[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is very bright, 1500 SAT, near perfect grades, interesting collection of extra curriculars but not a national level superstar, doesn’t want a catholic college, wants a university that’s neither too big nor too small, strong across all disciplines, and in or near a major northeast city, there aren’t that many options. It’s the perfect school for a lot of kids. [/quote] This is a great description...it also has a (well-deserved) reputation of nice, collaborative students and (unlike many similarly highly-selective colleges), the clubs aren't cut throat. A lot of parents are down on Tufts because they think they should be able to use it as a safety school for "ivy-worthy" kids...but it's simply not a safety for anyone. They do care about "fit" and will take a 1500 kid who really wants to go there over a 1600 kid who treats it like a safety.[/quote]
