Don’t underestimate the impact of the difference in housing at the 2 colleges. Living in a dorm (at Tufts) means you will be spared a lot of the logistical hassles you will have at WashU (finding an apartment/ roommate, getting to/from campus, buying/cooking food, cleaning, etc.), leaving more time to study.

And if you are living off-campus, you generally wouldn’t be eating many meals on-campus, so the better food at WU wouldn’t mean much. The rankings are close enough to be a non-issue. Boston is much more interesting than St.Louis. I’d go with Tufts.
