I thought “Tuft’s Syndrome” was when a student attends a great but lower ranked school (say Tufts) but had wanted to go to a more prestigious school (say an ivy league) where they were rejected. The syndrome is the bitterness/regret one has about not being able to go to the more prestigious first choice school, and having those negative feelings turn into an inferiority complex.

EDIT**** According to wikipedia and past posts on this topic, I am completely and utterly wrong haha. I don’t know where I got this meaning of “Tuft’s Syndrome”.
