This is VERY regional.
In my neck of the woods, kids get into Vanderbilt and rejected from Tufts all the time (they all believe it’s “Tufts syndrome”, but the reality is that V loves high standardized test scores above all else, and Tufts truly practices holistic admissions); Northeastern is MUCH more generous with admissions than Case and Rochester, and Tulane is often a safety school for kids with top stats, much easier than Rochester.
OP- I would take this ranking with a grain of salt. Not every kid looks the same as every other, depending on your geography, how many kids your HS has sent to these schools in the past, how many are applying this year. But V particularly- some ups and downs with grades, not the highest rigor (this is not you, of course)-- high SAT scores can pave the way in…
