[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone asked about endowment. In addition to effect on ranking, I think it also really affects student experience. DC is at a WASP, and resources really matter — money for paid summer research or outside internships for first years, lots of money for research assistantships, well resourced and staffed quant center and writing center, career resources center, many student events, etc. I teach at a T5 and funded opportunities that seem pretty much available to all first years at the WASP are very competitive at the T5 and unheard of for first years. Big endowment goes a long way with a small student body; I don’t know what Tufts is like, but if endowment is much smaller it would likely affect these sorts of opportunities. [/quote] Very true but there are diminishing returns. The same benefits that you attribute to WASP are available at next 10 top SLACs as well. All of these schools have much higher levels of endowment/student than Tufts.[/quote]
