<p>Tufts is much more difficult to get into than BC, is as difficult as Williams, and much more difficult to get into than Wellesley. WMalum06 - I think the book on Tufts that you were reading is about a decade old; Tufts hasn’t been considered a safety school for the Ivies for years, especially taking into account that it’s more selective than JHU and Wesleyan, for instance (and w/ a larger applicant pool;). It’s easily considered an elite institution now. W&M will probably have better name recognition than Tufts though, due to its age. IR for Tufts is placed w/ GU SFS, as well. Now, this is not to say that W&M isn’t a superb school, it is very much so, in fact it was one of my choices.</p>
