<p>Medman, Fiske on Tufts: paraphrased: Some academic superstars used to consider Tufts a safety school for some ivies but Tufts isn’t safe anymore, not when it comes to admissions. With strong academics, a high achieving student body, and attractive setting some say that not much separates Tufts from its illustrious neighbors: Harvard and MIT. Tufts gives every indication that it’s going to keep scaling the university ranks until it reaches the summit…Quality of life 4 stars. Overlaps, Brown, Penn, Cornell, Georgetown, Duke, Northwestern. </p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is not in the comparison. Fiske is run by the former New York Times Education writer. Can’t always rely on the U.S. Snooze and World Report. I am picking Tufts over JH after my visits to both. Thanks.</p>
