Yeah, like CSEMS.

Now I hate to say it but I know there are some kids in my situation - whose parents are able to pay for their college tuition, even though they’re not “rich” - are probably in a position where their parents say, Well, we’ll pay for your education if it’s a really well-known, good school, but if it’s a step below, you should go to a state school, save money, and go to a great grad school. Even if the student is convinced that Tufts is every bit as good as a school with Ivy-recognition, or even better in some scenarios, the parents themselves are not convinced. I know tons of really amazing kids who chose the BC honors program, or Rutgers/TCNJ (I’m from New Jersey), or schools that are below the Tufts level but were giving them money for this reason.
