<p>Thanks a lot for your opinions friends.</p>
<p>For the first thing this is not a Apples vs Oranges debate mainly for two reasons :
- Even though Michigan is a state school with lots of students, the Math Department gives almost 60-80 Math majors each year which is very comparable to Tufts.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that I am exempted from most Sciences and Language requirements. I need to get the Social Science requirement at either of the institutions.</p>

<li>Secondly even though Michigan has an edge over Tufts for Maths or CS, I am a bit skeptical about weather, international friendliness and reputation.
In my opinion Tufts is a better place for welcoming environment for internationals and I am not sure but it is my projection that Tufts CAN be the next UChicago. I imagine once Uchicago had 40% rate and now its comparable to Ivy acceptances. I don’t want to miss on such an experience.</li>
</ol>
<p>I never imagined I would have got in Tufts. I was just lucky enough to get in thats why I got confused.</p>
<hr>
<p>Just for the fact, though I deeply acknowledge the rankings, I don’t think they are the only factor to consider in my situation (maybe because I want to go to grad school so undergrad school wont matter that much + There are some strict regulations for international AFTER they graduate. So the reputation in my home country matters too.</p>
<hr>
<p>For the internships and research positions and all …almost more than half things dont matter in international citizens since we are at slight disadvantage.
Seriously it is NOT easy to find an internships just after 9months as they say. </p>
