<p>Re: Tufts ranking in the WSJ Feeder Survey vs. Swat… Both schools are within this list/ ranking of top 50 feeder schools, which makes BOTH schools impressive. To extrapolate profoundly enhanced grad school admissions outcomes for Swat over Tufts comes off as, well… potentially overstating a case?</p>
<p>And while we’re looking at “several output measures”, Tufts trumps Swat on the measure below (but would I be so bold as to say that a Tufts education results in “significantly better outcomes”? Would I be so dismissive as to imply, based on this Payscale ranking, that Tufts provides an inconceivably superior education to Swat? No.)</p>

(Tufts is #17; Swat is #27)</p>
<p>And here, Swat is nowhere to be found, while Tufts is at a respectable #70 on a list top-heavy with technical shcools:

<p>And if IR is the OP’s interest (would like to know what intended field of study is, btw), Tufts is one of top 5 in nation:</p>
