[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts is great for students who want a combo of R1 & liberal arts, great for premed & IR, small enough that professors build relationships with kids and research is available to freshmen, large enough that it feels bigger than high school, fostering an intellectual & collaborative atmosphere. Close enough to Boston/Cambridge for the social & professional advantages.

BU is great for kids who want the excitement of an urban school but not as overwhelming as NYC, a global mindset & truly diverse campus, R1 research, great for engineering & comms & I’m sure other fields too, the city is your lab and your playground (and your enviable brownstone dorms).

Northeastern is similar to BU but I think has an even more pre-professional vibe — the kid who knows what they want and is motivated to go out and compete for co-ops will do very well there and graduate with a ton of useful work experience.  May be a little tougher for introverts or those still figuring out majors.

BC is for kids who love a traditional campus and college sports experience, great for business, appealing (to me) Jesuit framework that encourages questions both personal and global, and encourages students to think about making the world a better more just place.  It seems that kids who are interested in that framework really appreciate it, and kids who aren’t can freely ignore it.[/quote]

Great overview.

For the detractors,  90% of applicants can't get admitted to any of these four T50 schools.[/quote]
