[quote=Anonymous][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]
Schools ranked anywhere from 26-35 on US news would be peer schools to Tufts so it is safe to say it is a top 35 school. [/quote]

Not sure that makes sense at all.  There is a 4 way tie if you just look at ranking number..nyu, tufts, university of florida and uc santa barbara.   How are these "peers".  What student that has thought about this at all would have those 4 schools in their list?

Peer schools need to have things in common beyond one number from a magazine.

Right before are unc and wake forest in a tie and right after are u rochester and boston college.

I would argue that of those schools...the obvious competition for tufts would be boston college (also outside of boston) , u of Rochester ( northern, good stem, nice campus but urban access and opportunities), wake forest (maybe..but likely too far south),   I don't see the others really appealing to the same kid.[/quote]

Omg it’s the Boston college troll again! A desperate reappearance! [/quote]
