[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking solely at admissions figures, it’s definitely harder to get into Tufts.[/quote]

Not sure how you can draw this conclusion when Tufts doesn’t release ED figures. Leads people to suspect that ED acceptance rates are very high, significantly deflating RD rates (when the vast majority of applications come in).

Wes’s ED acceptance rate is usually around 40% (although probably more like 30-35% this year, based on what they’ve said so far), and RD is usually around 15%.[/quote]

OK -- perhaps you are not familiar with Google. So, I'll help you out.

Tufts 2027 overall admission rate = [b]9.5%[/b]

Wesleyan 2027 overall admission rate = [b]17.1%[/b]

It's pretty easy to draw a conclusion based on the data. 51% of Wesleyan's incoming class was admitted via ED. To your point, Tufts doesn't break out ED admissions. But, it's likely not too much higher than that of Wesleyan.[/quote]
