<p>^what you say about UR is true, but there’s no such thing as a reliable undergraduate program ranking. I reject your contention that NU is better than Tufts: one is better for some ppl and the other is better for some others. Also, if you plan to live and work in the Midwest, go with NU. If you plan to work in the northeast, go with Tufts. If you plan to live in the south or west, it likely won’t matter. I go to Tufts and i have friends at NU, and I think the two are very close in academic quality, and anyone who matters will know this. NU may be better known to the general public, but that’s really only because of sports. Any difference in overall quality between the two schools is statistically insignificant, as anyone smart enough to get into Tufts or NU should know.</p>
