[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boston College is ranked 39 and BU is 42. This isn't surprising as they're both peer schools. I consider peers 5 above and 5 below. What's surprising is Tufts at 40. Tufts has traditionally been considered a higher tier than these other 2, but I don't think that's the case anymore. [/quote] When the rankings were "redone/recalibrated" last year, they basically made smaller/private schools lower ranked than the larger state schools. So places like Tufts and U Rochester fell in the rankings, to make space for the large state schools everyone has heard of. Nothing really changed, just what numbers USNWR assigned because they no longer look at class sizes and other stuff. Yes, I tend to agree that Tufts is a step above BU and BC. [/quote]
