The Newsweek Kaplan College Guide in 2006, listed Tufts as one of the 25 New Ivies. See link for additional info http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14325172/site/newsweek/ I was not that familiar with Tufts before my son began applying to schools, but then again I wasn’t familiar with many of the top schools that are out there. Until one begins researching and comparing schools there are only so many that stand out, the Ivies and those with big sports, because they are the school’s that get the most press. You really have to find a school that is the best fit for you. Tufts has turned out to be that fit for my son. He couldn’t see himself anywhere else. Great professors, great location, really friendly and social student body. Good luck!
