[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sense is that a Wesleyan draws more students who want to go there as a first choice, while Tufts is often a fallback. That might be just what I've seen at my kids' school over the past few years, so YMMV, but, if others see this as well, I wonder how that affects the atmosphere on campus. [/quote] Agree. At DC's school, Tufts is the fallback school. [/quote] \+1 The school is known for being the 2nd choice. Their head of admissions (now departing for Dartmouth) is known for instituting the "Tufts Syndrome" which implemented tough admission stats to drive the admission rate way down. That's how their ending up with admit rates <20%. Otherwise, the school is an ordinary NE school. It will be interesting to see how he pumps up Dartmouth's stats as they've fallen out of the top 10 schools (especially given that its an Ivy).[/quote]
