Tufts is perceived by many as an enviable, high-profile alternative for students that are not Ivy League material but want some level of bragging rights. Nevertheless, Tufts is an excellent school but no better and maybe worse than Georgetown and Emory. What is your choice other than Tufts, if you are a mere mortal academically and want to be in the Boston area?

I think GT and even Emory are Cornell level schools. I know a few at Cornell that couldn't get into these two schools and vise versa. When people say Ivy league material they forget Cornell and Brown are Ivys.

In terms of the there there…maybe the best way to describe it is to say you don’t really hear about a lot of wildly successful graduates. There some notable names but those seems more like the exception.

I finally had the time to look on Wikipedia, and a couple of the exceptions are pretty exceptional: Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay, and Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase.

Also (for people wondering, "Is Tufts just for liberals?"): Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas.

the last one is a bit mind-blowing, yet I shouldn't be shocked that those most contemptuous of elites are often ones themselves.

“us news” reputation scores?

you must be a teenager. Hang tight — your brain will finish developing in a few years.

Oh yes, We should trust the parti pris of the internet's most "upwardly mobile" parents instead of thousands of opinions by professionals and academics. You sound like you think there's a problem with Tufts being grouped with BC, I'm sure GTown and Emory people feel the same when being grouped with Tufts.

I know this is DCUM and people come here (or at least to some of the forum categories) to make themselves feel better by anonymously putting others down - but I’m still dumbfounded by the number of people choosing to post on this thread just for the sake of putting people down; especially those who feel proud to associate with Tufts. Honestly? How low is your self regard that you relish in squashing the enthusiasm of others?

I just don’t know how anyone makes a statement like that

Med school placement, Law school placement, wall street placement. Tufts is not on any of those lists, the other two are. You can also add awards won like rhodes Emory and Georgetown had many more than Tufts.

Their placement in med school is 93%. What is it for Emory and Georgetown.

I think I saw for Emory it was 54%

Are you the same PP that said Emory's acceptance rate was 21%. Seems like you would lie to prove a point.
Emory is 17th for best med school feeder schools. https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-medical-school
Tufts no where to be found.
Best wall street feeder schools
https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools
Again Tufts not there.
I'm not saying Tufts isn't a good school. It's definitely in the 30-35 range. Anything lower than 35 would be unfair but what I am saying is that Tufts selectivity does not mean it's a top 20/25 school.

Just for kicks, I decided to look up Nobel laureates from these three schools...

1. Tufts has Eugene Fama (BA from Tufts) and Roderick MacKinnon (MD from Tufts)

2. G'town it appears has produced no Nobel laureates

3. Emory has had two Nobel laureates affiliated with it--Jimmy Carter and the Dalai Lama, neither is an Emory grad.

Again, just for kicks!

This is a ridiculous statement. When it comes to admissions, Georgetown is about equal to Tufts and Emory is much easier. That's from the admissions rates, Naviance and what the college counselors at our school say.

Is Georgetown is a feeder for Catholic schools?

Much easier?
The rate is 13% vs 11%. Who cares what Naviance says.
