Tufts admission officer doesn’t have time for this. Sorry, man. Check the admission stat and your decaying brain and time.

And OP, you say this blog is satire, but it’s unclear, and people take words for words. Tufts is one of the hardest schools to get in, and the admission selectivity at Tufts can be compared to schools that rank in US News top 20 like JHU and G’town. This type of posts make people look down on Tufts, and when you make “satire” or just make fool of one specific school and make false posts, it’s not funny at all. This isn’t even a clever satire, so I hope you don’t feel you’re super clever for making this type of post.

Tufts Syndrome is false. Tufts’ acceptance rate is only 2~3% away from Cornell, which is an Ivy, and so as SAT/ACT scores. So why call it “Tufts Syndrome”? How about other top schools that have lower admission stats like CMU and Emory? Schools you’re considering as “top universities” probably have pretty much similar admission stats with Tufts. Don’t even compare Tufts and Brandeis when it comes to admission. Those two schools are of different caliber.

OP, I know your blog is satire. I’m just responding to the idiot who left this comment. You said “IMO”, and yeah, your “IMO” is wrong. Tufts ED wouldn’t survive if what you think of Tufts is true.

Don.t I know it, J.D. But you told me that this blog is satire. Now what am I to believe. And let’s go ahead and call Duke an Ivy-heavy while we’re at it!

Tufts Syndrome thrives at Ivy Lites, but the schools you named in some cases are just as impressive as the Ivies.

Absolutely. WashU and GWU have the most extreme cases of Tufts Syndrome. Tufts has gotten over it.

You’re not passerby. You’re a hit and run alum…or worse, and admissions officer with way, way too much time on your hands. Sit back, have a scotch, and dream of Mother Harvard…your first choice.

Wow. They should re-name it Tuchy. Sorry, it’s not an Ivy. Wesleyan, Williams, Swarthmore, and Amherst have all just been crowned Ivy-lites.

When Tufts Syndrome was discovered, Tufts was not nearly as selective as it is today. Although the namesake of the Syndrome is now as cutthroat as Ivies, that doesn’t mean other schools (certainly some of the known cases can be explained by their use of demonstrated interest) don’t suffer from it.
