<p>Don’t choose your school based on rankings. Choose the school
whose programs and curricula most appeal to you.</p>
<p>But since your dad is concerned about rankings, here are

<p>Forbes 2013:
Tufts#32 overall (#15 universities)

<p>I believe Tufts “ranking” in the wonderful Fiske Guide puts it near or
at the top for academics and quality of life. </p>
<p>So you see, splitting hairs when it comes to broad rankings!</p>
