I'd imagine a highly competitive public. Private universities are chock full of privileged brats. At least mine was.

What a ridiculous question. Do down to earth students self select in particular elite schools? Do some of the elite schools have a down to earth score to select students?

DP I graduated from Tufts and found it to be a very cooperative, non-competitive environment. Not sure where you are getting your information from or if you simply have an axe to grind.


I don’t have an axe to grind, but your information is clearly out of date. My daughter has two friends there and hears plenty about the current atmosphere there.
