[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would not think of UVA or BC as peers to Tufts.  Tufts peers are Amherst, Williams and the like.[/b][/quote]

Except you'd be wrong.  For that to be the case, you'd have to have applicants turning down Amherst or Williams for Tufts.  Which rarely happens.[/quote]

Amherst and Williams are colleges not universities.

Amherst and Williams are the "ivy" of colleges they are not even ranked with universities.

Tufts is a university. It's like Brown or Cornell of universities. So yes, Amherst and Williams are more like Harvard and Yale of colleges... but if they had to be compared to Universities, clearly they are not Harvard or Yale.

So it is hard to compare a university like Tufts to colleges like Amherst.

Huh??[/quote]

they meant that elite SLACS are not comparable to Harvard or Yale, and they are wrong. Williams graduates end up in the same grad programs and Harvard graduates [/quote]

What I am saying is Amherst and Williams are not part of University Rankings because they are Colleges. Look at US News and World report rankings, there are 2 different rankings 1 for Universities, 1 for colleges.

In college rankings they are #1 and #2. If they were Universities, they would not be #1 and #2 because Harvard and Princeton would be, they would be much lower... but yes they are comparable to Harvard with relation to colleges.

I agree that grads from Harvard/Princeton/Tufts/Amherst/Williams end up in the same place.

Tufts is ranked with Universities, btw.[/quote]

do you think the average Williams student would have been excepted by Tufts? Do you think the average Tufts student would have been accepted by Williams? [/quote]
