Tufts recognition is a funny phenomenon. I’m from PA, and it’s tough to tell people I go to Tufts (it’s become second nature to follow it with, "which is up in Boston, so I love it). Most regular people have no idea. HOWEVER, every time I have a doctor’s appointment (with any kind of doctor, dentist, etc), they ask me where I go and recognize it instantly. The secret test if they don’t say anything is to see if they spell it right But if you go outside the area, you won’t find many people who know about it except professionals like dentists, etc and high-achieving high schoolers in the middle of the college process.
