[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone one is disregarding the nieces URM status. If her mom wants her to stay close to home, Tufts may be a more welcoming place for her than some other schools. Niece should visit and draw her own conclusions. She could look at Amherst too. [/quote]

I don't think people are disregarding. OP waited till third or fourth post three or four pages into the thread to disclose that info. Until then, read as a troll post with someone throwing out potentially inflammatory bait to see the responses.

Agree with one of the PPs who mentioned that Tufts now has an 11% admit rate. Perhaps the school has some drawbacks of being a refuge for Ivy rejects and not being in Boston (though technically neither are Harvard or MIT), but enough seniors are throwing their hat in the ring to render it a highly selective school.

OP, perhaps you can ID a college counselor who may be willing to work with your niece pro bono. She could really benefit from a professional take on a very different college admissions landscape from when many here were in school. Even last year's admits may be the harbinger of a new trend rather than an outlier in terms of admissions.
