Wash U., fabulous academics, beautiful and maintained dorms, great food, and my daughter’s second choice had she not gotten into Tufts, ED. That said, my daughter kept hearing wonderful things about Wash U., but always with the caveat that it was cutthroat with a significant number of students doing inventory-taking of each other’s progress. True or not, it was redundant press in these parts.

In fact, she was told by some Wash U. students that if she wanted a less cutthroat version of Wash U., she should consider Tufts.
