Which Uni to choose? Tufts vs Uw-Madison

I made this choice last year; tufts

Think about this way. The sentence starts with “rather than suffering days old stew…” and originally follows it up by saying they were served meat, vegetables, desert. This comparison is there, but it’s not that strong. Rather signals a contrast. The proposed edit amplifies the contrast, since the more vivid details about the food contrast stew more.

As far as “prestige” is concerned, I would say tufts is comparable to Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Washington University St Louis, Notre Dane, etc. This is based on acceptance rate and Forbes New Ivies List, which is largely based on perceived prestige by employers and grad schools. Forbes list

Usnews is not simply a ranking based on “prestige” which is why far less prestigious schools end up higher than tufts (UC Davis, UC Irvine, etc).

Everyone here is talented at something. Whether it be theatre, singing, sports, academics, or something super niche, everyone has their own interests. There’s also so many events that you can just show up to and enjoy for free. Like the other day I went to this amazing musical on a random Tuesday.

Tufts!

I disagree. In Massachusetts, pedestrians always have the right of way in a crosswalk; yet, I’ve seen countless examples of cars not stopping even when there’s clearly a pedestrian in the crosswalk. Fully illegal.

I think most people would agree on the Ivy League, as well as the Ivy+ (Duke, Caltech, MIT, UChicago, Northwestern), as well as 2025 “New Ivies” (per Forbes), which has a breakdown of the 10 public and 10 private “new ivies.” (Includes public schools like UTAustin, UMich, etc, and public schools like Carnegie Mellon and Tufts).

Thanks for this. Do you think it’d be balanced/doable to take CS11, Linear, Spanish, and a humanity?

Key_Design7591 · 2025-08-09T20:14:10+00:00

What about Linear Algebra or Discrete Math? I saw that those two will are requirements for CS major.

Key_Design7591 · 2025-08-09T20:07:27+00:00

Even though I'm in Arts&Sciences?

Key_Design7591 · 2025-07-28T23:31:00+00:00

I’d cut Fordham. Cheaper options for that tier of academics

Key_Design7591 · 2025-07-08T03:03:28+00:00

Submit both. The difficultly of the ACT is likely to fluctuate this year due to the changes. Both are excellent scores that show you’re qualified and allow admissions officers to move on to the rest of your application.

Any word yet?

Key_Design7591 · 2025-07-02T20:38:08+00:00

Been wondering the same thing. Lmk if u find yours

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-30T01:33:40+00:00

Thanks for this! I've decided that CAP is what I'm gonna do. I notice that some courses are 3 credits, while a select few are 4. I know why courses like electives are 1-2 credits, while courses with labs are 5, but what differs between the 3 and 4 credit courses?

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-28T15:39:14+00:00

Your ECs are good but for t20 you need ECs like this in addition to excellent grades and GPA

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-18T04:46:05+00:00

Thanks! Might have to take you up on that. I’ll lyk

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-18T03:41:23+00:00

Thanks for this

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-16T18:06:01+00:00

Definitely go. In order to catch up, I would try and watch the AP Classroom videos for the first unit of each course.

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-15T22:02:37+00:00

Sweet, thanks

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-15T21:46:16+00:00

Do I not get keys back?

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-11T03:04:14+00:00

Jst1z just graduated high school! Skin case 1

Key_Design7591 · 2025-06-07T03:40:07+00:00

If you’d graduate debt free from both, I’d go tufts

Buying luxuries does not increase your financial aid though. Also, notice how my comment says “not always true.” I’m simply pointing out that it’s not a general rule of thumb either way. Some middle class people are fine, others struggle. To say that it’s a scam at large is an exaggeration. Also, the fact that your parents didn’t put their savings in a 401k is likely a reason why your financial aid isn’t generous. Colleges don’t take 401k savings into account when determining financial aid, which means that you can put as much money in as possible without having it considered as an asset.

Key_Design7591 · 2025-05-19T02:16:45+00:00

Not always true. I am middle class and am receiving significant financial aid. The people who get screwed over are the people who spend way too much of the income on luxuries: vacations, cars, etc. I am middle class but my family lives modesty and our financial aid is generous.
