Emory? Too far South. 
Tufts? Maybe. 
UVA? Maybe, if Tufts isn’t an option.

Who are these people picking Tufts over UVa? I need to meet them. [/quote]

Parchment has data on which school is chosen by cross admits and it is 75% Tufts and 25% UVA.  The 95% confidence interval is Tufts 63.9% to 86.8% and UVA 13.2% to 36.1%.  Parchment is based on actual data from high schools.

UVA gets most of its applicants from OOS and, while the admit rate is low at about 19%, the yield rate is pretty low as well.  This is because UVA OOS costs are pretty much in line with private schools and it may well be offering aid packages with more loans vs grant aid vs. those privates.  Tufts has an acceptance rate of only 14%.  Its other stats are also quite strong.  You are underestimating how well regarded it is in certain circles, particularly in the NE.   Most of the cross admits to these schools are going to be OOS applicants.

BTW, I wouldn't argue choosing Tufts over UVA if you have in-state tuition.

Parchment is one of the most unreliable sources on the web. It is worse than naviance. [/quote]

Do you have another source to refute?

Somehow Tufts gets decent students.  Tufts has middle 50% on SAT of 1380-1530 and ACT of 31-34.  UVA has middle 50% on SAT of 1330-1500 and ACT of 30-34.  [/quote]
