One of the hardest schools to get into in the US, Tufts University had a 14% acceptance rate in 2018. To put that in perspective Harvard is at 6%, Cornell is at 11%, and NYU is at 20%. Arguably a t-20, it's academic peers are UMich, Emory, Brandeis, and UCLA.
The typical student at Tufts took the hardest classes available at their High School, and got a mix of "A"s and "A-"s. Tufts student are fairly affluent (because of the incredibly high tuition), white, quirky, nerdy, and probably jewish. One of the things that sets Tufts apart from other schools is that students at Tufts tend to be all about saving the world, as opposed to making money. students tend to be a little weird, but really nice!
Nationwide, Tufts has a reputation for being a school for "Ivy Rejects". This partially comes from the fact that it's in a city with Harvard and MIT, and it's hard to compete with these schools. Although Tufts is many students first choice (it was my first choice, I applied ED!) lot's of students end up here when they get rejected by their first choice school (usually Brown) and end up here. It's known for its pre-med program, and is world-renowned for it's School of International Relations, the Fletcher School. It also has an engineering program that is surprisingly good.
If I had to describe Tufts in terms of other schools, I would call it a Northern Emory, Brown but a little easier to get in, and Brandeis but a little harder to get in.

I went to Tufts University for undergrad, studied international relations, then went to Harvard Law School and became a Judge.

Get the Tufts University mug.A university located in Norman, OK. This university consists of the stupidest and most illiterate people you will ever meet. Everyone here has a twelve foot metal rod stuck up their ass. The girls here are straight hoes and will sleep with any guy, the boys here think they are hot shit and are wannabe fuck boys. If you ever walked into a class at OU, the class will most likely be empty because everyone skips class everyday since they are lazy and unmotivated and prefer to smoke weed all day. If you ever meet someone who attended this university, just call them an OU tard.
A person I was interviewing for a job had a resume that said they went to the University of Oklahoma, I told them to get the fuck out of my office and never come back.

Get the University of Oklahoma mug.A little private christian college in some weird ass named town that starts with a B located an hour south of Chicago. Everyone tries to get married by sophomore year. Close to 90% of the people are sheltered and have never talked to the opposite sex so I guess it works out. All the women are naturally just thick as hell.

Get the University of Phoenix mug.A university with the intelligence of an Ivy League college and the parties of a state school. Students are the perfect mix of intelligent and social, able to ace an exam and immediately go out and party afterwards. Watch out for the 'Dores; they're gonna go far.
Admiration, sick parties, hot women, and a high-paying job after graduation await the men who are admitted into the elite Vanderbilt University

Get the Vanderbilt University mug.Utah's party school. Seriously about the only thing it's known for.
Dixie State University is a small school located in St. George Utah and founded in 1911. Formerly known as Dixie State College. Dixie's mascot is "Big D" which is kind of awesome. Kids go there to 'escape' Utah but still be in Utah. Many mormon freshmen will have their first sip of alcohol while attending Dixie. It's conveniently close to Las Vegas and California and is insanely hot in the summer. A genuinely great school with administration and professors that don't totally suck. Surrounded by beautiful Utah scenery and home to lots of outdoor activities. Like drinking. Lots and lots of drinking.

I heard the business program there is actually pretty good but I can't remember because I was way too drunk.
"Dude you're going to Dixie State University??"
"Yeah I really love it's location, curriculum, and affordability!"
"No, you just wanted to drink way too much and pretend you're still in high school"
"Yeah, you're right..."
