<p>Eng<em>dude: Are you aware at how highly selective Tufts University is? Are you aware that in RD, roughly 75-80% of students are turned away? Let me state this again – Tufts is on par w/ other schools right under the ivies, precisly b/c it offers an ivy-level education. Go to the PR book for that one. Do you think that no one has heard of Tufts, eng</em>dude? Do you think that the school is generic place with no credentials? look at this: <a href=“http://education.guardian.co.uk/citationanalysis/story/0,,620154,00.html[/url]”>Why don't you look us up some time? | Higher education | The Guardian; Hmmm…looks like Tufts has an international reputation…
Don’t think that Tufts is in the “Highly selective” group? You don’t believe that academically superb students want to go there? Let me direct you to this: <a href=“http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:cytvu-tMTQkJ:post.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/hoxby/counselorreport.pdf+Tufts+is+extremely+selective&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=33[/url]”>http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:cytvu-tMTQkJ:post.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/hoxby/counselorreport.pdf+Tufts+is+extremely+selective&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=33</a>
Or maybe you’d like to peruse “Barron’s Guide to the Most Competitive Colleges, 4th Edition” ? Or the latest “Guide to the Colleges 2006” from the Yale Daily Press, that praises Tufts “high achieving student body” and “renowned professors.” </p>
<p>But, you know, of course, that no one’s heard of Tufts, nor comprehends how top-quality it actually is, which is why NPR Washington in 2001 broadcast 5 of America’s best college essays to the Nation - 2 of which were from students who were going to matriculate at Tufts. </p>
<p>Or, how 2 strong contenders for the position of Secretary-General of the UN are Tufts graduates.</p>
<p>Ah, yes…here’s some more…<a href=“Account Suspended”>Account Suspended;
<p>Or, this from 2001 – note the positive reply from the author of the NYT article in the Daily Article: <a href=“http://www.tuftsdaily.com/media/storage/paper856/news/2001/04/01/391620/Tufts.Reputation.Strong.Despite.Wall.Street.Journal.Snub-1484899.shtml?norewrite200607272358&sourcedomain=www.tuftsdaily.com[/url]”>http://www.tuftsdaily.com/media/storage/paper856/news/2001/04/01/391620/Tufts.Reputation.Strong.Despite.Wall.Street.Journal.Snub-1484899.shtml?norewrite200607272358&sourcedomain=www.tuftsdaily.com</a></p>
<p>P.S. Sports DO have a large effect on national perception of universities – i.e. everyone knows Purdue; but that doesn’t mean it’s a superb school.</p>
