Toe it's closed peer school is U Rochester or Wake Forest. [/quote]

Asserting an opinion based on little other than whim does not make a fallacy fact. Do yourself a favor and stop with the irrelevant comparisons. [/quote]

DP but why did you take offense to the PP's comment? And why are the comparisons irrelevant?[/quote]

Earlier in the thread people got upset when one poster said Emory was top 20 and others chimes in to mock them and point out it was ranked 21 by US News. That was only a one slot difference! Here, the PP called Tufts a top 35 school when US News ranks it 30 for 2021. Rankings are stupid but people care and a 30 to 35 place ranking would be a big drop for people who care. PP could have just said Tufts was a top 30 school and left it at that, but they knew what they were doing because who but somebody that is familiar with rankings would know to group it with Wake Forest and Rochester. They made up a different ranking based on personal opinion, which is fine but it isn’t based on anything quantifiable.[/quote]

This just sounds like the classic Tufts insecurity speaking. I think Rochester and Wake Forest are excellent schools and certainly around Tufts level, and it’s a little rude to claim that Tufts is somehow better than both of those schools.[/quote]

It has nothing to do with rudeness and everything to do with experience. 
No student at my DC’s school has ever gotten into Tufts and been rejected at Rochester or Wake Forest. Some have been rejected at Tufts and have gone to Rochester or Wake Forest.

Wake Forest acceptance rate:29%
Rochester acceptance rate: 34%
Tufts acceptance rate: 11%

I’m not a Tufts booster.

There is a troll on this thread who keeps stirring the pot. 
A very unhappy person whose DC didn’t get into Tufts, or some other personal reason to try to put it in the same category as other colleges that are very different.

Part of me says leave it alone: anyone reading this thread can see there is a miserable person tying to hurt it’s reputation. 
But in the era of The Big Lie and using social media to perpetuate falsehoods, I think it’s important to negate the fake information and stand up to the bullying.
