From my son’s public suburban New York school naviance, the average accepted GPA and SAT/ACT scores are higher for Tufts than they are at JHU and Cornell. Also, maybe because we feeder school to Cornell (I think being instate helps), Cornell accepts just over 50% of the kids who apply from our high school. I think tufts too accepts more instate kids, but perhaps this is also true for Cornell and tufts simply because New York and Massachusetts are states that dominate at a lot of schools. There are lots of college applicants from those two states at the most selective colleges.
