I think Tufts could be the most welcoming, heart-warming and sincere community on the face of the earth. The fact that you're holding an Reddit AMA session is incredible! Because I didn't have the chance to visit the colleges I'm applying to, there is always this bubble of 'mystery' surrounding universities that no amount of internet-based research can "unfog". But the Tufts admissions website is truly an exception.
My question is about a "college admissions fact" I've heard of. If an applicant is very strong and your admissions committee believes that particular applicant will get into 'bigger names' such as the ivies and bigger research universities, do you tend to not accept that applicant, assuming he/she will take up the offer of a 'bigger name' instead of Tufts' offer, even though he/she would be a great fit otherwise?
