Does Tufts' "New Ivy" status matter?

"Maybe it will help school spirit and make people more proud to go here-why not? I think it's important to feel good about where you go to school."

Matt Cohen, Junior

"If people are looking to go to school here and they see "New Ivy" for Tufts, they're either going to think that they can't get in because it's an Ivy, or they're going to think that they want to go because it's an Ivy."

Sasha Kunin, Senior

" I definitely applied to Ivy League schools, but once you get here you realize that it doesn't matter. It doesn't change the student experience at all."

Howard Hsu, Junior

"I applied to Ivy schools, but the title is overrated. Just because a school is an Ivy doesn't mean it's where you want to be."

Matt Chan, Junior
