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.


What reputation?
Reputation among students is what matters the most. Schools with high reputation will have high demand among high stat kids.

Only 2 T25s choose Tufts as a peer as opposed to 9 for Emory, 10 for Vanderbilt, and 11 for WashU

The school on this list that doesn’t belong is Vandy. The other three are peer schools.

They are not no matter how you slice or dice it. Vandy WashU Emory are peer schools. Tufts is peers with BC UNC Georgia tech.


Vanderbilt, WashU, Emory, GA Tech, and UNC are all in trash states.

Yuck.

Reputation among students? Do you take Niche rankings more seriously than USnews. Do Tulane grads get the same opportunities as washu grads because it's more popular?


Read again. It's not about random rankings.
It's what's actually happening and actual data. Tulane students have lower stats.

Wow, this thread has gotten to be quite the "no they aren't" "yes they are" type of conversation.

- Usually lumped together with Wash U, Vanderbilt, Emery, Rice, etc.?

- such a competitive admit — comparable to those other schools?


Ranking is only low because it really should be in liberal arts category, but is a university with med school etc. Wesleyan has dome grad programs and used to be in national university category but was switched to liberal arts. Tufts is much better than its ranking. Rankings are stupid.

NP. You’re insane. The applicants to those schools all have the same profile and test scores.

Reputation wise they are not the same. Outcome wise they are not the same.

Neither Emory or Wash U is as anywhere near as selective as Vandy right now but they are both as selective as Tufts, sorry, Emory mom.


Bumping because this remains the truth.


Bumping bc what silliness you posted less than 24 hours ago needed a sockpuppeted post? Try golf

Vandy, WashU, Emory, BC, and G tech are peer schools. UNC is off a little buit but close. Tufts is close to UNC.
