I find the salary numbers to be of limited value in making a matriculation decision. This data is not a great prognosticator for OP’s unique situation so many years from now, when a lot of changes are guaranteed to have taken place. Maybe IR or CS is still in the cards, maybe something else. In fact, I think that the OP put her/his finger on the “quality of life” issues in post #1 that are most relevant in making the decision: “The students were super friendly and I saw in them who I want to be while in college. Great food (seriously guys check out Dewick’s food!) and a beautiful campus too. I also loved the personal and intimate feel on campus and the general student vibe.”

If it were me, I would sign with Tufts unless I could say this all the more confidently about one of those other schools.
