[quote=Anonymous]I went to grad school at Tufts a long time ago. It was always a good school but less competitive than it is today. Even then had a sort of snotty, chip-on-your-shoulder vibe. Also was known for a smaller endowment and less generous financial aid. The area is great - Somerville became a hipster neighborhood decades ago, no one is pining for Cambridge (and if they are, it's a 10 minute bus ride down Mass Ave.) My kid wouldn't stand a chance of getting in, but if he reaches for a Boston school, it will be BC not Tufts. I'm surprised BC is ranked higher, but what I see as an advantage is that there's a huge affinity for the school itself especially in the Boston area - it's not a second choice which was always the sense for a lot of kids with Tufts.[/quote]
