[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts, Occidental [/quote]

Tufts' 25th-75th percentile range was 1480-1560 and its acceptance rate was 10 percent.  Maybe it wasn't the reachiest of reach schools you were hoping for, but unless you bought a building it wasn't a safety.[/quote]

Did I say it was a safety? No. I said that the person in question didn’t get into any of the schools that they really wanted to go to and they wound up at Tufts. I thought that was the assignment per OP.[/quote]

OP asked about students who “didn’t get in anywhere” not students who didn’t get in to their first choice. Come on let’s not be ridiculous and pretend “wound up at Tufts” is on par with having to go to community college when all Ivies failed. [/quote]

Exactly.  OP's question wasn't "where did your uber high stat kid end up after not getting in to HYP or their other top choice"...if it had been, Tufts would make perfect sense.  The question was about students who "didn't get in anywhere"...of course, on DCUM, "anywhere" likely means "top 10."[/quote]
