No they are not. By test score its
WashU>Emory>Georgetown>UVa>>UF

The gap between WashU and Emory is tiny, statistically not a difference.
1490-1550/33-35
1470-1540/33-35

Georgetown is lower than UVa although it is TR and UVa is TO.
It should look like this
WashU=Emory>>UVa>Georgetown>>UF
UF is no where near Emory or WashU.

The resident Emory hater will still say its garbage because of 20 points.


Emory is a joke. 76% of those ranked in top 10% of class with medicore GPAs. 75% have under a 3.75 unweighted. 35% under a 3.49. Mediocre and the students don't even want to go when admitted.

The better comparison is Washu > Georgetown > UVa > Florida >>>>>>> Emory


Washu meanwhile has 86% in top 10% of class and just 4% of class under a 3.49.

Now depending on the major those other schools might be better than Tufts. Although Tufts is still a powerhouse in pre-med, pre-dentist, pre-vet.


lol at northeastern. a true joke


Granny, old time is long gone.
It's almost 2026. Leave it to the new generations.


31% submitted test scores and the 1450 to 1520 range is especially mediocre given this. And only 68% in top 10% of class. Yes, let's leave it to the newer generations of bad students misled by even worse marketing.

What's your prestige cut-line? HYPMS? Every other college in the US sucks, am I right?

They don’t have to have "prestige."

They happen to be great schools in a great college location.

Most detractors wouldn't be able to gain admission to those 3 anyways.

Poiint of this thread, why would one pay Harvard, Duke, Stanford sticker prices for the likes of BC, BU, or Northeastern. Tufts does have a good reputation. The other 3 Boston schools remade themselvrs in last 25/30 years but there is no alumni depth like Tufts.

Some excellent liberal arts colleges give lots of merit aid. Are they ranked 20-70? Who cares?

What is wrong with you all? You are so obsessed with comparing schools and ranking them. Different strokes for different folks, honest to pete … All of these are excellent.
