[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a Tufts booster and I think it used to be sort of a second choice school for many or even most of its undergrad student body. But that has changed as everything has gotten more competitive. And Tufts hits a sweet spot of a medium-sized (mostly) liberal arts undergrad education with the advantage of excellent grad programs. The T is coming on campus, and Somerville/Davis Square is very popular with Gen Z locals. But it's always getting bad reviews here; I don't really get it. [/quote]

It's a "2nd choice school" for those that apply to several T20/25 schools (tufts is ~30).  So it's just below those, but not really because it's acceptance rate is still single digits.

Tufts is 40[/quote]

Most realize US News rankings have jumped the shark with their emphasis on equity/low income metrics that have nothing to do with getting a quality education.  Who cares how many pell grant recipients attend a college? Arbitrary metrics are just that, arbitrary.  The private schools got hit while the massive public schools suddenly became the bee knees.  Most see through this.[/quote]
