[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts and Georgia Tech are peer schools? What insanity. Tufts is peers with Emory, WashU. Size, applicant pool.

UNC is not a peer to Tufts. Tufts SAT 25% is almost 1500. UNC's 25% is 1370.  UNC has more freshmen scoring lower than 1370 than Tufts has freshmen.

SAT scores are not what makes peers its the schools reputation. Northeastern has high scores it's not on these other schools levels.

This is where you find Tufts peers. [/quote]

What reputation?
Reputation among students is what matters the most.  Schools with high reputation will have high demand among high stat kids.[/quote]
Only 2 T25s choose Tufts as a peer as opposed to 9 for Emory, 10 for Vanderbilt, and 11 for WashU[/quote]

What students think actually matters much much more than what school admins think.[/quote]

Students don't think Tufts is peers with the other three[/quote]

Yes they do, but there is one misguided parent here who doesn’t and has a lot of time to invest in this thread.[/quote]

Students are DCs private certainly think Tufts is inferior to Washu , Emory etc. You could always test your theory out on A2C reddit where all the kids applying are. I'll tell you know they wouldn't put Tufts in that category.  [/quote]
